They may have collaborated numerous times over the years, but it looks like the relationship between Kanye West and Jay Z is on very thin ice right now.

In a classic Kanye move, the Life of Pablo rapper told an audience in Seattle this week that the 99 Problems singer has avoided contact with him and his wife in recent weeks.

Referring to Kim's ordeal in Paris, Kanye expressed disbelief that Jay Z hadn't made an effort to check in with him following the high-profile incident.

"Don’t call me, after the robbery, and say ‘how you feelin?'” Kanye ranted from the stage.

“You wanna know how I’m feelin'? Come by the house." Kanye raged. "Bring the kids by the house. Like we’re brothers. Let’s sit down."

Revealing more than most audience members may have expected, Kanye revealed that his family is nowhere near as close to Jay and Bey's as people might think.

“I can’t take this sh*t bro. Our kids have never even played together.” the rapper added.

Unfortunately for Kanye, it doesn't look like he and Jay Z are going to grow closer any time soon as a source close to the Empire State of Mind rapper revealed that Jay has no time for 'Ye.

“Jay can’t stand him,” they said. “He looks at him as this crazy, eccentric motherf*cker he can tolerate in small doses.”

Well, that's that then.

It’s official: There has never before been a party thrown on this planet that we would rather have been invited to than Beyoncé’s 35th.

Last night at a star-studded event in New York the Lemonade creator let loose as she partied like there was no tomorrow in full 70s glamour surrounded by Jay Z, Blue Ivy and their impressive team of celebrity friends.

Footage from the party not only shows Bey and Jay grinding in full costume on the dancefloor, but also catches their four-year-old daughter wishing her famous mother a happy birthday before swiping a sneaky taste of the cake.

 

Naturally enough Bey looked incredible as she danced in a revealing one-legged jumpsuit, while her husband of eight years got in on the themed action with afro-style hair, a silk head scarf and rounded shades.

The singer’s sister Solage wore a long green leather coat over a short peach dress, while Queen B’s former band mate Kelly Rowland – who recently admitted to getting Beyoncé diamonds for her birthday – stunned in a plunging metallic jumpsuit.

According to the Mail Online, Alicia Keys, Serena Williams, Jourdan Dunn and Usher were all among the party’s guests.

 

Yesterday the songstress used Instagram to thank her friends, family and fans for their love and support on her special day.

Alongside a GIF of her dancing in a printed dress, Beyoncé wrote: “I just want to say thank you to everyone for all the beautiful and thoughtful birthday wishes.” 

“I am so fortunate to have the love and support of my family, my friends, and my hive.  We’ve grown up together and you guys continue to inspire and motivate me everyday.”

 

 

 Happy Birthday Beyoncé!

“I’m so grateful for every challenge, every smile, every tear, every discovery, every sacrifice, every triumph, every stretch mark, every kiss, every scar,” she continued.

“I strive to make you proud.  I love YOOOUUUU!”

It’s a good thing the singer has been ordered to go on vocal rest, as after that do she could hardly have a voice left!

From generating a newfound obsession with lemon-based drinks to riding a jet ski in a designer jumpsuit, if anyone has made 2016 their own it has to be Beyoncé. 

And while Lemonade was released way back in April, it seems both the groundbreaking visual album and its creator are not done surprising us just yet as Queen B has now shared almost 50 behind-the-scenes photos from the album which pretty much launched a manhunt for “Becky with the good hair”.

On Saturday Beyoncé marked National Lemonade Day – yes, that’s a thing – with the impressive collection of images which range from her running across mattresses in that now famous yellow dress to more intimate photos like those of Jay Z playing with Blue Ivy.

Naturally the pics have created a stir online with one Twitter user writing: “Beyoncé’s behind the scenes pics of the making of Lemonade should be in a special museum devoted to joy & excellence.”

While another said: “Beyoncé’s behind the scenes photos of Lemonade added 5 years to my life expectancy.”

