The world’s foremost power couple’s search for a Los Angeles mansion continues unabated; after Jay-Z and Beyonce lost a bidding war for a Beverly Hill mansion to designer extraordinaire, Tom Ford.
Ford’s final $50m bid just edged out the Queen Bey and the Roc Nation head’s $49m offer, TMZ reports.
Ever since these two powerhouses got married, they have been dogged with rumours of their inevitable split. Each time, the couple have soldiered on.
There have long been rumours that they sometimes orchestrate the stories themselves, generally to drive up sales of a particular project they’re embarking on.
Beyonce released a new album out of nowhere over the weekend, ‘Lemonade’, which got everyone talking again about the divorce rumours surrounding her marriage that never goes away.
The 12 track album, which she released in just as surprising a fashion as her last album, streamed on HBO, and was later made exclusively available on Tidal- the streaming service owned by her husband Jay-Z.
Rita Ora recently sued Jay Z and his label, Roc Nation, to be released from her contract to the company- but it seems like the rap mogul is not going down without a fight.
Roc Nation has filed a counter suit in California superior court, suing the singer for $2.3m. The company claims the singer failed to honour parts of her contractual obligations.
Rap mogul and business entrepreneur Jay-Z is set to take some grief from his former business partners, with perfume company Parlux fragrances getting ready to sue him.
Parlux partnered with Jay for the Gold Jay Z line of fragrance, which was released in 2013. The partnership called for publicity efforts from the rapper to put it across to the public, but he failed to keep up his end of the bargain.
Rita Ora signed to Roc Nation as a burgeoning 18 year old, and has since grown into a veritable force in the industry. However, she now wants to branch out on her own from the legend who brought her up.
Ora signed onto Roc Nation in 2008, but wants to leave the label now, a new lawsuit has revealed. Ora claims her interests are not being served by being on the label anymore, as the company has moved into several other ventures, leaving her feeling marginalised.
In the pop world there is a very short list of artistes bigger than Rihanna. So I would term this a great deal.
After over seven months of intense negotiations, Samsung has closed a deal for Barbadian pop star Robyn Rihanna Fenty, to promote their galaxy line of products.
The recently released book ‘Becoming Beyoncé: The Untold Story‘, claimed that a publicist who used to work for the then 17 year old Rihanna leaked rumours of an affair to generate publicity for her first single ‘Pon De Replay’.
The entire thing became so serious, the book claims, that Beyonce and Jay-Z split up for a year.
Companies sometimes get sued by a group of people who have a common complaint- but it’s not every day that the plaintiffs are five music icons with unlimited pockets and probably killer legal teams.
The list of musicians suing ElevenParis read like a collaboration that everyone would like to see on one song, not behind the witness box.
Being music’s premiere power couple doesn’t exclude the occasional setback, and Beyonce and Jay Z have a real estate problem to deal with right now.
The pair have been renting a 16,000 estate in Holmby Hills, after trying in vain to get a place to buy. However, the mansion has been sold to someone else so they have 60 days to evacuate.
Jay_Z continues to expand his business interests to complement his legendary rap career, adding his first client from the world’s biggest sport.
Roc Nation Sport has signed the Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng, half brother of our own crazy star Kevin Prince Boateng.
Jay Z’s company Tidal dropped Lil Wayne’s The Free Weezy Album on July 4th, and now Birdman and his Cash Money crew are suing Jay Z to the tune of $50 million for illegally streaming the songs.
In a newly filed lawsuit, Jay Z and Tidal are engaging in “a desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service” by using Wayne’s music.

Over the weekend rapper Lil-Wayne shouted on stage “I just signed a deal with my motherf–king idol, Jay Z,” at KMEL Summer Jam 2015.
With 51 million lawsuit brought by Wayne against his hip hop father-Birdman of Cash Money Records and the many disagreement with the label which he has in the past shared on twitter hovering around, people took the above announcement to mean, ‘Lil Wayne has signed with Jay Z’s Roc Nation label’.
But it’s far from that….
Lil Wayne’s manager-Cortez Bryant told Billboard that, it’s not a record label signing but rather Lil Wayne was referring to his involvement with Tidal, Jay Z’s music subscription service.
Beyonce and Jay Z were photographed on their way to a dinner date on Friday evening (May 29) in New York City. The supercouple were beaming when they arrived at Mexican restaurant Corner Deli in rare casual outfits. As always, Beyonce was a ravishing sight — donning long-sleeved blouse with skin-tight jeans trousers which accentuates … Read more
