This story has been messy from the beginning!
Just to catch you up real quick..Back in 2005 rumors spread like wildfire that Beyonce and Jay-Z were on the outs for almost a year because, Hov was secretly dating his hot new pop star Rihanna. Author J. Randy Taraborelli, has now dug up this old drama for his brand new tell all book Becoming Beyonce, which details that the rumor was all a publicity stunt but still got under Queen Bey’s skin, hence the spilt.
While Beyonce fans await the arrival of the book, the publicist, Jonathan Hay, who claims to have thought up the rumor has fessed up for his actions and since apologized hoping that his past won’t effect projects he has in the works with Hov’s music streaming service TIDAL.
That would be all well and good, if Rihanna even knew Mr. Hay. According to RiRi’s reps she never even met the man! Check out the statement from Rihanna’s camp below.
An attorney representing Rihanna stated to Us Weekly:
“Mr. Hay never represented Ms. Fenty, and never had (and does not now have) any personal or professional relationship with Ms. Fenty. In fact, Ms. Fenty has never met Mr. Hay…references to Mr. Hay as formerly representing Ms. Fenty in any capacity are false.”
