Our relationship wasn’t built on 100% truth – Jay Z talks marriage with Beyonce

Coming after he revealed that he cheated on his wife, Beyonce, on his latest album ‘4:44’ which went platinum in one week, 47-year-old rapper, Jay Z, has admitted that his marriage to his wife wasn’t built on 100% truth.

According to Jay Z who has been married to Beyonce for 9 years, the ‘hardest thing’ he’s ever had to do is facing up to potential difficulties in his union and trying to work them out.

He said:

‘This is my real life. I just ran into this place and we built this big, beautiful mansion of a relationship that wasn’t totally built on the 100 per cent truth and it starts cracking.

‘Things start happening that the public can see. Then we had to get to a point of, “OK, tear this down and let’s start from the beginning … It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”‘


‘I was on a boat, and I had the best time. I was like, “Man, this is great.” Then she had to leave. I was, like, crushed. “Man, I don’t even feel like this. What is happening to my body right now? I don’t even feel like this. Did I just say… Don’t leave?”‘

He however insisted that the key to their union is honesty.
