UNBELIEVABLE: Jay-Z Finally Admits Cheating On Beyonce!

Rumors were rife for years regarding Jay-Z's potential infidelities. It started in 2013 when footage of Solange Knowles' post-Met Ball physical outburst at the music mogul became less than private. The leaked elevator CCTV footage appeared to show Beyoncé's sister deliver a dropkick to Jay-Z's stomach whilst Mrs. Carter looked on, decidedly emotionless.

Lemonade, a visual album, released as a one hour film corroborating its twelve tracks, would appear to provide a concrete confessional to Jay-Z's infidelities. The album reads explicitly as Beyoncé's progress through the discovery, detonation, and aftermath of an extramarital affair, the film divided into chapters entitled 'Intuition', 'Denial', 'Anger', 'Forgiveness' and 'Redemption'.

JAY-Z seemingly fessed up on his album 4:44, released in June. He apologized to Beyoncé, telling Becky with the good hair to leave him alone. "Yeah, I'll fuck up a good thing if you let me/ Let me alone, Becky/ A man that don't take care his family can't be rich.

Lemonade doesn't look good from the start. The title of the first track, 'Pray You Catch Me', alludes not to marital support but being caught red-handed. 'Hold Up' is then accompanied by footage of Beyoncé trotting gleefully down a street armed with a baseball bat to the despair of cars, shop windows and, tellingly, CCTV cameras.

In 'Don't Hurt Yourself' Bey warns her subject that "You know I gave you life, if you try that shit again, you going to lose your wife." We even get a tantalizing name drop in the fourth track: things get personal in 'Sorry' when Beyoncé advises her man that he "better call Becky with the good hair."

Jay-Z's dulcet tones are notably absent from the album, a first for the rapper whose vocals have been featured on every one of Beyoncé's solo albums until now. His only mention is a mute appearance featured in the visual snippet that accompanies 'Sandcastles', Beyoncé's "Forgiveness" track.

Lemonade is an allegorical allusion to Beyoncé's coping strategy. The film features a clip of her grandmother's speech at her 90th birthday in which Hattie explains: "I was served lemons but I made lemonade." The story of Beyoncé's sixth album is that of her making better of her sub-par situation.

This isn't a sexy album. For double entendres on peaches and eating skittles, you'll have to reminisce in 2013. Lemonade is an exploration of the imperfect life of a globally lauded "perfect woman", an excruciatingly honest catharsis through which Beyoncé preaches strength in adversity.


As for our thoughts on Jay-Z even considering anything other than a life of faithfulness with GQ's Hottest Woman of the 21st Century? Sort it out, mate.

What's your thoughts people, the Lion King Queen and King can still fly on or they should look into Mr. Carter’s dreads for hideous stuff? Tell me about it all in the comment box below.
