After the media was frenzied over rumors about his much
anticipated wedding with Beyonce, Jay-Z preferred to keep silent again about the
matter, during his concert in North
Carolina on Saturday.
But Mary J. Blige, who was also performing on the “Heart of
the City” tour, couldn’t refrain from confirming something important had
happened in the life of the rapper and his longtime girlfriend Beyonce, People
magazine reports.
According to People, before starting to sing “You’re All I
Need,” Blige shouted out loud: "Congratulations to my man, Jay-Z, and my
girl B!”
Jay-Z did not comment on Blige’s words and referred to
Beyonce only once during the concert, but not regarding the wedding episode.
A close friend of the couple told People that the two had
married in a private ceremony, but neither Jay-Z nor his girlfriend confirmed
the rumors.
The rumors about a possible wedding started after the
couple, who have been together for six years, took out a wedding license valid
for 60 days, in Scarsdale
Village, New
York.
Since then, the media was sent into frenzy, with lots of
photographers and reporters gathering near Jay-Z’s penthouse in the Tribeca
area of New York,
where a white tent was erected on the roof in the day of the supposed wedding.
The couple apparently followed their intimate ceremony with
a big party where many famous guests were invited. Former members of Destiny’s Child,
Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, were present, and friend Gwyneth Paltrow
also showed up, accompanied by her husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin.
Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z have been a discreet couple since
they got together in 2002. Perhaps they would not even have made their romance
public, had it not been for their collaborations on Jay-Z’s song “’03 Bonnie
& Clyde” and Beyoncé’s solo hit “Crazy in Love,” in 2003, which sparked
rumors that their partnership was not solely musical.
