Proud dad Jay-Z celebrated the arrival of his little girl this week at the relaunch party for his New York nightclub 40/40.  

The 42-year-old singer, whose wife Beyoncé Knowles, 30, gave birth to baby Blue Ivy on 7 January, impressed guests with a lavish bash.

'It was a bit OTT but he's mad about his daughter,' a source tells the Daily Mirror.

'There's nothing he wouldn't do for her. You'd expect nothing less from the richest man in rap.' 

The Blue-themed party reportedly featured a champagne tower made from 350 gold bottles worth £300 each and piles of food including buffalo wings with 'Blue Ivy' cheese sauce.

Mum Beyoncé, who appears to have stayed at home with the baby, recently revealed that Jay-Z would be happy to get stuck in to his fatherly duties.

He will change diapers, of course,' says Beyoncé, 30.

'He is going to be a very hands-on father.'
