She may be touring the world as a solo artist, but at least
Beyoncé Knowles has her baby daughter to keep her company. Taking a break from
the nightly performances, the mother-of-one spent some quality time with Blue
Ivy at the pool of their hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. Soaking up the
sunshine, Beyoncé, 31, and 18-month old Blue looked every bit the loving mother
and daughter on Thursday afternoon. Knowles wore her long, blonde-highlighted hair in
tight curls and covered up in a blue and green kaftan. Underneath the
singer wore a Aztec print swimming costume, which she put into practice by
taking a dip in the waters to cool off under the Miami sun. Blue wore a yellow
T-shirt with orange leggings, but her mother quickly took her bottoms off so
she can run around in her nappy, care-free.But while Beyoncé was all smiles with her daughter on Thursday,
she wasn't happy when the not guilty verdict was given to George Zimmerman
after he killed a young black teenager. At her concert in Nashville, Tennessee,
the superstar said, 'I'd like to have a moment of silence for Trayvon' who was shot and killed while unarmed by a
neighbourhood watch patrol officer.
According to attendees at the gig, the
stage then grew dark before Beyoncé sang the chorus of I Will Always Love You
before transitioning into Halo. And Knowles wasn't the only musician to use
their stage as a platform to share their ill-feelings towards Zimmerman's
acquittal. Nas dedicated one of his songs at Yahoo! Wireless Festival to the
departed teenager, followed by Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest who also said
their set was a tribute to Trayvon, but also took the opportunity to ask the
crowd to 'pray for America'.
Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z shouted 'RIP Trayvon Martin' before
changing from a white shirt and Brooklyn Nets cap into a black and white
T-shirt which read 'Blame Society'.
