How Beyoncé and JAY-Z met and became lovers

Around 2000, after Destiny’s Child won their first Grammy trophy, discord began to emerge within the team, which eventually led to team members going solo one after another. During this period, media hype put Beyonce under tremendous pressure. To make matters worse, her boyfriend of seven years also left her at this time, which made her extremely depressed. Beyonce later admitted that she locked herself in her room and refused to eat. Images of the internal quarrels at Destiny’s Child resurfaced in her mind, and she began to wonder who her true friends were. Now she is a queen-level superstar - who would truly love herself instead of being greedy for her fame and wealth? During this special period, Beyonce's love and care from her mother allowed her to gradually regain her confidence in life, and after that, her happiness was already waiting for her in the near future.

Ever since they collaborated with Jay-Z on "'03 Bonnie & Clyde", there have been endless rumors of their relationship. In fact, the editors of entertainment tabloids are quite certain that Jay-Z is interested in Beyonce. As early as 1998, there were these lyrics in Jay-Z's "Lobster & Scrimp": "She said, 'You're stressin me now,' / said, 'No No No,' then, 'Yea yea yea' like she Destiny's Child. ”

If Jay-Z has been paying attention to Beyonce since the Destiny's Child era, then when Beyonce went solo, Jay-Z personally took action to fully protect her. He has performed twice on Beyonce's solo album, and all the singles they collaborated on topped the Billboard singles chart. By 2005, there were even rumors that the two were getting married, and Beyonce had to personally refute the rumors. Two years later, the two appeared together at the home court of the NBA's New Jersey Nets, and then flew to Cannes, France for vacation, causing a complete "commotion" in the media.

In April 2008, the two got married secretly in New York, but the normally low-key couple never showed their wedding rings to the public. It wasn't until September that Beyonce's family showed the wedding video of the two to the audience on a big screen at the Fashion Rock concert.

As one of the most outstanding businessmen in the Hip-Hop industry, Jay-Z has always been in the top three of Forbes' Hip-Hop gold medal list, and Beyonce is no less generous than her husband. She has been a spokesperson for Pepsi-Cola since 2002. The following year, her advertising expanded to include skin care products. L'Oreal spent 7 figures to sign an advertising endorsement contract with her. The fashion giant Amarni launched a unique brand of perfume with her as the core. Her income reached 80 million US dollars in 2007-2008. In the recently released Forbes rankings, she and her husband Jay-Z ranked as the richest celebrity couple in Hollywood with a total income of 162 million, becoming a veritable "new money-grabbing couple."
