 <\/p>\n

The rapper’s past indiscretions have been the subject of much public scrutiny. Several women, in and out of entertainment, have allegedly gotten in between his marriage to the “Single Ladies” singer.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Jay-Z’s unfaithfulness to Beyonc\u00e9 has been a major part of their story. Over the years, there have been many rumors and accusations, and four women in particular were mentioned by name. Let’s find out who they are and the tough journey the singer and rapper have taken together as they went from power couple to power family.<\/p>\n

His Relationship with Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z started dating back in 2002 and are still together to this day. They’ve always been private people and were good at keeping their relationship out of the spotlight, even though they’re incredibly famous.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

They were together for six years before marrying on April 4th, 2008. Their wedding ceremony at the rapper’s Tribeca penthouse was\u00a0kept private<\/u><\/a>. Only close friends and family were in attendance, and a guest\u00a0described<\/a>\u00a0the event as deeply moving and spiritual.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite this, Jay-Z didn’t want to tell anyone they had tied the knot. Three days after the wedding, he\u00a0brushed off<\/a>\u00a0someone’s congratulations with a laugh, pretending he didn’t know what the person was talking about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, Beyonc\u00e9 wore a huge diamond ring to Jay-Z’s show in Atlanta a few days after their secret wedding, which became one of the first\u00a0public confirmations<\/a> of their marriage. Eventually, the cat was out of the bag, and the couple’s deep connection was made evident through their music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unfortunately, as their fame and careers grew, controversies and scandals about their relationship emerged. Rumors about Jay-Z’s alleged infidelities, sometimes with other famous women, and his lifestyle, which included frequent partying, put a serious strain on their marriage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

First Rumored Mistress: Claudia Scheelen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In November 2013, the affair allegations named someone specifically. The Mirror reported that the rapper had been\u00a0seen partying<\/u><\/a>\u00a0with the model, now retail manager, Claudia Scheelen in Antwerp. The pair was spotted together at Magic nightclub, where he reportedly bought a massive bottle of Ace of Spades champagne worth \u00a35,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The outlet also added that Jay-Z\u00a0told Scheelen<\/a>\u00a0that the women in Antwerp were the most beautiful he’d seen anywhere in the world. However, Scheelen later denied any romantic involvement with the rapper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On social media, she\u00a0wrote<\/u><\/a>, “I was shocked when I saw my name mentioned in an article about Jay Z! The tabloids have used me as a topic for something that didn’t happen!” Despite this denial, the stories of trouble in paradise between this power couple would only worsen the following year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In May 2014, the public was shocked when a video surfaced showing Solange, Beyonc\u00e9’s sister, attacking Jay-Z in an elevator following the Met Gala.\u00a0The footage<\/u><\/a>, leaked by TMZ, showed Solange angrily kicking and swinging at the rapper while Beyonc\u00e9 stood by.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The incident quickly went viral, and in\u00a0a joint statement<\/u><\/a>, the trio explained that the incident was a private family matter. “Families have problems and we’re no different,” they\u00a0said<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jay-Z and Solange both acknowledged their roles in the altercation and apologized to each other. Additionally, the trio made it clear that they had\u00a0moved on<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and were united. In fact, the rapper and Beyonc\u00e9 even went on their “On the Run” tour together two months later. However, it was around this time, that another alleged affair happened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Second Rumored Mistress: Casey Cohen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In June 2014, the rapper was reportedly linked to reality TV star Casey Cohen by tabloids. However, Cohen, who appeared on\u00a0“<\/i>Princesses: Long Island,<\/i>” quickly\u00a0denied the allegations<\/u><\/a>. She even hired a lawyer who sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding a public apology and retraction of the articles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cohen admitted to having met Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00e9 several times but insisted that their interactions were\u00a0purely professional<\/u><\/a>. These encounters were related to her work as a VIP hostess in New York City. Unfortunately, one person’s word wasn’t enough to stop rumors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Only a month later, more speculation suggested that Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00e9’s marriage was ending. A source close to the couple claimed that they were\u00a0considering separating<\/u><\/a>, although they had not yet decided to divorce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Divorce for them would’ve been trickier at the time as they received money from promoters for their “On the Run” tour upfront.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The same source also stated that the couple was seen\u00a0without<\/a> their wedding rings, despite thinking that their relationship would be fixed after having a child. However, there was no official separation. Instead, they battled their feelings through music<\/p>\n

His Wife Releases a Controversial Song<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In 2016, Beyonc\u00e9 released “Lemonade,” an album filled with powerful and emotional tracks, many of which seemed to address the rumored infidelities in her marriage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One of the album’s most infamous lines comes from the song “Sorry,” in which Beyonc\u00e9\u00a0sings<\/u><\/a>, “He only want me when I’m not there, He better call Becky with the good hair.” Fans and the media noticed these words immediately and wondered who “Becky” could be. Two women in particular were highlighted at this time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Third Rumored Mistress: Rachel Roy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

