Jay-Z denies reports that would stop using the word 'bitch' in his raps after the birth of his daughter Blue Ivy.

Yesterday reports emerged that Jay-Z had published a poem (although since he's a rapper we presume it was more of a 'beatless rhyme') in which he professed that the birth of his daughter Blue Ivy Carter made him realize the disrespectfulness of the term 'bitch'.

Now Jay-Z has bluntly stated that the poem and the reports are fake, and therefore we can assume he'll happily be calling everyone bitches in future recordings.

According to the New York Daily News, Jay 'scoffed' at the reported news, only saying 'That poem and story are fake'.

The article also revealed that Beyonce is about to make her first post-baby appearance when Jay-Z reopens his 40/40 Club in New York tonight.

Jay-Z vows to drop 'bitch'

Jay-Z has sworn to stop using the word 'bitch' in his lyrics now that his daughter Blue Ivy Carter has entered the world.

Z, whose song 99 Problems famously features the lyric 'I've got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one,' revealed his pledge in poem-form:

Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich
I didn't think hard about using the word bitch
I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it
Now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it
No man will degrade her, or call her names
I'm so focused on your future, the degradation has passed
I wish you wealth, health and insight
Forever young you may pass
Blue Ivy Carter, my angel

It's unclear whether this means he'll not incorporate the word into future songs or whether he'll cut any song with the word from his future sets. I guess time will tell.
