UK Newspaper Puts Jay Z’s “Secret Baby” On Blast

Beyonce

Um, so…apparently the UK didn’t get the memo on the rumor from like five years ago that Jay Z has a “secret child”. All the panties that Jay was slingin’ back in the day and you expect us not to believe that there aren’t several hundred big-lipped children floating around? Get real. Peep the story with the names and all:

Beyoncé’s star is shining brightly right now and she attributes much of her showbiz success to her long-term partner and husband, rap star Jay-Z, 39.

Such is their deep love for each other that Beyoncé, 27, recently revealed that they plan to start a family before she turns 30. But behind the apparent happiness lies a secret that Beyoncé carries with her: the claim that Jay-Z has already experienced fatherhood without her.

Now we can reveal that the fiercely private rapper – who’s worth an estimated $400 million – reportedly has a secret 7-year-old son who he’s amazingly managed to hide from the limelight all this time. The boy apparently bears a striking resemblance to his father and is the result of Jay-Z’s romance with Trinidadian model Shenelle Scott which ended in 2001, before he met Beyoncé.

Jay-Z has gone to great lengths to distance himself from the claims, despite reports that he’s privately admitted paternity. Beyoncé, whom he married in April 2008, is now apparently accepting of the boy and is even said to have gone on holiday with her stepson in the South of France.

Although Jay-Z’s spokesman denied that there was any truth in ‘these ridiculous rumours’, the rebuttal falls short of a denial that the rap star is the boy’s father. Despite approaching Jay-Z’s representatives repeatedly last week, they refused to comment.

Sources say that Shenelle and her son live a quiet life in Trinidad at a $2.5 million home that Jay-Z bought for them after paternity tests revealed a positive match. It’s also thought that Shenelle, 28, brings her son to see Jay-Z in New York, where he’s based, whenever she flies there for modeling assignments.

This isn’t the first time Jay-Z has tried to keep his personal life out of the public eye. Even though he and Beyoncé have been together since September 2002, they kept the relationship under wraps for many months – and it wasn’t until six months after they married last year that they officially confirmed they were man and wife.

That’s right, Jay. Sweep that sh*t under the rug like a real man.

  • Lil Mama C4

    The ONLY reason I don’t believe it is because I don’t see Jay Z denying his child. I mean he LOVES his nephews why would he turn his back on his? That is the ONLY reason because in all honesty when they put them on that cover with Jay on one side the mother on the other and that little boy in the middle OMG he exactly like what their child would look like!!!!

  • http://bossip Ronell

    Remember that song for da fam. when jay say plus im having a child which is more frightening what yall about to whitness is big business kid. etc…..
    I love hov he’d be a great pop.

    A real man dont keep secrets

  • http://bossip MoniSings

    I applaud Jay Z for keeping his personal business under wraps. He’s entitled to his privacy and having such an exposed life makes it hard – impossible, really, since’s he’s so high profile in the industry. Seeing the pattern in which he and Beyonce follow as far as keeping their business out of the limelight, I think Jay just wants his son to have a normal life, away from all the Hollyweirdness. He has already acknowledged his son by preparing a place for him to live, if what’s being said is true. He strikes me as a “man” and not a “boy in a man’s suit.”

    As for Bey, if she loves her husband, she takes everything that comes with him, including his child(ren). Seems she’s accepted it. What more is there to say?

  • mojojojo

    @ lalliycyaha
    ahhhhhhhh baby its june..aprils fool was 2months ago…..WOW

  • Speaking the truth…

    I can’t see him denying his child either…but I put nothing past celebrities these days. If it is his son…he will put him on blast when he gets of age.

  • excuse me

    it’s “husband and wife” not “man and wife” you morons…it’s 2009 for God’s sake.

  • dayg715

    they are LATE as hell with this story. but it’s definitely believable. only reason why we don’t hear about the child is because Camel is coughing up the cash on a regular basis so the boy’s mother doesn’t have anything to complain about.

  • http://bossip.com This some shhhh…

    Maybe the child is dening the father.

  • B’More

    @Mizz Pimpin

    EXACTLY.

  • Kenny

    We dont see the trips he may take to visit his child, we only see what they let us. The mom is being paid to keep quiet and if she doesnt she has to pay the price like so many. Jay has a legal team that can bury an individual not to mention thugs who will do anything for him.

