We Finally Understand Those Jay-Z Cheating Rumors

Publish date: 2024-05-09

The cheating rumors surrounding Jay-Z were finally put to rest in 2017 when he owned up to the act in an interview with The New York Times' T Magazine. Of course, anyone who listened to Lemonade or 4:44 already pretty much knew what went down, but the rapper didn't go into much detail about how he and Beyoncé were doing in the wake of the revelation until his 2018 interview on David Letterman's My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.

"I have a beautiful wife who's understanding and knew I'm not the worst of what I've done. We did the hard work of going to therapy and you know, we love each other, right?" Jay-Z said (via The Daily Beast). "Like you, I like to believe we're in a better place today, but we're still working and communicating and growing."

For what it's worth, the Carters have since made a comeback as an apparent united front, reclaiming the throne as hip hop's reigning king and queen with the surprise release of their collaborative album, Everything Is Love, in June 2018. If renting out the Louvre for their "Apes**t" music video wasn't an ode to them ruling over us civilians with their reported $1.225 billion net worth, then what was it? The married pair pulled in a whopping $250 million from their On The Run II tour that same year, proving they're all they "need in this life of sin."
