Karrueche Tran’s Blue Ivy Joke on 106 & Park Sparked Backlash Before the Show Ended
In 2014, BET’s 106 & Park sparked controversy after airing a comedy segment imagining the “Top Six Things Blue Ivy Thought About the VMAs.” During the skit, Karrueche Tran portrayed Blue Ivy and delivered the line: “‘I really did wake up like this because my parents never combed my hair,’” before laughing and adding, “Sorry, Blue! I love you!”
After the segment received widespread criticism, Karrueche addressed the backlash on social media, explaining that she was not responsible for writing the material.

“Now y’all know I LOVE me some Beyoncé and Blue Ivy! I didn’t write this script y’all lol”

In response to the controversy, Stephen G. Hill, then-president of music programming and specials for BET Networks, personally contacted Jay-Z and Beyoncé to apologize for the joke.

The incident became one of the most controversial moments in 106 & Park’s history. Later that year, the long-running music countdown series aired its final episode, concluding its 14-year run in December 2014.
