By the time this photo was taken, Jay Z was a married man. The pic was snapped while Jay was on his way to his reception at his bi-level apartment in Manhattan after marrying his longtime girlfriend, the much younger Beyonce.

Jay looks like he’s weeping into his towel like knows he done did it now. At 40, he gave up his independence and half of his empire to a shrewd opponent who trapped him and shackled him at the ankles.

When they said their “I dos” Beyonce might as well have shouted “HALF!!” Because that’s what she stands to inherit 3 years down the road when a judge divvy’s up Jay Z’s assets and decides who gets what.


As for Beyonce: she now has 99 problems of her own – in the form of industry chicken heads, groupies and hoochies in every area code who are mobilizing and plotting their next move as I type this. A wedding ring on a wealthy man’s finger is like bird feed to a flock of hens. They will peck each other to death to be the first to get at his seed.

There is nothing more challenging to a seasoned groupie than bedding a rich and powerful married man. Ask Gabrielle union.

And there is nothing more gratifying to an aging husband than the knowledge that he his still desired by younger women. Ask Elliot Spitzer, Kwame Kilpatrick, Bill Clinton, David Paterson, LA Reid, and the list goes on and on.

Shout out to LaShonda Matlock of THE E-BIZ who was the first to break the news revealing the details of the wedding. She scooped the big dogs like E Entertainment, TMZ, and People magazine!
