   Karrueche Tran crosses the line with Beyonce fans by making a joke about Blue Ivy’s hair

Here’s why you should never mess with Beyonce fans (known collectively as the Beyhive), no matter what: Karrueche Tran, better known as the model who has been dating Chris Brown for several years now, went on BET the other day and made a joke about Blue Ivy Carter’s hair and how it could use a bit of combing.

Blue Ivy, in case you’ve been living under a rock, is the daughter of Beyonce and husband Jay Z. A short while ago, a petition was started online by a woman who had absolutely no connection to these 3, asking Beyonce to be a mother and comb her daughter’s hair because it looked similar to a rat’s nest.

As expected, the petition didn’t have any result because both Bey and Jay chose to ignore it completely, but it did make waves online, opening the debate on whether the children of celebrities should be treated as celebrities themselves, or instead, be allowed anonymity.

The ladies on The View, for instance, were very offended that a stranger would see proper to criticize a mother on how she’s raising her child, only because the mother happens to be Beyonce, the most famous female artist of the moment.

This explains why fans reacted so violently when Karrueche did a hair joke on BET, as the video below can confirm. Children are not to be made fun of, whether their parents are famous or not, so she should have never said the things she said about Blue Ivy on air.

Unlike most children, who only have their family to stand up for them when someone mocks them, Blue Ivy has the entire Beyhive watching her back. Within minutes after the BET segment aired, Karrueche was receiving death threats along with very negative comments on her social media.

Most of them can’t be reproduced here, but suffice it to say that Beyonce’s fans were fuming mad that Karrueche would pick on a kid to get extra attention.

She’s sorry she did it, if it makes any difference now. However, it wasn’t entirely her fault because it’s what BET made her say.

“Past two days have been extremely draining.. As I geared up for a big day for myself - hosting a live show.. I never expected things to turn out this way.. I apologize to any and everyone who felt offended in any way by the comments made by BET executed through me..,” Karrueche writes on Instagram, in a post accompanying the photos below.

“I would never disrespect anyone's child in any way and anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE Beyonce. My comments have been in complete shambles.. yes I am human too and yes I do make mistakes.. But all this negativity and death wishes are quite a lot.. Definitely a lesson learned from here forth.. Again, on behalf of MYSELF, my sincerest apologies,” she continues.

She sounds honest but not all the fans are buying it. Some even say that she agreed to do the joke knowing exactly what would happen, thinking she could just erase it by saying she’s sorry but still get the extra attention.

Whether that was the case or not, one thing is clear: Karrueche Tran did the unthinkable and the unpardonable with the Beyhive by mocking Blue Ivy’s hair.
