Not Surprisingly, Jay Z Wasn’t Surprised By The Content Of ‘Lemonade’
On Lemonade, Beyoncé shared some stark allusions to her marriage and Jay Z‘s alleged infidelity, to the point that in the immediate aftermath of its premiere, people were wondering whether Jay even had advance notice of the project’s lyrical bombs. But not only did he get an advance listen, he reportedly signed off on every song.
