Jay-Z & Beyonce Taking Eachother's Last Names...

Rumor has it Beyoncé and Jay-Z are taking each other’s last names in an effort to carry on the Knowles family name.

The couple are to take on both of their surnames in order to keep Beyoncé’s parental line from dying out.

Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, would be known as Shawn Knowles-Carter, while Beyoncé would become Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.

Jay-Z, Nas & 50 Cent To Collab????

Rumor is going around that a remix to Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" might feature verses from Nas and 50 Cent. Apparently, someone leaked information after eavesdropping on a conversation at a New York Giant's office. This would be bizarre on several levels, most specifically because 50 has never squashed his beefs with Nas and Jay -- who once had an ongoing beef of their own that was settled years ago.

Hmm..I'll keep you posted!

Jay-Z Addresses Devil Worshiper Rumors...

Remember a few days ago I posted an article asking the question if Jay-Z was a devil worshiper? It may seem far fetched but some are claiming he may just be! Click here for that report.

Now Jay-Z has spoke on the allegations. He took it straight to a preacher that made these claims. (watch the preacher's claims here!)

Jay: “He should be arrested, seriously. My position is not unlike anyone else who ascends to the top of their field. That comes with the game. But that’s crazy. That might be the craziest one I’ve had.”

Host: “But do you go to church?”

Jay: “Nah, I’m more spiritual than [having] organized religion. I have a personal relationship with God. …I believe in karma, I believe in cause and effect…but religion, I have my opinions about religion."


WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THIS???

I attached a few videos below I found on the topic so you can get a better understanding as to why others have been saying this about Jay-Z and others for years...



An in depth look at the very disturbing truth behind some of mainstream music's most 'popular' celebrities and their occult practices.

Jay-Z & Jaguar Team Up For Next Video.

Jaguar announced at the LA Auto Show that the 2011 XJ luxury sedan will be featured in JAY-Z's next video featuring Swizz beatz, "On to the Next One," from his The Blueprint 3 album. Jaguar showed a 60-second trailer chronicling the XJ's role in the video at their Los Angeles Jaguar XJ launch party at Milk Studios Los Angeles.

"JAY-Z is an icon who has blazed an unprecedented path through music, fashion, business and sports; making his video "On To The Next One" the absolutely right vehicle for the all-new 2011 Jaguar XJ to make its global entertainment industry debut," said Mike O' Driscoll, Managing Director of Jaguar Cars. "Just as the concept of the video speaks to success and the birth of new ideas, all-new XJ is a breakthrough luxury automobile that we designed to elevate the luxury car experience and create a new automotive icon for style and indulgence."

The 2011 Jaguar XJ will go on sale in North America in April 2010.

Jay-Z Worships Satan?! [VIDEO ALLEGATIONS INCLUDED]

It's funny how perception does a full tailspin as a person becomes progressively famous. As an artist continues to get the embrace of the mainstream, especially those in Hip Hop , questions begin to arise as to how they were able to claim that success and there is even speculation that is business being dealt with evils.

Check out this article: Since “D'Evils,” Jay-Z has been heavily scrutinized by many that feel as though he looks at himself as God and as a member of a secret society that is trying to usher in a new world order.
Churches have been the venue for preachers to find “hidden message” within his music such as “Luficer” where he allegedly proclaims, ‘Murder, murder, Jesus, Jesus.

The most recent attack is from a young youth pastor that made the claim that “Empire State of Mind” was telling people that they cannot depend on Jesus to save them.

Even the visual for “Run This Town” was interpreted by some as his imagery for the world once a new order is finally established, if it's not already in the process.

50 Cent recently spoke with Rolling Stone and made the statement that Jay-Z only looks for his own best interests and has a mentality as though he's above everyone else.
“He has a king complex, he thinks he's fucking Jesus, you know what I mean? This J-Hova shit."

Usually known for his subliminal shots instead of attacking a problem head on, the rapper has finally taken the direct approach to the latest to make the statement that he goes against God.

Back in 2006, hoping to finally dead the allegation, the rapper conducted an interview with radio host Egypt on New York's Power 105.1 to address the allegations that have been made against him.

At the time, a man known as Craig Lewis of EX Ministries developed a DVD titled, The Truth Behind Hip Hop, labeling Jay as a culprit in working with the devil.

“He should be arrested, seriously. My position is not unlike anyone else who ascends to the top of their field. That comes with the game. But that's crazy. That might be the craziest one I've had.”

Although not a man to find his way into the church to praise, he adds that he still maintains a relationship with God no matter what his particular opinion is on religion.
“Nah, I'm more spiritual that [having] organized religion. I have a personal relationship with God…I believe in karma, I believe in cause and effect…but religion, I have my opinions about religion.”

From throwing up the diamond signs, “symbolizing” pyramids to secret handshakes between himself and Nas to rumors of him being a Freemason, the rapper has been the poster child to what some would perceive as being a hidden evil consuming the Hip Hop world.

