Beyonce and Jay-Z may be some of the biggest names on the planet but that doesn't mean they'll pass up on any dirty work now they've become parents. 
 
 Speaking in her first interview since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce has spoken of how her and Jay-Z will be bringing her up in a "normal loving family". 
 
 And yep, that means even Jay-Z - who Bey says will be an "inspirational father" - will be changing Blue's dirty nappies. 
 
 "He will change diapers, of course he will," the singer told Star magazine. "He's going to be a very hands-on father and he is going to be so good at it. 
 
 "Life will be normal for her because we are a normal loving family. At home she’ll be part of a normal loving family." 
 
 Blue will also have a queue of showbiz babysitters waiting to look after her, with the first in-line being Beyonce's Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland. 
 
 The X Factor judge "can't wait" to start her duties according to the new mum. 
 
 "You better try and stop Kelly, she can't wait! She was doing X Factor for a lot of my pregnancy, but she was always calling me to see how everything was going." 
 
 Beyonce also took the interview as an opportunity to dispel some of the rumours surrounding Blue's birth. 
 
 It had been claimed the couple forked out $1.3m on hiring a whole floor of New York's Lenox Hill Hospital, and while Beyonce admitted security at the hospital was tight, she said many stories had been exaggerated. 
 
 "Security was very tight, but not just for the sake of it, it was for the security of our daughter. As usual certain things have been exaggerated but that seemed to be the story of my pregnancy," she said.

 Even on the day of the actual birth, more rumors swirled including that the couple shelled out $1.3 million to book a whole floor in the maternity ward, a claim that the hospital quickly refuted. 
 
 
 
 "The suggestion that the couple paid $1.3 million to rent an entire maternity floor is simply not true. The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations. Our executive suites are available for any patient, including the food service and amenities provided to the Carter family," Frank Danza, a spokesman for Lenox Hill Hospital stated. 
 
 
 
 Jay-Z has also released a musical statement about the birth of his daughter. The rapper released a song, “Glory” feat. B.I.C., on his website on Monday. In the rap, Jay spits that, “My greatest creation was you” and dedicates the track to “the most beautiful girl in the world.”
– It's difficult to believe that Beyoncé would give her first interview since the birth of her daughter to a UK tabloid, but that exclusive is exactly what the UK's Star claims to have. "Nothing can describe the feeling," the singer apparently told the magazine. "You have the instant connection once you know your child is growing inside you, but when you hold it for the first time, the words can’t be found. … A child is the greatest gift you can receive." She also reveals that "inspirational father" Jay-Z "will change diapers, of course he will," the Huffington Post UK reports. "He's going to be a very hands-on father and he is going to be so good at it." She insists Blue Ivy Carter will grow up in a "normal loving family" and says some of the stories swirling around the birth were exaggerated. Even so, security was "tight," she admits, but "it was for the security of our daughter." In other Babyoncé news, Blue Ivy has apparently convinced dad Jay-Z to give up the word "bitch."