One of the people\u00a0alleged to be “Becky”<\/a>\u00a0was fashion designer Rachel Roy. She had previously been linked to the couple in media reports and only made things worse after uploading a\u00a0now-deleted post<\/a>\u00a0on social media. Roy\u00a0wrote<\/a>, “Good hair don’t care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. Live in the light #nodramaqueens.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Naturally, many thought she was referencing the song, and the backlash from Beyonc\u00e9’s fans turned red-hot. One user\u00a0wrote<\/u><\/a>, “Rachel Roy just became the most hated woman in the world.<\/i>“<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Faced with the growing online firestorm, the fashion designer\u00a0addressed<\/u><\/a>\u00a0the situation on Twitter. In a now-deleted X, she\u00a0wrote<\/a>, “I respect love, marriages, families, and strength. What shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Beyonc\u00e9 has never named anyone as “Becky” since the release of the song, but the speculation continued to swirl. One other woman was linked to the rapper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fourth Rumored Mistress: Rita Ora<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Rita Ora, a British singer who had signed with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label, also became a target of the “Becky” controversy. This happened because she wore a pin with the words “Not Becky” at the Met Ball after-party in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

During an interview with Vanity Fair later that year, Ora denied any involvement with Jay-Z and explained that the “Not Becky” pin was\u00a0a gift<\/u><\/a>\u00a0from Katy Perry. The singer also talked about the huge amount of respect she has for Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Jay Z is my inspiration and one of my idols\u2014lyrically, musically, business-wise. I still look up to him and his wife every day. Beyonc\u00e9 was one of my biggest idols growing up,” she\u00a0expressed<\/u><\/a>. And despite everything that’s happened, the rapper and the “Crazy In Love” singer are still together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

His Marriage Survives<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

This power couple is still married to this day, but what’s more, their relationship has thrived since 2016. In February 2017, Beyonc\u00e9 announced that she was\u00a0expecting twins<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Later that year, Jay-Z released his album “4:44,” where he openly asked for forgiveness for his wrongdoings and acknowledged the hurt he had caused. In the eponymous song, the rapper\u00a0said<\/u><\/a>, “I apologize to all the women whom I toyed with your emotions, ‘Cause I was emotionless.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That same year, he was interviewed by Dean Baquet for The New York Times. During\u00a0this conversation<\/a>, Jay-Z opened up about the emotional toll of his actions and how they affected his marriage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Most people walk away\u2026 the hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself,” he\u00a0shared<\/u><\/a>. “[…] And so you walk away.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ultimately, the couple didn’t split, and things seemingly settled between them, at least publicly. In 2018, they even released a\u00a0joint album<\/u><\/a>, “Everything Is Love,” under the artist name, The Carters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Furthermore, in 2022,\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9\u00a0<\/a>released “Renaissance” and\u00a0dedicated the project<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to her family and husband, which seemed to show their united front. One of the songs in the album, titled “Plastic Off the Sofa,”\u00a0says<\/u><\/a>, “And I know nobody’s perfect, so I’ll let you be, I’ll let you be.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Yet, their experiences will always be part of their lives and music. In 2024, Jay-Z’s wife ventured into country music and created her version of “Jolene,” originally sung by\u00a0Dolly Parton<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The lyrics\u00a0say<\/u><\/a>, “You’re beautiful beyond compare, takes more than beauty and seductive stares, to come between a family and a happy man. […] I raised that man, I raised his kids, I know my man better than he knows himself.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Whether this is a reference to the past or something new, no one knows. The fact remains that the couple has held strong despite the rumors, hardships, and being under public scrutiny. They’re raising their three kids together and still producing great music. In fact, their eldest daughter is now a rising star.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On December 26, 2024, Beyonc\u00e9’s Christmas Day Halftime Show became a family affair when Blue Ivy Carter made\u00a0a standout appearance<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

During the NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans, streamed on Netflix, the singer delivered a nearly 13-minute performance featuring songs from her latest album, “Cowboy Carter.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Her now-13-year-old child joined her on stage for “My House” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.” Their performance was a lively spectacle, featuring a marching band and a coordinated routine with a group of performers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Blue Ivy’s outfit<\/u><\/a> matched Beyonc\u00e9’s dazzling Western theme with a white corset, pants with fringe lining, heeled boots, and a diamond necklace. She also sported a red-white-and-blue sash reading “Cowboy Carter.” Meanwhile, the singer wore a silver-studded bodysuit, fringe-trimmed chaps, and sparkling sequined boots. Both completed their looks with white cowboy hats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Though the moment reflected the bond between Beyonc\u00e9 and Blue Ivy, Jay-Z’s absence from the performance didn’t go unnoticed. But the entire family was seen days earlier at the premiere of Disney’s “Mufasa,” presenting a united front and reaffirming their status as major figures in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
