Blue Ivy Carter Goes Home To $600K Gold Rocking Horse, Hospital Investigating Special Treatment

Normal kid stuff.

Blue Ivy Carter has left the building. Specifically, baby Blue has departed her private digs at Lenox Hill Hospital to go live with her parents, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, in Tribeca. The little diva, less than a week old, left the hospital in a luxury Mercedes van. So, now what?

She's probably enjoying her new digs—reportedly she has a nearly $20,000 crib that looks like a carriage in a fairytale. And according to the NY Post, she's also got a "solid-gold, handmade horse from Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka that Jay-Z bought for $600,000." The kind of person to buy a newborn a solid gold horse for $600,000 certainly wouldn't be the kind of person to hand over some cash for a birthing room hand built around his specifications, right?

That's right, Baby Blue may be at home, but BabyGate continues! According to the Daily News, the head of Lenox Hill Hospital has ordered an internal investigation after non-famous new parents complained they weren't allowed to see their newborns because the Carter family's security detail stopped them. Executive Director Frank Danza is now talking to the parents who felt they were inconvenienced by the famous couple's special treatment (which the hospital has been denying even happened). He adds that the couple did not pay $1.3 million to rent out an entire floor, nor did they pay for renovations to the suites, claming instead that "several newly built executive suites" were just completed before they arrived, so the couple got lucky. Right, so the average couple now needs bullet-proofing and tinted windows in their hospital room?

WHY SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY ON A BABY OMG

MaseInYourFace

This kid is gonna be so spoiled...

I wonder what the infant girl looks like. I wonder if she looks like him, and if they would even pay some greedy plastic surgeon to cosmetically arrange her face to look cute(r).

A $600,000 gold horse? Seriously Jay-Z C'mon. Reminds me of a saying from the good book. "It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

This is some dumb shit at best. Beyonce and Jay Z are too damn ghetto to be real. A gold horse??? I don't give a damn if they can afford it. It's a waste. It's so sad. Take that money and help those who cannot help themselves. I just hate wastefulness. My God!!!

MaseInYourFace

Yeah it's just so wasteful. I know I know it's your kid and you can damn well do what you want whenever you want with your money but with so many problems in the world, $600,000 for a toy horse?

Now she wont be riding anything else in her life unless its made of gold

Let's see. $600,000 in gold. Gold is running $52,761/kg at the moment. So we have 11.4 kg. 11.4 kilos of gold is 591 cubic centimeters. Let's say that horse has a surface area of 1 square meter and is 5mm thick (roughly guessing from the picture). That's 5000 cubic centimeters. So no, no way that horse is solid gold.

Sir, you are hired!

Babies...you're all going to be wearing gold plated diapers!

Is it still an investigation if you're investigating yourself? You kind of already know what happened. Hilarious.

Security detail cant arrest you. Why would any parent whos child is in NICU even listen to some dipshit in a tin badge?

Blue Ivy is a pretty decent porn name....Good luck with that Jay

Because the security guys will elbow your throat, slam you on the ground and hold you in an arm lock until the cops arrive and then you'll spend a minimum of a few hours or a day or two in some precinct holding cell until charges are dropped and you're allowed to go free.

By then, god forbid, maybe your NICU kid is dead.

So, that's why you have to listen to the dipshits. They (Jay-Z's security team) are not going to give some random schmuck the benefit of the doubt and let them through. Orders are orders and they're getting PAID..

MaseInYourFace

Plus not to mention if something were to happen between you and the security who do you think the cops will believe. Your lawyer probably some guy who got his degree through the mail vs their lawyers. Not a fair match huh?

Nouveau-riche think it's all about being ostentatious and therefore always end up being vulgar.

annie-oakley

horsechoker

you are stanning, bruh. i'm a jay-z fan but dude is an asshole.

I hope these two @ssholes get the shit sued outa them. As well as the hospital for accommodating this selfish act.

Getting in the way of families who need to be with their children just to feed their ego is certainly a clear indication that these two monsters have lost all touch with humanity and I wish the worst for them.

Most rich people have no souls, for some reason.
