BET Executive issues public apology to Beyonce and Jay Z after Karrueche Tran’s joke on “106 & Park” went wrong.

Check out the details below.

BET is issuing a public apology to Jay Z and Beyonce after some backlash about a joke regarding their daughter Blue Ivy.  The joke was read on the air by Karrueche Tran who was co-hosting the “106 & Park” show on the night of the MTV Video Music Awards.  Reading off a script of the “top six things Blue Ivy thought about the VMAs,” she joked — from the two-year-old’s point of view — “I really did wake up like this because my parents never combed my hair.”  Karrueche, best known as the on again-off again girlfriend of singer Chris Brown, apologized during the show and on Twitter after reiterating her respect for the hip-hop super couple.

BET exec Stephen Hill is now coming forward to make amends as well, tweeting that it was “a stupid, unthoughtful joke made about a young child.”  He adds that the network has apologized to Bey and Jay both publicly and privately and has “taken punitive actions with those responsible.”

    Let’s face it “Kids are Off Limits”, however with all of the $$$ The Carters have why not hire a hair stylist for Baby Girl just to shut the public up.
