Gossip & Rumors
Jay-Z: Three's a Crowd

With rumors swirling on blogs that the hip-hop mogul Jay-Z has been acting a little too cozy with newcomer Rihanna, it definitely comes as a surprise to see the duo eating dinner along with Jay's leading lady, Beyoncé Knowles. The women appear to have settled any riff between them as they were photographed leaving Bar Pitti in New York separately last night. But take a look at Jay-Z's face ... he looks a lot less enthusiastic about the evening.



Gossip about the impresario and the Barbados babe has been making the rounds since he signed the unknown to his record label, Def Jam. With hits like "S.O.S." and the aptly titled "Unfaithful," Rihanna is on the rise -- but our money's on Beyoncé if these two ever throw down.

47. Jay-z would never cheat on Beyonce with Rhianna. She could never be Beyonce, nor take B's place. Jay has the baddest b****. Why would he ever mess that up?So those other cats in the industry could snatch her. Yeah right!!

48. BEYONCE BLASTS RIHANNA IN RING THE ALARM

****EXCLUSIVE****

August 10. Radio stations around the country are buzzing about Beyonce's latest single Ring The Alarm. But MediaTakeOut.com analyzed the song's lyrics and discovered that Beyonce appears to be sending a message to her rival Rihanna - to stay away from Jay Z.

A few months ago MediaTakeOut.com first reported that Beyonce was uncomfortable with the amount of time Jay Z was spending with Rihanna. Since then, both Beyonce and Rihanna have gone out of their way to publicly deny feuding over the Def Jam president. But in Beyonce's latest single, she explicitly warns the teenage diva to steer clear of her man.

In Ring the Alarm Beyonce sings about struggling with a cheating boyfriend. But Beyonce quickly turns her anger from her cheating boyfriend to the other woman. In the first recorded use of foul language by Beyonce, she sings "She's sold half a million - Gold, She don't love [you] - that sh@$ I know." Both of Rihanna's albums were certified gold (500,000 copies) in the U.S. - falling short of Beyonce's multi-platinum status.

And this isn't the first time that Beyonce has used music to lash out against her rivals. After the very public break up of Destiny's Child, Beyonce (then a member of Destiny's Child) released the hit song Survivor - attacking her former group members. Among the lyrics were, "You thought that I'd be broke without you, but I'm richer" and "You thought I wouldn't sell without you, I sold 9 million."

Below are the lyrics to Ring the Alarm.

Ring the alarm
I've been doin' this too long
But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm

Won't you ring the alarm
I've been doin' this too long
But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm

[chorus]
She gon' be rocking chinchilla coats
if I let you go
In the house up the coast
if I let you go
She gon' take everything I own
if I let you go

I can't let you go
Damn if I let you go

She gon' rock the VVS stones
if I let you go
In the 'Bach or the Rolls
if I let you go
She gon' pocket everything I don't
if I let you go

I can't let you go
Damn if I let you go
[chorus]

Tell me how should I feel
When I know what I know
And my female intuition
Telling me you a dog
People told me bout the flames
I couldn't see through the smoke
When I need answers, accusations
What you mean you gone choke?

Oh. You can't stay you gotta go,
And your other chick spending your do'
This is taking a toll
The way the story unfolds
Not the picture perfect movie everyone would assume

[chorus]

Ring the alarm
I've been doin' this too long
But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm

Won't you ring the alarm
I've been doin' this too long
But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm

Tell me how should I feel
When you made me belong
And the thought of you just touching her
Is what I hate most
I don't want you but I want it and I can't let it go
To know you give it to her like you gave it to me, come on

She's sold half a million - Gold
She don't love [you] - that sh@# I know
I done put in a call
Time to ring the alarm
Cause you ain't never seen a fire like the one I'm gone cause

[chorus]

How can you look at me
And not see all the things that I kept only just for you
Why would you risk it baby, is that the price I done paid
Cause this is my show and I won't let you go
All its been paid for, and it's mine
How could you look at me
And not see all the things

[chorus]

49. All of yall need to get a life,saying that one looks better then the other. Who Cares.If Jay-z is cheating on Beyonce thats his business.Everyone keeps saying that Rhianna wants to look like Beyonce. Plzzz ...If pay attention you would know that they are trying to mirror her career to Beyonces. Im sure thats why she is spending so much time around Jay. He made an investment and he wants to make sure it pays off. Yall need to just grow up and stay out of ppls business,Jay-z Beyonce or Rhianna aint paying none of your bills or putting food in your mouth so why do you care. Ppl with no lives make rumors and the ones that get online and say mean worthless things are just as bad.
Grown Up!!!

51. Rumors are just rumors. Theres no beef between them, at least from Rihanna's side.

As for Rihanna not being as good as Beyonce.... Rihanna is 7 years younger than her. Give her some time to grow and progress. For her to be her competition already says alot. Beyonce wishes she was platinum at 18. They are both talented and anyone that has heard their music will know they have completely different styles.
