Rapper shoots down reports in new interview, Beyonce is still mum on the topic

Jay-Z rarely talks about his personal life in promotional interviews but, the other day, he did just that, shooting down reports that he and Beyonce are expecting their second child together, it has emerged.

For the past few days, there’s been a lot of speculation that Beyonce is pregnant again, prompted mostly by photos of her in concert apparently sporting a baby bump.

She also canceled one of her shows citing dehydration and exhaustion, an excuse often used by celebrities at those time when they don’t actually want to offer the real reason for a cancelation.

If you thought these might be clear signs that Beyonce is with child, think again.

“According to Hot 97, Jay-Z has denied reports that he and Beyonce are expecting a second child. The New York radio station reported this morning that Jay, responding to a congratulatory e-mail, wrote back: ‘It’s not true. The news is worse than blogs.’ Blue Ivy’s sibling might not be on the way just yet, after all,” Spin magazine writes.

It also argues that, if Beyonce really isn’t pregnant, she could have at least said so outright on social media (she does have over 4 million followers on Twitter) and not encourage speculation by beating around the bush about it.

Just the other day, for instance, Beyonce posted a picture message on her Instagram, lashing out at the tabloids but not exactly denying the pregnancy rumors.

As we also reported at the time, she removed the post shortly afterwards.

“I can't stop the rumors from starting, and I can't really change peoples minds who believe them, all I can do is sit back and laugh at these low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me,” the picture message said.

And, with this, speculation continues.
