"They need to read the room" - Netizens react as Jay-Z and Beyoncé attend premiere of The Lion King with Blue Ivy

Beyoncé’s family, including husband Jay-Z, accompanied her to the premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King. The event, held in Los Angeles on December 9, 2024, also witnessed the presence of the singer-songwriter’s mother Tina Knowles, and daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

The entire family was spotted posing for photographers while walking the red carpet. Notably, the press was unaware of the other three members coming to attend the event, despite the fact that they were confirmed to be a part of it, as stated by The Hollywood Reporter.

The outlet stated that Blue Ivy Carter initially posed for pictures and was later joined by her parents. Beyoncé and Blue opted for similar outfits as they came to the event.

Meanwhile, netizens took to the comments section of a post shared by Pop Base on X to share their reactions to Beyoncé and her family’s appearance at the event. One of them wrote:

“They need to read the room omg.”

A user addressed his opinion based on Blue’s expression as she looked at her mother, alongside others who simply praised the family’s presence at the event.

“Oh she’s p*ssed at them”, a user wrote on X.

“Trio was looks good”, a netizen stated on X.

“Everyone looks so happy”, one of the reactions reads.

A few users specifically appreciated Blue, with some of them speaking of her height.

“She’s gotten so tall”, one of the users stated.

“Blue Ivy amazing”, another user reaction reads.

“Blue Ivy is so beautiful she’s gonna be taller than both her parents at this rate”, an X reaction mentioned.

A day before the family attended the event, Jay-Z was accused of r*ping a girl back in 2000 and his name was added to a lawsuit that was originally filed against Diddy in October this year.

The lawsuit claimed that the alleged victim was 13 years old when the incident happened at a house party, which was reportedly attended by some famous faces from the industry.

On the other hand, Jay-Z denied the accusations in a lengthy statement posted through the official account of his company Roc Nation on X.
