The rumors and controversies surrounding Beyoncé and Jay-Z have once again made headlines, this time involving none other than Wendy Williams, the outspoken daytime TV host known for her unfiltered opinions. Wendy has never shied away from controversy, and her latest comments have added fuel to the ongoing speculations about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s relationship. From accusations of control to claims of drug use, Wendy and other celebrities have hinted that all may not be as it seems behind the power couple’s glamorous image.
Let’s start with Wendy’s past critiques of Beyoncé.
Back in 2012, during one of her infamous “Hot Topics” segments, Wendy didn’t hold back when she referred to Beyoncé as unintelligent, stating she had the equivalent of a fifth-grade education. Wendy claimed that while she enjoyed Beyoncé’s music, she found it difficult to understand her without subtitles, implying a lack of eloquence in the superstar.
Fast forward to 2016, and Beyoncé released her critically acclaimed album Lemonade, which touched on personal issues like Jay-Z’s rumored infidelity. Wendy wasn’t buying it. During her show, she suggested that the drama surrounding Beyoncé’s album and its references to Jay-Z’s cheating might have been a publicity stunt. Wendy even implied that Rachel Roy, the woman rumored to be involved with Jay-Z, was paid to stir up controversy for the album’s sales.
Things took a darker turn when former bodyguard Uncle Ron came forward with damning allegations against the couple. He claimed that Beyoncé is under Jay-Z’s control and has been kept on drugs for years to maintain her status. According to Uncle Ron, Jay-Z and Beyoncé will go to any lengths to maintain their dominance in the entertainment industry, including silencing those who speak out against them.
Uncle Ron’s claims weren’t the only ones raising eyebrows. Rapper 50 Cent also weighed in, suggesting that Jay-Z uses people, including Beyoncé, to boost his career, and discards them when they’re no longer useful. He recounted an incident where Beyoncé seemed ready to confront him when he visited Jay-Z, suggesting that even Beyoncé is under Jay-Z’s influence.
