Rumi Carter Seems To Be Tired Of Performing Next To Beyoncé On The ‘Cowboy Carter’ Tour

On the first night of Beyoncé's string of "Cowboy Carter" stops at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Rumi Carter gave the audience (and social media users) a much-needed laugh with her amusingly nonchalant demeanor during her segment.

For those unfamiliar with the tour's setlist, Rumi has been making a quick appearance during the song "PROTECTOR," sitting beside her superstar mother and her older sister, Blue Ivy Carter.

Since the tour began, Rumi had initially melted hearts worldwide with her enthusiastic reaction to Beyoncé's fans showering her with love. At first, the seven-year-old glided on stage with a big smile, waving uncontrollably at the audience. During the May 22 show, however, Rumi sang a different tune, sparking amusement and chatter among fans.

The seven-year-old appeared unenthusiastic about her responsibilities in the "Cowboy Carter" tour during the May 22 stop, glancing at the crowd with an unimpressed expression.

The fans, however, weren't bothered by Rumi's lack of enthusiasm. In fact, they were amused.

One user posted a viral TikTok with the caption, "When the job starts feeling like a JOB."

Another user also chimed in, writing, "The nervous jitters are done. She used to the cheers now. The thrill is done lol she ready to clock out."

"I don't know what stop is the last stop, but Rumi ain't making it there," a third fan commented. "Baby doesn't even seem like the type to put in the two weeks; she's just gonna pull a no-call, no-show."

"She wanted to get on that stage so bad in the beginning, now she's over it," another fan remarked. "Naw, baby, get your energy back up because we're coming to see you."

"Rumi ready to put in that 2 weeks," another joked.

While Rumi's latest viral reaction might lead some to assume she doesn't enjoy sharing the stage with her mother, her grandmother, Tina Knowles, said this couldn't be further from the truth.

"You know my granddaughter Rumi told me, I said, 'How do you feel when you wave and everybody screams," Tina said in a previous interview during a promotional stop for her book, "Matriarch."

"She said, 'It feels powerful.' I was like, 'Oh. I see what you mean,'" Tina added.

The 71-year-old, who recently became a New York Times best-selling author, also touched on being honored by her daughter at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Now, while Rumi's recent on-stage demeanor has captured attention, Beyoncé's oldest daughter, Blue Ivy, has clearly been relishing her part in the "Cowboy Carter" tour.

In fact, the 13-year-old has enjoyed it so much that an insider recently suggested she is getting ready to launch her own solo career.

"Blue is considering starting her own career in music," the insider said. "Some of Beyoncé's favorite writers are quietly penning demos for her in anticipation of a solo album."

Additionally, Blue is reportedly working with some of the industry's most talented writers and producers, including her aunt, Solange Knowles, and The-Dream, who is known for collaborating with stars such as Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Kanye West.
