Curious onlookers and TV satellite vans staked out Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan's posh Upper East Side, waiting for a glimpse of Blue Ivy Carter, born Saturday, and her proud parents.
However, the rap mogul, the Grammy winning former Destiny's Child star, and their A-list tot slipped past waiting paparazzi with a motorcade of black SUVs at 1:30 am, the New York Daily News reported
Jay-Z, originally Shawn Carter, released a newly recorded song "Glory" with a little accompaniment from his crying daughter, and New York tabloids celebrated with front-page spreads.RAPA BYE BABY," the New York Post splashed across a picture of the parents. "SONG OF JOY," chimed the rival News.
As befitting a celebrity, Blue Ivy was also at the center of her first controversy.
Local media reports said some staff at Lenox Hill and fellow patients were angry at the way the celebrity family had taken over swaths of the facility for private use.
A man from Brooklyn said he'd been unable to access his own baby in intensive care because of the invasion by Jay-Z's security team.
People don't need to be treated like this when dealing with sick children," Neil Nash-Coulon told CBS television Monda
According to the Daily News, the dead-of-night departure was no less disruptive than the hospital stay, with SUVs blocking traffic as part of an elaborate maneuver to protect the celebrities, who traveled in a large van with blacked-out windows.
Ignoring the grumbling, Jay-Z and Beyonce issued a statement to US Weekly saying: "Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven."
Jay-Z's best statement, though, came accompanied by music.
On the track "Glory," which is announced "featuring B.I.C," Jay-Z reveals that previously his wife suffered a miscarriage.
Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/ We was afraid you disappeared but nah/ baby, you magic."
