Beyonce and Jay-Z Release Joint Album, Nearly Destroy the Internet
Welp.
This is one way to distract the public from an alleged affair with LeBron James.
On Saturday afternoon, Beyonce and Jay-Z stunned the music universe by releasing a joint album as a rather significant complement to their ongoing “On the Run II Tour.”
Titled “Everything Is Love,” the album was released exclusively Tidal and announced by Beyonce via Instagram.
The announcement footage features the two artists at the Louvre museum in Paris, including shots of them standing in front of the Mona Lisa painting while donning pink and mint suits … as well as glimpses of dancers performing in skin-colored tights and crop tops.
Two performers appear on the cover of the Everything Is Love album.
But this is not even all:
On top of the album drop, Bey and Jay also released a music video for the record’s debut single, “Apes**t.”
The video was filmed on location last month in this same iconic museum, a Tidal rep tells E! News…
… and here it is!
Within three hours of Beyonce confirming this album, her announced has received over 1.2 million Likes on Instagram.
While the Internet went bonkers with the news, Beyonce and Jay-Z were performing in London Stadium, where onlookers have reported the same announcement was made on a big screen behind the singers.
Beyonce and Jay-Z have been together for a decade.
They are parents to three children, including a set of twins, and have overcome at least one Jay-Z cheating scandal.
The global superstars actually renewed their vows in June, aiming to prove to the world that their love could withstand this sort of infidelity and obstacle.
As always, however, the artists have remained mostly close-lipped about their relationship, preferring to let the occasional family photo or mysterious quote do the talking.
That, or a surprise album and music video drop of course.
Beyonce sings and raps in the song “Apes**t,” whose lyrics make a rather clear reference to her marital challenges. To wit:
I can’t believe we made it/This is why we’re thankful.
Jay-Z and Beyonce have collaborated on other tracks in the past — but never on a full album.
The former told the New York Times in 2017 that the pair both “using our art almost like a therapy session,” which helps explains Beyonce’s legendary Lemonade alum and his 4:44 album.
As we said, the record is available on Tidal and its track listing is as follows:
1. Summer
2. Apes
3. Boss
4. Nice
5. 713
6. Friends
7. Heard About Us
8. Black Effect
9. Lovehappy

Jay-Z: I"m a Better Person After Cheating on Beyonce
Like most of America, we’re all still reeling with the knowledge that someone bit Beyonce … and reveling in the mystery of who it might have been.
But long before someone tried to start the Beyhive version of the apocalypse, someone else wronged Beyonce. Her husband, Jay-Z, famously cheated on her.
In a brand new interview, he’s opening up about the work that he put in to try to make things right.
Netflix has a series titled My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.
David Letterman hosts it. One such guest who needs no introduction is Jay-Z. Even if he weren’t the most famous rapper in the world, his wife is a pop singer who is so widely revered that she’s almost been deified.
Letterman’s own affairs are almost as notorious as Jay-Z’s.
While Letterman didn’t write a confessional album about his adultery and while he also didn’t have his sister-in-law clean his clock in a famous elevator video, he was known for having affairs with members of his own staff.
He opens with that, and mentioning that he feels that he’s a better person now after going through all of that.
Which Letterman then uses to segue into his question to Jay-Z, asking if that “rings a bell.”
It does, Jay-Z more or less says.
“I want to have the emotional tools that it takes to keep my family together.”
That’s a very intelligent way of phrasing that.
“And much like you, I have a beautiful wife who’s understanding and knew I’m not the worst of what I’ve done.”
Well, let’s not go comparing Beyonce’s beauty to that of other women. Pretty sure that several Greek tragedies start that way.
“We did the hard work of going to therapy and you know, we love each other, right?”
Therapy can work wonders, for individuals and for couples. Just because it’s not for everyone doesn’t mean that it’s not helpful for most people.
“So we really put in the work.”
Jay-Z continues his answer, speaking of his relationship with his wife.
“Like you, I like to believe we’re in a better place today.”
That’s wonderful to hear.
But he says that he and Beyonce are “still working and communicating and growing.”
Marriage’s challenges evolve with time, which is why relationships that once worked beautifully can fall apart over time.
In some ways, it almost sounds like Jay-Z is saying that he’s a better person than he’d have been if he hadn’t cheated on Beyonce.
(But that sounds like a chicken-and-egg situation, since surely a worse Jay-Z would have still cheated)
It’s not just that Jay-Z doesn’t want to lose his wife. He doesn’t want to fracture his family, which now includes three children, over something like meaningless sex.
He risked all of that, and spoke about it pretty directly in his confessional album, 4:44.
Jay-Z does agree with Letterman’s sentiment, saying that he feels like a better person now.
He says that he is “proud of the father and the husband that I am today because of all the work that was done.”
That’s wonderful.
On a slight pivot, Jay-Z talks about his troubled relationship with Kanye West.
“That’s my brother. We’re beyond friends.”
Does that mean that the feud between Jay-Z and Kanye is over? Not necessarily.
“And, like your little brother, things happen sometimes.”
He then asks Letterman if he has any siblings and if they’ve ever had a falling out, to which Letterman replies: “I’ll let you know when it’s over.”
“Exactly!” Jay-Z says. “It’s exactly like that. That’s your sibling forever.”
That’s very illuminating. And, among celebrity feuds, very unique.