  • lovebaby1117

    Jay-z and Beyonce are a very quiet couple. I think that the media is trying to dig up some dirt on them because they don’t put their business out there like some of these other tack head couples out here.

  • Kenny

    @lovebaby

    I dont think the media is “just trying to find something”, I think most reports are true but rich powerful people pay people to keep things quiet. Stop believing Jay and Beyonce are innocent, they do their dirt quietly and no one is able to speak about it or your labeled a hater. Do you remember Jay stabbing Lance Un Rivera? What happened to that?

  • boringcouple

    Boreyawnsay and Camel face are Not even married! Wake up people!

    In the meantime, bey’s tour cancel because tickets didn’t sell.

  • missunderstood

    So this must be the woman he was rapping about on “Lost One”? -

    I don’t think it’s meant to be, be
    But she loves her work more than she does me
    And honestly, at twenty-three
    I would probably love my work more than I did she
    So we, ain’t we
    It’s me, and her
    ‘Cause what she prefers over me, is work
    And that’s, where we, differ
    So I have to give her
    Free, time, even if it hurts
    So breathe, mami, it’s deserved
    You’ve been put on this earth to be
    All you can be, like the reserves
    And me? My time in the army, it’s served
    So I have to allow she, her, time to serve
    The time’s now for her
    In time she’ll mature
    And maybe we, can be, we, again like we were
    Finally, my time’s too short to share
    And to ask her now, it ain’t fair
    So yeah, she lost one

  • Carla

    I’m not shocked by the way that kid that lives in Trinidad with his mom Shanelle does have an uncanny resembalance to Jay’z I believe that his little boy. He should just admit it, lol. And now come to think of it ohhhh, that may be the reason for Amil laying low and staying out of the public eye. And I heard he a couple of young adult daughters in college.

  • Cece

    PLiz…as If thats the only child he has…what about him??? you can see the uncanny resemblance…the lips the cheeks ——–>

  • Kenny

    What is it with Jay and a chick from Princeton? I keep hearing he has a girl there, not sure if daughter or side chick…..does anyone know?

  • Ms. T.

    I wonder how this child is going to feel when he grows up and finds out that his father was ashamed of him?

  • missunderstood

    Isn’t Jay-Z like 39 or 40? So it would stand to reason he more than likely has sired a child somewhere along the way. I don’t think he is DENYING his kid, just not acknowledging to the public. That’s their personal family business anyway.
    Jay-Z should just make sure to be in his life, or his “son” (if there is a son) will be the one writing the tell all…

  • http://bossip Whoa!

    This IS true!! And that little boy grimaces just like Jay.

    I can’t stand Jay Z but my opinion isn’t based on my personal feelings, but the truth. Everybody in the NYC circle who knows J knows that’s his son. It’s like an open secret. This isn’t about keeping his personal life private. Jay DOES NOT CLAIM THAT LITTLE BOY!!! How many times he keeps saying he’s ready for kids when he already has one that he thinks he can just sweep under the rug. That is HIS SON and it’s a shame that Shenelle is putting a price on her own child’s head when her son is worth so much more, and I’m not talking about getting more money, but the acknowledgement from Jay that that IS his son. It’s just that at the time Shenelle got pregnant he was starting to fall for Bey. And yall know Papa Knowles ain’t having her play 2nd fiddle to NOBODY!!

    Jay Z is a GRIIIIIIMY n****!! He may have all the money but it’s not going to help him in his personal life cuz karma is gonna get all up in his ass.

    Happy Fathers Day Hov, lol

  • http://none Mis Lil Girl

    It’s wrong for him to keep his child hidden like that. I have to work under the assumption that yeah, Bey knew. She had to have known. But even more, she don’t care. Or rather, she ACTS like she don’t care. That ain’t her kid, you feel me? Besides, Jay Z is a black male, so it figures he’ll have illegitimate offspring SOMEWHERE. Big deal.

    If you’re on Twitter, set your location to Tehran and your time zone to GMT +3.30. Security forces are hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. The more people at this location, the more of a logjam it creates for forces trying to shut Iranians’ access to the internet down. Cut & paste & pass it on.

    @Whoa! – so you are from NY? What part? Going up to Watertown near Fort Drum in the fall, to see my cuz who just moved there. I don’t know anything about the NY at all. Can you get everywhere by train?

  • Bianca

    missunderstood

    He was sooooo talking about Beyonce.

  • http://Concreteloop.com Tiff.Willl.

