Being a legendary rapper who literally defined the word “cool” for two entire generations of Gen X’ers and millennials could not stop Jay-Z from causing daughter Blue Ivy Carter, 10, to full-body cringe with embarrassment at a Warriors versus Celtics game on Monday, June 14.
It may be indisputably rad to have a dad who can take you to NBA games where you sit get to sit courtside and meet the players and all of that, but that does not mean that said dad will not still be completely goofy.
Video from the game caught Jay throwing his arm around Blue (who looks so much like her mother it’s like Beyoncé got hit with a shrink ray, by the way) in an attempt to pose for a cute, daddy and daughter photo—only for Blue to try pulling away with a look that translates in all languages to, “Oh my God, Dad.”
The video has no sound, but Blue is seen mouthing something that looks an awful lot like, “Stop it,” which Jay laughs off, before giving his daughter a kiss on the cheek.

It should come as no surprise that the 10-year-old Grammy winner looked more chic in her Nikes and leather motorcycle jacket than 99% of adults on their best day. Blue Ivy’s curly bangs and gold hoop earrings were also flawlessly on trend. Even her braces look kind of cool.
Another SportsCenter video on Twitter shows Blue Ivy and her extremely corny dad greeting Warriors players after the game. Jay-Z is shaking hands while Blue gets a high five from Draymond Green. Just normal kid stuff, you know.

It sure seems like Blue Ivy was just born yesterday, but the world’s tiniest icon is officially almost a preteen now. If she’s anything like other kids, this means it’ll be several years before she realizes that her parents are very cool people, actually. What a life!