We’re sure avid Lemonade fans will be searching these pics for clues about the meaning behind Sasha Fierce’s most cryptic performance yet.

If you have a partner and are fond of the odd selfie or outfit shot, then you'll know all about dragging your other half around to snap the perfect picture.

They probably hate it, but they love you, so they do it.

However, in a photo recently uploaded onto Beyoncé's website, it appears that Jay is the one dragging Bey around.

In the snap, Beyoncé is standing in a lift, wearing a pretty turquoise dress, but nobody is focusing on her – they're all zooming in on her hubby.

The rapper looks like he's actually taking a selfie of himself and Bey is just getting in the way.

And of course, Twitter just couldn't handle it:

Hilarious.

Beyoncé and Jay Z are two of the world's hardest working musicians in the business, and as a result of their efforts, the pair have nabbed the number one spot on the 2016 Forbes celebrity couple list.

The Carter's managed to rake in a whopping €97 million in the last 12 months, allowing them to claim the throne as the world's highest earning celebrity couple.

Queen Bey made a cool €49 million this year by playing 19 shows in the past 12 months, and releasing her successful new album, Lemonade

“I’ve never met anyone that works harder than me in my industry,” the songstress once told Forbes.

Jay Z has not released music in three years, but has been busy with a number of other ventures.

The award winning rapper makes millions on his Armand de Brignac champagne, D’Ussé cognac and entertainment company Roc Nation, along with his streaming service Tidal and his 40/40 nightclub in New York City.

Last year's top earning couple was the musical duo Taylor Swift, and ex-boyfriend, and hugely successful DJ, Calvin Harris. 

Had these two music moguls remained an item, they would have been listed as the highest earning celebrity couple in the world, ahead of Beyoncé and Jay Z.

All the rumours and controversy from Beyonce's new album Lemonade had nearly passed us – until now, because Jay Z just made reference to in it a new freestyle rap.

The rapper created a remix to Fat Joe's song All The Way Up, which is streaming exclusively on Tidal right now (Why can't they just put it up on Youtube like the old days, huh?)

The track also features Remy Ma and French Montana, but the most exciting bit is Jay's lyrics:

"You know you made it when the fact/ Your marriage made it is worth millions/ Lemonade is a popular drink and it still is survival of the littlest."

He also made a reference to Prince:

"Prince left his masters where they safe and sound/ We never gonna let the elevator take him down," referencing the fact that the singer died in an elevator.

It seems that Jay really needs to get a lot off his chest. Have a listen to the track here:

Last week, Rachel Roy was the subject of numerous rumours following the release of Beyonce's new album, Lemonade.

Many speculated that she was 'Becky with the good hair' after she shared a picture on Instagram with "good hair, don't care" in the caption.

But now, she's facing further media intrusion after it has been revealed that her email account was hacked.

According to Page Six, Rachel told her friends that personal information from her computer was stolen in a security breach and ALL of her emails might become public.

"She has no idea how they've been swiped but is aware how much harm they can cause," a friend of Rachel's told the site.

"From a personal level, she wanted to distance herself from the furore after initially playing up to the link as Jay Z's rumoured other woman. But now she fears the spotlight will be well and truly back on her, Jay Z, and Beyoncé if these conversations end up online."

If there's some emails from Jay Z, we can see another celebrity showdown coming soon.

Just this week it was reported that Jay Z was in the middle of recording a response album to Beyonce's Lemonade, but now, Billboard has discovered that Jay and Bey nearly released a full-length album together.

According to Billboard, the album came about while the couple were touring for On The Run in 2014.

An insider says they "nearly finished" the probably-amazing album when their label allegedly stopped the project from moving forward.

However, a rep from Sony Records told the website that that simply wasn't the case, and the label is very "open to" it.

Hmmm, we're not sure who is telling the fibs here but before you hold a wake for the album that never was, there still might be hope of it being released.

