Someone Leaked A Photo Of Beyoncé's Kids

A photo of Beyoncé and JAY-Z's three children has leaked on social media, and the Beyhive wants answers!
The black-and-white photo, which iHeartRadio has chosen not to republish, appears to have been taken in the Carters' private residence or office and features Blue Ivy holding her twin siblings Rumi and Sir while sitting in front of a bed of flowers. The photo, which was a photo of the framed image, had not been seen before nor shared on Bey or Jay's social media accounts, which led fans to believe it was taken without their knowledge.
While many blamed Hollywood Unlocked, who posted the image to Instagram Wednesday (April 3), for the photo leak, the company's owner Jason Lee denied it. "We received a photo of Beyoncé’s children via an anonymous source and posted the image believing that it had already been posted by the Carters," he said of his company in a statement to Buzzfeed News. "After receiving a call from Beyoncé’s representative and learning that the image was not authorized we immediately removed it from our platform out of respect for their privacy.”
While Jason claims HU received the image from an anonymous source, HU gave photo credits to Freeish Media when they shared the image on Instagram. "#HUBabyFever Aww #Beyonce and #JayZ's kids #BlueIvy, #SirCarter and #Rumi Carter posted up together [...] via: @freeishmedia," read the HU's caption.
Buzzfeed later reported that Freeish Media's post, which has since been deleted, was a screenshot showing a tweet from Twitter user @713yonce. However, the Twitter account has since been deleted.
