Earlier this week a silly rumor started to make the rounds that insisted that new parents Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z chose Oprah Winfery and Jay‘s BFF Tyran Ty Ty Smith to be godparents to their newborn baby girl Blue Ivy. Today we learn, sadly, that the rumor is not true … well, at least half of the rumor isn’t true. Oprah‘s BFF Gayle King has denied the report that Oprah will be godmother to Blue Ivy. Click below to read what Gayle has to say about this ridiculous godmother rumor.

Contrary to previous reports, Oprah Winfrey is not a godmother to Beyonce Knowles’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter. On Friday, January 27, Winfrey’s close friend Gayle King set the record straight on “CBS This Morning”, saying, “It’s absolutely not true that she’s the godmother.” “She’s friends with them, of course, and likes them both very much. She’s working on sending them a baby gift. She hasn’t even had time to send a baby gift because she’s been away,” King explained. “Let me just say, if (that report is) true, it is news to her. It is news to her. You know, she was heading to South Africa when the baby was born.”

LOL. I mean … c’mon. As much as it would be awesome to have Oprah Winfrey as a godmother, I never really put any stock in the original rumor. I suppose if Oprah‘s out as godmother, Ty Ty Smith is also out as godfather … but who the hell knows. Actually, B-Jay know but I’m gonna bet good money that they are not going to be sharing that information with the public for a very long time (if ever).

Poor Blue Ivy. Can you imagine all the amazing toys/gifts/whatever she’ll be missing out by not having Oprah as her godmother? Dang.
