Beyoncé's makeup artist did the 'moonwalk' when he learned her baby shared his name
Ever since Beyoncé introduced her twins, Sir Carter and Rumi, to the world in a lavish Instagram post, her legion has had one question: Did Bey name her firstborn son after her makeup artist?
Sir John is the man behind the singer’s most memorable looks, including the makeup artistry for her “Single Ladies” music video, her Formation and The Mrs. Carter Show world tours, and her 2013 self-titled visual album. The name may be unconventional, but it does suggest a gallant presence, which Sir John absolutely possesses. Jay-Z even spoke to the gentlemanly quality of the name “Sir” in a revealing interview on the Rap Radar podcast, where he shared the meaning behind the twins’ names.
During a recent appearance on BUILD Series to promote the new Lifetime reality competition show American Beauty Star, Sir John attempted to clear up any remaining rumors about the canny similarity.
“I’m flattered that people think that. I mean in my mind, I was doing the moonwalk across the kitchen floor like Michael J. Fox. But I don’t know, I can’t take credit for it,” says Sir John. “If people think she was inspired, that’s supercool.”
Adriana Lima, who is an executive producer and the host of American Beauty Star, agreed that “it’s a cool name.”
She adds, “I love your name. It’s superstrong and it says a lot about him and his personality. If I have a son, that will also be on my list.”
Could Sir become the most popular baby name for boys? Only time will tell.
