ICE Prince Zamani, one of Nigeria’s finest rappers, in a recent interview, expressed his delight at meeting with super star rapper,
Jay Z. He said it was a very big moment for him which was made possible by Bria Biggs.
“It was a big time of my life, we took pictures at the Roc Nation Office, in Times Square, New York and also in Jay Z’s office,” said the Chocolate City artiste.
The singer, early this year, released an EP titled Trash Can.
JAY Z has reportedly bought Beyonce a Game of Thrones Dragon Egg prop. Actress Emilia Clarke, who stars in the TV series as the Khaleesi or ‘Mother of Dragons’ gave fellow entertainment royalty, Beyonce and Jay Z a shout-out during an interview for the most recent Harper’s Bazaar cover story when she suggested the couple may possess a prized prop from the Game of Thrones; one of three of Khaleesi’s dragon eggs.
“Apparently Jay Z bought one for Beyoncé, or something,” she laughed. “I don’t know.”
However, the ‘Mother of Dragons’ herself doesn’t even have one of the eggs, because, in her words, they are really, really, really expensive and they are really heavy and serious works of art.
Beyonce and Jay Z aren’t the only celebrity power couple on Clarke’s mind. Later in the article, the irreverent actress played out an awards season encounter with Channing and Jenna Dewan-Tatum.
“I was at a Golden Globes after-party and Channing Tatum came up to me, and his stunning missus, Jenna. And they said, ‘We call each other “moon of my life” and “my sun and stars” and all that.’ And I was like, ‘I cannot contain this. Please, can we all have something sexual together? You’re both beautiful, even just a hug.’”
Along with continuing to play Daenerys in Game of Thrones, Clarke will also star as Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genisys, set for July 1.
For celebrity couple, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, there is no better way to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary than a romantic new song from the former, exclusively for the latter.
Titled Die With You, the Beyoncé’s song is a straight-up love song to her man. It had such emotional laden lines like, “I wake up just to sleep with you. I open my eyes so I can see with you. And I live so I can die with you,” she sings in a home-made clip that shows them in a personal moment.
The new video is exclusively on the music streaming service Tidal, that they just happen to be heavily involved in.
Jay Z, 45, launched Tidal on Monday along with 16 artiste stakeholders, including his wife, Rihanna, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Jason Aldean, Madonna, Coldplay and others.
This wedding anniversary gift to Jay Z, has been praised by fans of both artistes who just moved to Los Angeles with little daughter, Blue Ivy.
Meanwhile, there have been backlashes over the remix of the Destiny’s Child singer’s Jealous, which features troubled singer, Chris Brown.
The Jealous remix made its way online on Thursday, April 2. And although Beyonce, 33, is yet to comment on the leaked song, she is facing significant backlash from those who take issue with her working with Brown.
The former Destiny’s Child singer used her Beyonce album to declare herself as a feminist, even using audio from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s TED talk about feminism in her hit single, Flawless. But knowing Brown for what many described as women molestation, especially having left former girlfriend, Rihanna, with gruesome bruises after a domestic violence incident, many saw the move of aligning with the singer as standing in direct conflict to Beyonce’s feminist values.
“I never thought Beyonce could disappoint me – until she collaborated with Chris Brown,” a fan tweeted of Beyonce.
”I was really hoping the Beyoncé + Chris Brown collaboration was an April fool’s joke,” said another. “Let me get this straight….Beyoncé, a claimed feminist, made a remix with a man who beats a woman…okay,” said yet another.
Singing couple, Jay Z and Beyonce who moved to Los Angeles, recently have not been able to find the perfect L.A home they desire to buy.
However, report says they haggled their way into a rental for $150K a month.
The couple who are said to have enrolled their daughter Blue Ivy, into a school in the Hollywood hub, are said to be familiar with the crib in ritzy Holmby Hills – it’s the same one they rented last summer on a short term lease – but real estate sources say they just locked it down for a full year.
We are told the power couple’s been itching to move out of the Beverly Hills area hotel where they’ve been living while house hunting – so they decided to go back to their old digs.
The rented apartment, a 7-bedroom, 9-bathroom and an infinity pool with a waterfall, is said to be on a 16,000 sq. ft. land.
It will be recalled that Jay Z and Beyonce paid $200,000/month for the pad last year, but were able to knock off $50,000/month, having dealt directly with the owner this time.
After losing a choice estate to a higher bidder in Los Angeles, singing couple – Beyonce and Jay Z – remain resolute with their decision to relocate to the Hollywood city. Although they are yet to get another place, they are currently living in a hotel in Beverly Hills, and have enrolled their daughter, Blue Ivy, in school, while looking for an estate to buy on the Westside of L.A.
