From NY Daily News
Expect Beyoncé to post a staged Instagram photo of herself and hubby Jay Z any minute now, because things between the couple have never been worse.
A close pal of the hip-hop power couple says Bey and Jay are being advised to play up their happy family act for the paparazzi and on social media, despite the collapse of their marriage. They will release a joint statement addressing the rumors in late September, once their current tour wraps, the friend says.
“Let’s leave it at it’s only a matter of time (until they split.) It’s so obvious now it’s embarrassing,” a source tells Confidenti@l. The duo are currently on the West Coast leg of their successful On the Run tour.
“Around the time the tour ends, they’ll make a choice on whether they want to separate or admit trouble.”
Another pal of the couple says they will finally address the problems because Jay is “so over it.”
“He wants this tour to end and he wants the rumors to stop,” says our second source.
Our first insider says the couple, who married in 2008 and had daughter Blue Ivy in 2012, are both impeccable performers who have been fooling their fans for two years now and that their relationship is “strictly business.”
And while Jay has told friends he wants out immediately, we’re told Beyoncé is fine with keeping the act up indefinitely.
“This (trouble) has been brewing longer than anyone knows,” says our first source. “They’re performers. And they’re good performers. It’s a business now, and they are business partners. And they don’t even fight. They know what it is.”
Their charade was working perfectly until May. That’s when leaked video showed Beyoncé’s sister, Solange Knowles, kicking and punching her brother-in-law in the Standard Hotel’s elevator following the Met Ball. Big sister Bey appeared to calmly watch the beat down.
But now, whispers of the relationship’s epic collapse are so loud that Bey and Jay have been reaching out separately to pals, complaining they’re unhappy because the energy of keeping up appearances offstage has become unbearable.
“They are both being advised on how to look like they’re together. A negative report comes out, or a breakup report comes out, and they are advised to post a picture with Blue Ivy,” says our second source.
So why stay together?
“Why do you think?” the source said. “Money. They will play the public as long as they can and get richer doing it.”
And while both the rapper and the singer are independently wealthy, they recognize the power they have together to pull in even more cash — and have choreographed On The Run with ample hugs, kisses and cuddles to appear like a solid married couple. Billboard has reported the tour can expect to gross close to $100 million before it ends its run.
"This is a classic case of damage control. Staged photos, tweets, it’s a business relationship,” says our well-placed insider. “They’re on tour and to get through the tour they have to put up a persona. It’s all spelled out. It’s more financially beneficial for them to continue the tour and the Instagrams and tweets while all this is happening. That’s how damage control works.”
The paparazzi folks are just using this couple to bake ginger bread ! The bug has become malignant, they should free them
ReplyDeleteWhy can't people just let these two be. Linda you sef no dey tire. I wonder what we'll gain by tearing a marriage apart. All these rumors are enough for both of them to start seeing faults in each other that they never noticed before. Pls you guys should leave Jay and Bey the fuck alone. Period. Atleast they're still together for now.

ReplyDeleteWhatever!they are human.shit happens!while I'm team kimye,lets all recognize that marriage isn't easy,most especially when the individuals involved are extremely powerful people.i wish them luck but better to split than to die there!
ReplyDeleteA straight guy will always cheat, even if he's married to a goddess like beyonce, SMH #gay anonymous#
ReplyDeleteFake goddess u mean... U know u can't fake it forever
DeleteDear beyonce I have some men suggestions, Dr. Dre, usher, orlando bloom, theo james, even mitchelle Rodriguez.
ReplyDeleteU no get work linda
ReplyDeleteSo sad, all ma girls, ciara, rihanna and beyonce all have bad taste in men.
ReplyDeleteAkuko ifo! Linda stop aiding these no do good people spread their fake stories! Seems like u ain't got game today.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise here> I had always said Beyonce was a narcissistic woman who would pretend that she was the best thing that ever came to earth and had it perfect in every facet of her life, and so everyone should "Bow Down." I still don't believe she physically gave birth to Blue Ivy. With money, she can stage anything just to keep her narcissistic self as the world's number and most perfect human being.
ReplyDeletePls shut up. Your reeking bitterness, hate and envy. self destructive combination.
DeleteFinally! You put into words my exact sentiments about Beyoncé from day one. Thank you! Was never a fan! #strollsaway

ReplyDeleteIf you ask me, I don't think Beyonce really lived Jay Z. I think she just married him for her career upgrade and of a truth Jay helped her career grow and I think the bubble has busted and they are done.
