BET has suspended a producer after a joke about Beyonce and Jay Z's
daughter that aired Monday on the network's music video countdown show,
"106 & Park."
A source at the network, who spoke on the condition of anonymity
because the person was not allowed to discuss the matter publicly, said the
producer was suspended after a remark about 2-year-old Blue Ivy's hair.
On Monday's show during a segment about Blue Ivy's hypothetical
thoughts during Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, guest host Karrueche Tran
said: "I really did wake up like this, because my parents never comb my
hair." Blue Ivy joined her mother onstage at the VMAs.
Stephen Hill, BET's president of music programming and specials,
publicly apologized on Twitter.
"Last night on 106 & Park there was a stupid, unthoughtful
joke made about a young child," Hill tweeted.
Hill also said the network privately apologized to Beyonce and Jay Z.
