Jay Z stated the hardest thing was seeing pain on your loved one’s face and then having to deal with it.

Jay-Z opens up about his infidelity in a candid interview, admitting to cheating on Beyoncé and the pain it caused.
Jay-Z, the hip-hop mogul known for his bravado, admitted to infidelity in his marriage to Beyoncé, causing a buzz in tinsel town. In an exclusive interview with Dean Baquet for The New York Times, Jay-Z admitted to cheating on his wife Beyoncé while they were still married, blaming it on 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood issues. The rapper had a passionate 35-minute interview about his song, The Story of OJ from his album 4:44, followed by his marriage and other topics.

 

In a heartbroken and remorseful tone, he stated, “The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you have caused and then having to deal with yourself.” He goes on to explain his coping strategy and how hard he struggled to save his relationship with Beyoncé, empathising with her pain.

The Renegade singer even intimated that he and his wife might have split up forever because of the remorse and pain he felt after cheating on her. However, after numerous rounds of therapy and a persistent attempt to improve his marriage, the two overcome the battle and remain one of the most incredible power couples in the entertainment industry.

“You know, most people walk away, and, like, divorce rate is like 50% or something ’cause most people can’t see themselves.” Jay-Z’s most recent album, 4:44, alludes to his unfaithfulness. He said: “Look, I apologize/Often womanize/Took for my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 to be 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 to see through a woman’s eyes.”

Beyonce too sang about “Becky with good hair” on her album Lemonade a year before the release of 4:44.”He only want me when I’m not there/He better call Becky with the good hair.”

The rapper and Beyonce had intended to collaborate on an album, but instead chose to release individual records. “We were using our art almost like a therapy session. And we started making music together. And then the music she was making at that time was further along. “So, her album came out as opposed to the joint album that we were working on.”
