14 DAY TRIAL // Either Beyonce is having one heck of a laugh at our expense with all these cheating / divorce rumors, or she’s finally starting to speak up on them. Either way, she might have just admitted that husband Jay Z cheated on her during the Ohio stop on her and his On the Run Tour.
The tour kicked off last week and, so far, it’s already made worldwide headlines for a variety of things, including Beyonce’s apparently skimpy outfits (which are really not so, it’s just a trick on the eye) and the fact that Justin Bieber’s mugshot was displayed on the big screen, while the diva said something along the lines of “even the greatest can fall.”
Meanwhile, the tabs have been speculating on whether Jay and Bey share accommodations seeing how their marriage is (reportedly) over, concluding that they must travel separately and that the only time they’re actually together is when they share the stage to perform.
They would have backed out of doing the tour altogether if that had been a real possibility because, you see, this way, things are very difficult for them. Or so say those ever-present and all-knowing “unnamed insiders.”
The other night in Ohio, Beyonce took to the stage in wedding attire (meaning a white outfit and a bridal veil), sat on a chair, and performed an older track of hers on the topic of cheating called “Resentment.” The song isn’t about the actual cheating but about learning to pick up and continue with your life after you find out that your partner has been unfaithful.
It includes words like “I tried and I tried to forget this./ But I'm too damn full of resentment./ I know she was attractive but I was here first.”
However, Beyonce changed something to the words, making them more applicable to her and Jay’s situation.
“I’ll always remember feeling like I was no good / Like I couldn’t do it for you like your mistress could,” she sang, before adding “Been ridin’ with you for twelve years.” The original line said “been ridin’ with you for six years” and, incidentally, 12 years is how long she and Jay have been together.
“Look what you've done-done to me now,/ I gotta look at her in her eyes and see she's had half of me,/ she ain't even half of me,” Beyonce continued.
Several media outlets, including The Mirror, are positive this is Beyonce’s not too subtle way of admitting that she and Jay are having problems because he stepped out on her and she found out about it.
If you ask us, Beyonce is too smart to be washing her dirty laundry in public like that. She’s always known how to play the media, which means that she definitely knows what everybody is saying about the cheating and the impending divorce. So she’s playing into that and, this way, boosting interest in the tour. It’s all business, baby.
Check out the version of “Resentment” from On the Run Tour and the original one, which Beyonce performed in 2010, below. You be the judge.