People feeling that he has the ability to fire Charlamagne Tha God and keep Chris Brown from performing are all indications of the fact that some look at Hov as having the power to have complete control over what goes on in music.

Jay-Z doesn't stand alone as being under fire of devil worship as rappers such as Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Bone Thugs and DMX have allegedly negotiated with the force of darkness in order to make it in the music world.

Religion, an aspect of life meant to instill some sense of hope and a desire for a better life has been heavily misconstrued as time had progressed. How can a person find belief in something when others are so quick to shun the idea of individual beliefs and opinions?

Condemning an artist's success to embracing evil is what causes such a separation throughout the country and the world.

Lack of understanding and an unwillingness to comprehend difference is a weak trait to have an feed to others.

Jay-Z Sues Alabama Restaurant For Playing His Song!

Rapper Jay-Z is suing Spot of Tea in Downtown Mobile, Alabama. It's part of a larger suit by Universal Music Group against small businesses around the country.

According to a federal lawsuit obtained by News 5 in Mobile, Jay-Z and five other plaintiffs are suing the restaurant for illegally playing their music.

The suit says that owner Tony Moore doesn't have the right to play their songs in his restaurant or the nightclub around back called Club Insanity.

The Jay-Z song in question was reportedly played in August. It's called "Umbrella" and is performed by Rihanna and Jay-Z

Moore says he is licensed and doesn't appreciate how his restaurant is being portrayed. "I've been in business for 15 years and I've gained an impeccable reputation. I pay my bills. I'm not a rogue business person that's trying to come in under the radar and perform a business operation without a permit."

A reporter asked, "Is it possible that you did play a couple of songs you weren't licensed to play?"

Moore responded, "I don't know if that's possible or not because they program it."

Moore is considering a counter lawsuit for defamation of character. The lawsuit is asking for $30,000 in damages.

Beanie Sigel Calls Rift With Jay-Z 'A Defining Moment'

"I couldn't tell you that," he said of his ultimate plan. "I'd be defeating the purpose on what I was doing if I tell people what's my strategy, what my plan is gonna be. But then again, I could tell you what's my strategy, my plans, because you can't stop it. It was willed already. This moment right here is a defining moment. ... What I'm about to do is set a timeline to show people in my music where this at. This is not nothing new. Now it's time to go back to those albums that people overlooked or didn't get an opportunity to really grasp and hold on to 'em because there was that wall in front of it. And when I go back and start to pick out the music like, 'When I said this, this what I was talking about,' for this moment that's here today right now."

Jay-Z's 40/40 Club Under Police Investigation.

TMZ Warning: This video contains graphic and violent images. Viewer discretion is advised.



Jay-Z's The 40/40 Club in Atlantic City is under investigation after a video surfaced showing several hulking bouncers brutally attacking two male patrons in the club parking lot over the weekend.



In the footage, captured by DJ Zeke, roughly ten men wearing "security" and "event staff" shirts gang up and repeatedly beat the two men -- who can barely defend themselves against the ruthless mob.

Cops say charges will be filed against several bouncers -- and they are currently reviewing the tape to identify the men involved in the attack.

But get this -- the two victims were arrested after the beatdown and charged with disorderly conduct because security told cops they had acted inappropriately inside the club.

The two men claimed they did nothing wrong inside or outside of the club. The tape seems to back their story.

A rep for the club tells TMZ: "We can't comment on the fight. We are doing our own investigation in addition to the police investigation. It's really in the hands of the police at this point. The 40/40 club has never had anything like this happen before and we take the safety of our patrons seriously."

Beyonce & Jay-Z Ready To Have A Baby?!

While chatting up Gotham mag editor in chief Cristina Greeven Cuomo, jay-Z let it slip that procreating is high on the duo's priority list right now.

That's big news from hip hop's sneakiest couple, who wed secretly on a Tribeca rooftop and rarely even wear their own wedding rings in public.

It's also a change in attitude for Beyoncé, who admitted on "The View" in April that while she was interested in motherhood, she was in no hurry to hit the birthing room after seeing the process upclose when her sister Solange did it.

"I definitely want one, but I'm not ready for all of that," she said then. "I don't think a person should see that before her time. It was a little much. But I'm so in love with my nephew, and every time I see him I'm like, God, he's just amazing."

50 Cent and Beanie Sigel Respond to Jay-Z's Diss Response [Audio]

Beanie Sigel joined 50 Cent on a radio interview in Philly to talk about Jay-Z's recent statements about how he pushed Beanie Sigel the appropriate amount, which Beans claimed is false. Beans says that Jay saying that he gave him two Bentleys was a lie; Beanie had to pay the lease on them. He also says that the clothing line he "owned" was just a 20% cut on State Property clothes and the same for his record label. The bigger bomb Beans throws is that 50 tried to lure Beans away from Rocafella when the label was falling apart, but Jay stood in the way, even after 50 offered at least $800,000 for his contract.

OH LORD! Hope Beanie planning on dropping an album asap with all these drama he trying to stir up!
