Did Beyoncé Honor Rarely-Seen Sir With Special Nod That Fans Almost Missed At Cowboy Carter Show?

Beyoncé knows just how to shine the spotlight on her son, Sir Carter, despite keeping him away from the public eye.

Amid her ongoing "Cowboy Carter" tour, the record-breaking singer took time out to celebrate her twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, turning eight years old.

However, beyond the public spectacle, Beyoncé paid a special tribute to her only son, who has faced attacks from celebrities like Kanye West.

During the fourth stop of the Cowboy Carter tour in London, Beyoncé shone the spotlight on her younger kids, making the day all about them.

While Rumi was present on stage to receive all the love from thousands of fans, her brother, Sir, is often kept away from the spotlight. Nevertheless, Queen B made sure his presence was felt throughout.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the microphone stand during Thursday's show had a rubber duckling charm attached to it.  A recording of the singer belting out the tune to "Alligator Tears" while the charm swung around has since circulated on social media.

"The duck on the mic stand today and Bey saying 'peanut butter jelly' during the last show. Did she lose a bet with Rumi and Sir?" the user speculated on X.

However, it didn't take long for the Beyhive to unravel the mystery behind the hidden gesture. Fans referenced a revelation from Tina Knowles' 2025 memoir, "The Matriarch," where she allegedly shared one of her grandsons' favorite hobbies.

"Ms Tina said Sir gets up early and goes to the swing [and] feeds the ducks. He loves it in the Hamptons," a user explained. "Loves his books and loves to spell, she said."

The doting grandmother previously mentioned that Sir is an avid reader in a March 2025 interview with E! News. Ms. Knowles said the introverted preschooler has a favorite story about “the smallest tree being the most powerful tree."

The famous momager explained, "It ends up being the most powerful tree and saving the day, and he loves that book!"

Ms. Knowles further noted that while her grandson is reserved, he is "very, very smart" and "does all of the numbers stuff."

While Queen Bey rarely speaks about her children, there is no doubt they are the center of her world.

She made that obvious on June 12 when she called on fans at the Tottenham Hotspur studio to celebrate her twins. "Everybody say happy birthday, Rumi," the 43-year-old urged the roaring crowd.

Beyoncé was in full mother mode as she sweetly hugged Rumi, the celebrant, while big sister Blue Ivy stood by her right. The little one seemed thrilled about the shout-out from fans.

"Say happy birthday, Sir! Mommy loves you," the 35-time Grammy winner continued, as seen in the clip shared on social media. Beyoncé then dotingly planted a sweet kiss on Rumi before continuing her performance.

Following the serenade, the 8-year-old, who joins her mom and sister on stage for "Protector," was seen getting super emotional as Blue Ivy escorted her off stage.

The global popstar welcomed her twins, Sir and Rumi Carter, in June 2017 alongside her husband, Jay-Z.

Beyoncé didn't confirm the news of her twins' arrival until July, when she marked their first month's birthday on Instagram with their first-ever photos.

Although not in the limelight like their big sister, the twins feature in some of their mother's famous projects. Beyoncé's 2020 "Black Is King" visual album was dedicated to her son, Sir.

Rumi, on the other hand, was featured on her country album, "Cowboy Carter." She has also been a part of the ongoing tour since its first show in April 2025.

Rumi and Sir's eighth birthday celebration comes months after Kanye West publicly attacked the twins amid his feud with Jay-Z.

The disgraced rapper, who has a bone to pick with the power couple missing his 2014 wedding to Kim Kardashian, unleashed an offensive tirade on X.

In since-deleted tweets, the Donda Academy founder wrote, "WAIT, HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCE'S YOUNGER KIDS(?)."

He added, "THEY'RE RETARDED. NO LIKE LITERALLY, AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMNATION IS SUCH A BLESSING. HAVING RETARDED CHILDREN IS A CHOICE."

West has since apologized to Jay-Z for using a slur to describe his twins.  "I'm sorry, Jay Z. I be feeling bad about my tweet, but I still feel I gave my life to this industry, and thought so many people were my family but when I needed family on some real sh-t, none of these rap n—s had my back," he wrote.
