What’s with Beyonce allowing Jay-Z to screw around?
Jay-Z and Beyonce got hitched earlier this year in a top secret ceremony. For the past six+ years of their relationship, both megastars have kept mum about their affair -- that is until now. For the first time ever, Beyonce discusses her marriage to Joe Camel's twin brother:
“What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real,” Beyonce told Essence magazine in its November issue.
Albeit, she doesn't go into juicy details, but at least she
talked about it for once. What's the big freakin' secret, anyway?
Rumors have circulated for some time now about Jay’s blatant infidelity. In fact, he supposedly
fathered a child with model Shenelle Scott while he was dating B. Beyonce is allegedly aware of the $4000/month child support checks Jay forks over for this child, as well.
Beyonce seems like a really strong-minded woman. She’s gorgeous, classy, doesn’t seem to necessarily
need a guy for anything, but she’s in this relationship with Jay-Z who is pretty much known to not be the most faithful guy in the world.
She made $27 mil last year, to his $83 mil. Not to accuse her of gold-digging, because she certainly can have whatever she wants with her own money. But it seems to me that this was a relationship of convenience that turned into a marriage of convenience.
I don’t care about that “what we have is real” stuff. I guarantee if he was regular Shawn Carter with a regular 9-5, Beyonce would have thrown him a peace sign long ago and been out of there, if she even gave him the time of day in the first place.
Let’s face it: Jay-Z is not the best looking thing around, by far. While $27 million is a heck of a lot of cash, it surely doesn’t provide the lifestyle that $83 million does. And that’s doesn’t include the perks of the jets (which she wouldn’t be flying in without Jay) or the old school Rolls (which she would be driving in without Jay) or that
super-fat prenup payout (which she definitely wouldn’t be getting without Jay).
I’m most confused about her staying with him after he fathered this child during their relationship. Let me find out my boyfriend has cheated, much less fathered a love child with another woman. We’d be done so quickly, his head would spin. I just cannot understand why Beyonce would entertain and accept this nonsense.
A cheater is a cheater is a cheater. If he does it once, he’ll do it again. She let him get away with cheating
and having a kid on the side. Believe me, he will most definitely be slinging his hotdog around many a bun for years to come.
So again I raise the question: why would Beyonce, in all her fabulous glory, stay in this situation?
There’s the idea that she’s saving face. A “he’s mine, you may have had him once but I’ve got him all the time” kind of thing. But, Beyonce just seems like an “I don’t take anybody’s mess” kind of girl (“Independent Women”, anyone?), so I really don’t think that’s it.
Love, maybe? She just does not strike me as the type to accept such behavior. What happened to “to the left to the left”?
Ooooh wait…ok, I get it now. Perhaps that was a call to Jay to put that $5 million ring on her
left ring finger. We’ve apparently had it wrong all along.