The source said that the album will probably be released in the near future, after the hype from Lemonade cools down. Yes!

If this album does see the light of day soon, we'll be very happy campers.

Beyonce's Lemonade has made the headlines all week long, mainly because it sparks so many questions about Jay Z's infidelity.

Did he really cheat? Who IS Becky? Why are they not wearing their wedding rings anymore?

But now, a source close to the couple told Us Weekly that the rapper is hitting the studio to make an album of his own.

“Jay is working on an album telling his side of things," the insider explained.

Bey's 60-minute art film addressed long-standing rumours of Jay Z's cheating with lyrics like “This is your final warning / You know I give you life / If you try this s‑‑t again / You gon’ lose your wife."

“The album says it all. It explains how she and Jay got through their problems. The good outweighed the bad, so she gave him a second chance.”

If Jay does create a new comeback album, we're sure it's going to be a great one and maybe we'll finally find out who this Becky REALLY is.

Beyonce has been making WAVES this past week with many people speculating whether her marriage to Jay Z is in trouble or not.

The lyrics from her new album seem to suggest that he cheated on her (perhaps numerous times) with many people thinking it was either with Rita Ora or Rachel Roy.

Both women have cleared up on social media that the rumours are nonsense, but Bey's fans were still holding grudges.

Then, Beyonce began her Formation World Tour, and on the second night, decided to pay a tribute to her hubby while singing her anthem Halo.

However, now pictures have emerged from behind-the-scenes of her Marlins Park Stadium gig – and something quite obvious is missing from the couple's photos.

Their wedding rings.

The revelation is likely to re-ignite the rumours that their marriage is on the rocks – but we're just so confused by the whole thing.

Beyonce is a notoriously private person so we're guessing only time will tell with this one.

Lemonade has been the biggest topic of conversation this weekend. Did Queen Bey write the album about her husband? Did Jay Z really cheat on her? And if so, is he CRAZY?!

At first, the blame was promptly put on Rachel Roy from the Food Network, but now fans are starting to believe that Bey's song Sorry is about one blonde British popstar.

Some theorists are beginning to believe that 'Becky with the good hair' is now Rita Ora. Oooh…

Fans flocked to social media last night to accuse the singer of causing trouble between Bey and Jay, and it was one very specific picture that sparked all of the rumours.

A few days ago, Rita shared a photo on Snapchat of her wearing a yellow bra with lemons in the middle.

But, the thing that really sparked the rumours was the fact that she was also wearing a necklace with the letter 'J'.

While her undergarment seemed to be a novelty item at first, it was the necklace that set tongues wagging.

In the past few hours, Rita's IG has been flooded with insults, along with bee and lemon emojis.

However, Rita has blasted rumours of cheating with Jay Z in the past so whether it's true or not, we'll have to wait to find out.

John Carney's newest offering Sing Street is already generating a huge Irish buzz ahead of its release this week, but it's been making waves on the other side of the pond too.

The film, set in 1980s Dublin and telling the story of an awkward teen (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) who starts his own band to impress a girl (Lucy Boynton), has been doing the international film festival circuit over the last few months – and it happened to catch the eye of one very famous rapper.

After seeing Sing Street over in the US, hip-hop legend Jay-Z was apparently so impressed that he personally made contact with Carney.

"John [Carney] got an email from Jay-Z to say he loved the movie," 16-year-old Walsh-Peelo told the Irish Independent this week.

And it seems Bey's husband wasn't the only musician who was impressed with the film, which features tunes from bands like Duran Duran, The Cure and Spandau Ballet.

"[At the premiere] Sting was sitting next to me… apparently he loved the movie," Walsh-Peelo added.

Sing Street doesn't get its official cinema release here until March 17, but it was the opening film for last month's Jameson Dublin Film Festival, and it received a massive standing ovation at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah back in January.

"It’s kind of a memoir of my days in school, and a school band back in the Eighties in Dublin," says Carney.