Reports say they have already discreetly looked at a number of homes, but so far, none fit the bill. However, the tuition for three-year-old Ivy, for a toddler program at an elite private school is put at $15,080 a year.
In their determination to move, Ivy was admitted halfway through the school year, which is unusual, as the school generally accepts students at the beginning of the school year.
As for why they are moving, sources connected with the couple say they want “a change in lifestyle.” It will be recalled that Bey and Jay spent the summer in a $200K a month rental, near Beverly Hills.
There are indications they will keep their New York home.
The couple lost their first choice to a former Minecraft mastermind, Markus Persson, who swooped in andsealed the deal for $70M.
A lawsuit has been filed against Beyonce, Jay Z and Timbaland over the hit track “Drunk in Love,” New York Daily News reports.
The plaintiff Hungarian performer, Monika Miczura also known as Mitsou, filed the suit on Friday, claiming the Grammy-nominated single illegally used her vocals. Mitsou is seeking unspecified damages and demands distribution of “Drunk in Love” cease.
Mitsou claims that the a cappella first heard in the beginning of “Drunk in Love” was sampled from her 1995 song “Bajba, Bajba Pelem” and then digitally manipulated. According to the suit, these lifted vocals compromise 29 percent of the track.
“Mitsou’s incredible voice is widely considered unique and ethereal, and since the 1990’s, she has been in high demand for countless international collaborations as a featured guest singer,” the lawsuit contends.
Beyonce is no stranger to accusations of copyright infringement. In 2012, she was accused of plagiarizing the video for “Countdown” from a Belgian choreographer.

Amidst all the intense divorce speculations, a New York Post report suggests that Beyoncé and Jay Z may not complete their On the Run tour, slated to run through mid-September due to the relationship problems that seemed to be the talk of the town since the famous Elevator-gate scandal with Solange.
According to The New York Post last Saturday, Live Nation, concert promoter, HBO, and at least four lawyers attended an emergency meeting Thursday to address the marriage issues between the couple as there is around $100 million at stake if it comes to an end.
Even though the concert executives wanted to release a statement, this was not possible as Beyoncé & Jay Z couldn’t agree on the wording.
According to the report Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino and HBO chief Richard Plepler wanted the meeting before “this becomes a public-relations nightmare. Rapino is pissed that everything is so out in the open and things are so heated,” the source said.
Apparently, things have reached such a low between Beyoncé & Jay Z that, while on tour, they are residing in different hotel rooms: “They’re not just staying in different hotel rooms, but they have booked separate hotels, and they arrive separately to each show,” the source claims.
Even though Jay’s “controlling ways” are the source of the blame for the conflict, the source said he doesn’t want Bey playing the victim, as he feels he is justified:
“They’ve had discussions lately about the inevitable sit-down interview when they finally do split, and Jay’s been adamant that he doesn’t want Beyoncé sitting down with Barbara Walters or Oprah Winfrey pretending to be the victim,” the source said.
If Beyoncé and Jay Z will eventually come clean and release an official statement, they have to consider the huge amount of money at stake before any announcement.
The ‘Case of the Ex’ singer chalked up reports that she has been secretly dating the ’99 Problems’ rapper to ‘illegitimate, thirsty sources with no facts.’
‘I play second to no one,’ Mya (left) wrote on Instagram Wednesday after a fan asked whether she is having an affair with Beyoncé’s husband, Jay Z.
“Never did, never was, never will,” the pop star said about her rumored affair with the “99 Problems” rapper, after she was asked about the gossip on Instagram.
“Heard you and Jay Z had an 11-year affair,” the fan wrote Thursday. “Are you his side chick or nah?”
A recent blind item suggested Beyoncé’s husband has been secretly dating – and financially supporting – Mya for years. The “Case of the Ex” singer strongly refuted these claims.
After the notorious elevator fight between Solange Knowles and brother in law Jay Z, that caused a huge buzz on social media, blogs and websites world over, Solange is said to have a 233 percent increase in record sales.
Early this month, surveillance footage sold to TMZ, shows R and B singer lashing out at the rapper brother in law in the elevator at The Standard Hotel following New York’s Met Gala. Beyonce is also seen in the surveillance footage standing aloof.
According to Nielsen SoundScan data, Solange’s digital sales are currently at 2,000 downloads from 600 the previous week.
The trio have since spoken out about the video, stating that they have “worked through” the drama.
American singer and actress, Beyoncé Knowles has made her first public statement since the leaked elevator security footage of her husband and sister fighting came out last week.
This is also the first that has been heard from Solange, Beyonce’s sister and Jay Z, her husband as the family trio issued this joint statement to The Associated Press:
“As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it.
“ Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.
“ The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same, ” the trio said.
The fight between Solange and Jay Z reportedly broke out after the former accused Jay Z of assaulting Beyonce.
