Weekend Wedding Bells Won't Ring for Beyoncé, Jay-Z
Jay-Z may have 99 problems, but keeping quiet a secret wedding ain't one.
A rep for Beyoncé Knowles, the recently unretired rapper's significant other for the better part of four years, has denied now-rampant rumors that the first couple of hip-hop are preparing to tie the knot in a hush-hush ceremony this weekend.
Or at least, what would have been a hush-hush ceremony, before gossip columnists and Internet sites got wind of the supposed news.
The "Irreplaceable" singer's spokesperson told Reuters that, as far as she knew, Beyoncé had no plans to become Mrs. Z (or legally, Mrs. Shawn Carter) either this weekend or at any date in the near future.
Though that's not to say a celebration of some sort won't be taking place.
The rumor traces back to the New York Post, which earlier this week had a gossip item claiming the 25-year-old Dreamgirl and her beau were using Hova's 37th birthday party as a smokescreen for secret nuptials.
According to the newspaper, the couple, along with friends, family and fellow record label execs, are all heading to St. Bart's this weekend for a four-day bash, in honor of Jay-Z's Dec. 4 birthday. The Post also reported that while abroad, the couple had plans to quietly ferry partygoers to Anguilla's Cap Juluca, a five-star resort the singer and Def Jam chieftan reportedly staked out earlier this year, to witness to the vow swap.
Turns out, the report may have been inaccurate on more than one count.
The New York Daily News reports that not only is a secret wedding not taking place, but the couple has already returned from their Caribbean jaunt. The bash actually took place last weekend, the paper claims, not this coming one.
If nothing else, reports of the down-low ceremony show just how fast the gossip tides can change.
Just last week, the Web was rampant with reports that the twosome had quietly separated, after Jay-Z fans with a little too much free time dissected the lyrics to one of the rapper's new tracks, "Lost One."
The track goes: "I don't think it's meant to be, B/ For she loves the work more than she does me/ And, honestly, at 23, I would probably love my work more than I did she/ So we ain't we, it's me and her." Based on those lyrics, enterprising fans spread the word that the power couple was kaput.
Never mind that Jay-Z's real-life "B" is actually 25.
As it is, even if the rumors of a secret wedding turned out to be true, the odd timing of the ceremony would make for a less than leisurely honeymoon. Beyoncé is due back in Los Angeles on Monday for the West Coast premiere of Dreamgirls.
In the meantime, there may be another bash on the horizon.
Both Beyoncé and Jay-Z added to their Grammy nominations Thursday, with the former Destiny's Child frontwoman nabbing solo nods for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, for "Ring the Alarm," and Best Contemporary R&B album, for B'Day, as well as a joint nod with her rapper beau for their collaboration on "Déjà Vu."
