Small Details You Missed In Jay-Z's 'Family Feud' Video

June 2024 · 1 minute read

In the opening scenes of "Family Feud," actor Michael B. Jordan walks in on his character's sister, played by Westworld's Thandie Newton, in bed with a man. After the man, portrayed by Moonlight star Trevante Rhodes, kills Jordan's character, Newton's character stabs her lover, claiming, "It's not his. It's not yours. It's my throne." Pretty action-heavy, huh? 

While viewers were likely distracted by the characters' fighting, there's a pretty big Easter egg hiding in plain sight—the blue color scheme.

Blue is a particularly important color to Jay-Z and his wife, Beyoncé. After all, they did name their first-born daughter Blue Ivy. But the color means more to them than just their kiddo's name. In 2012, Beyoncé shared a passage from the 2005 novel A Field Guide to Getting Lost by Rebecca Solnit on her Tumblr page, explaining the significance of blue (via the Daily Mail). "The world is blue at its edges and in its depths. This blue is the light that got lost." As Solnit notes, this same light "gives us the beauty of the world."
