Beyoncé and her husband are upset.
The world’s richest rapper and his wife are furious with singer Jaguar Wright for “harming more victims than tycoon Diddy”.
According to TMZ , Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been heavily criticized online after rumors spread that they were involved in Diddy’s shocking sexual allegations. In the past, many images showed that the world’s richest rapper and his wife had a close relationship, often partying with Diddy.
Following the events, journalist Piers Morgan conducted an interview with singer Jaguar Wright on the show Uncensored . In it, Wright criticized Beyoncé and her husband as “monsters” and “a nasty duo”. She claimed that Jay-Z had relationships with Diddy and others, accusing both Jay-Z and Beyoncé of “harming more victims than the rap mogul”.
The interview has angered Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Alex Spiro, the couple’s lawyer, has demanded that Piers Morgan immediately remove the content. Spiro said Morgan capitalized on the rumors by allowing vague, false accusations to air. The lawyer demanded that the MC apologize or face legal action.
“Alex Spiro criticized Piers Morgan as an irresponsible journalist who not only harmed Jay-Z’s family but also drowned out the voices of real victims,” TMZ quoted Sprio’s statement.
After Beyoncé’s side expressed tension, Morgan cut the controversial content from the original interview and apologized to the singer and her husband.
He also explained why he invited Jaguar Wright to the interview: “She has made a series of statements against Diddy over the years. Those statements have received a lot of attention in the media, on different platforms. In the modern world, everyone uses their platform to say what other people want to hear. That’s why we invited her to come in for an interview.”
Before the Piers Morgan scandal, Mirror reported that Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s posts were flooded with harassing, aggressive comments, and boycott calls. One comment read: “Disappointing to see Beyoncé appear with Diddy.” From there, the number of followers on the superstar couple’s Instagram accounts also dropped rapidly. Beyoncé alone lost millions of followers overnight.
