Beyonce Skips Party With Jay-Z, Nas Over Baby Rumors?

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Beyonce’s baby announcement last year August at the MTV VMAs allowed millions to witness her husband Jay-Z overcome with joy – it was a beautiful moment. But there won’t be a repeat of that excitement at least not this year despite repeated rumors of Beyonce expecting baby no. 2.

The baby rumors began when the Love on Top singer was photographed on a date with her husband at the D’Usse Cognac launch party at La Marina Restaurant Bar Beach Lounge Sunday night in NYC. The photo of the singer in a skintight leopard dress could leave some to believe Beyonce was pregnant again. But one photo didn’t tell the whole story. Before additional photos showing Blue Ivy’s mom drinking cognac could surface the pregnant rumors had spread like wildfire. Anyone caught in public was then harassed for an exclusive on the pregnancy news. First the 31-year old singer’s mom Tina Knowles denied the rumors,

“It’s gonna happen when it’s time, but not right now.”

If that wasn’t clear enough, Jay-Z was available at the NBA 2k13 release party at his club 40/40 to answer questions. A party the pop star may have skipped due to the rumors. (see photo to the right).

When asked if Beyonce was due in nine months he answered, “Absolutely not.”

For further clarity Jay added, “No. Not in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine months.”

No fret for those who care, baby Blue Ivy will have a sibling sometime in the near future and this is from Beyonce herself, “I definitely want to have [more children]! I don’t know how many. God knows I don’t know yet.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
