Kelly Rowland Says Ruining Beyoncé’s Gender Reveal Was The ‘Worst Moment Ever’

Author Autumn Hawkins

Kelly Rowland says that one of her worst moments ever was a 2011 slip-up. She accidentally ruined Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s gender reveal when the Renaissance creator was pregnant with her oldest child, Blue Ivy Carter. The Destiny’s Child alum was referring to her 2011 interview with Bang Showbiz where she said that the rap mogul was “going to buy that little girl every single thing possible.”

“When I made a mistake and told the sex of [Beyoncé]’s baby when she was pregnant with Blue [Ivy],” Rowland shared on Yeah, I F–ked That Up podcast. “That was the worst moment ever. The worst moment ever.”

She later explained why she was horrified by the mistake since it was “no one’s business” and because it wasn’t her news to share.

However, that has had no effect on the former Destiny’s Child members’ relationship. Rowland remains friends with both Bey and Jay and has supported the multihyphenate entertainer during her Renaissance tour.

As for the Renaissance World Tour, it kicked off in May in Stockholm, Sweden, and ends in Kansas City, MO on Oct. 1.

Beyoncé announced the tour on Feb. 1, after the release of Renaissance in 2022. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking it her seventh chart-topper in her solo career. Prior to the release of Renaissance, which Beyoncé created during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Houston native expressed that the project was her “safe place” in the midst of uncertainty.

“Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world,” Beyoncé shared to her official website at the time. “It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom.”

Beyoncé: 5 Destiny's Child Songs We Want Her To Perform On The 'Renaissance Tour'

  • "Say My Name" 'The Writing's on the Wall' (1999)

    “Say My Name” is a Destiny’s Child classic and all OG Destiny’s Child fans would love to here Beyoncé perform it on tour. The song won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best R&B Song in 2001. The song is from the group’s 1999 album The Writing’s on the Wall.

  • "Solider" 'Destiny Fulfilled' (2004)

    “Solider” would be a great addition to the set list as Beyoncé has already displayed that she has an army-inspired custom IVY Park outfit for the tour. This record is from the group’s final album Destiny Fulfilled which was released in 2004. The song features rappers T.I. and Lil Wayne. The record was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance in 2006.

  • "Cater 2 U" 'Destiny Fulfilled' (2004)

    We could definitely see a “Cater 2 U” being performed before or after “Plastic Off The Sofa.” The song is found on Destiny Fulfilled which was released in 2004. The song was nominated for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 2006.

  • "Bills Bills Bills"

    Well, since Beyoncé told us to quit our jobs on “Break My Soul” she can at least perform “Bills Bills Bills” because someone has to pay them, right? “Bills Bills Bills” is from Destiny Child’s second studio album The Writing’s on the Wall. The song was the group’s first No. 1 hit.