    Its Ty Ty’s son. This is bull.

  • Bianca

    Idk y he would deny having a child thats silly. He doesnt have to broadcast his “son” but its a tad bit odd that he would deny it completely. Him and Janet are two lames if this is true that they have children. Who is the father of his nephew he is always with? Could that be his child? IDK.

  • missunderstood

    @Bianca – but the verse sounds like they broke up at the end of the day? That’s why I was ruling Bey out, he didn’t lose her (or vice versa)…He got the whole kit and kaboodle. thought this was a ‘break-up’ verse. Maybe not….

  • star

    Its totally unbelievable how dumb most folks sound. I mean, take a story and make up a WHOLE freaing HBO serious from it WITHOUT even knowing no one in the cast.

    My point is, STOP believing everything you read.
    Put one and two together and makes some sense out of shyt PRIOR to drawing your own conclusion.

    WHO THE F IS JAY Z THAT HE WOULD WANT TO HIDE HAVING A DAMN KID?

    DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE/KIDS LOOK LIKE MY DAD? But does that mean he’s the dang on father.

    GTFOH

    Two black successful people doing there thing and nucka’s just gotta find negativity.

    This man didn’ t have a father. He was raised by a single mother majority of his own life. Why in the hell would he HIDE a SON of all things? FOR WHAT? ASK YOURSELF THAT? It makes no dang on sense!!!

    sit back, THINK ABOUT IT, I’ll wait….

    Exactly. IT makes no sense.

    Let it go!!

    Believe me. If OBAMA IS THE FIRST BLK PRESIDENT AND THEY CAN’T DIG UP DIRT AND he manage to be a DAMN GOOD MAN, more exist.

    STOP LOOKING FOR BAD…..

    MEANWHILE, haters will hate….

    I’M PRETTY SURE IT’S PLENTY OF HOES THAT CAN SAY THEY WAS WITH HOV 7 YEARS DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME B CLAMING SHE WAS WITH HIM.SO WHY WOULD B EVEN CLAIM THEM YEARS AND THE REST OF THE HOES COUNTING THEM TOO HOV HAS NEVER ADMITTED TO A MAIN SQUEEZE PRIOR TO MARRIAGE NOT EVEN B AND WE KNOW THAT WASN’T HER FIRST

  • BronxQT

    what difference does it make so as long as jigga is providing for his child and making an effort to be a part of his life. would it make jay a better father if he offered up his son to the paps and blogs to constantly tear down?

    IF the story is true and Beyonce knows…why should we care.

    Thanks TKTHOMAS

    As successful and SMART as Hova is. It just don’t even make COMMON sense to hide a kid….

    Non at all…..

    I just wish people would add shyt up PRIOR to judging If it doesn’t make sense, nine times out of ten, IT’S ANOTHER DUMB AZZ RUMOR!!!

  • Where Yo Boss At?!

    Soooo… OBVIOUSLY you’ve got first hand accounts of BEYONCE’S sold out MSG concert, coupled with the FORBES cover & $87,000,000 pay check this past fiscal year, coupled with the petition to stop her from singing for Obama, to only have her be the ONLY artist to sing THREE times… while YOUR “queen” Rihtawd get’s beat down, put on blast for her BORROWED clothes & jewelry trynna keep up wit da Knowles’s, have coochie pics all over the net & you’re feelin’ some type of way.

    wow..he is taking care of his son..just beacuse he did not marry that childs mother doesn’t mean he will love that child any less then any other children he has..therefore that child is not a bastard..stop being so ignorant…if u dont have anything positive or nice to say keep ur mouth closed and ur keyboard dusty..

    Me lurves Hov just as much as the next person but….if the child is a bastard, that’s not because of us.

    Note the meaning of bastard–

    Bastard– a child born out of wedlock.

    We didn’t MAKE the child a bastard.

    His parents did.

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals!!!™.–Pimpin, Platinum style. J-Hud’s concert was off the meatrack!!!

    Like Beyonce or hate her–she is one of the hottest chicks in the game right now. I can’t WAIT for next week. he’ll be here in G’Boro and I will be IN THE BUILDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Trin

    This is not true. That girl’s child’s father is Trinidadian national football player Stern John. And Jay did not buy her no damn house lol but she is married to a wealthy man.

  • Luv-Lee

    @ Ronell
    Remember that song for da fam. when jay say plus im having a child which is more frightening what yall about to whitness is big business kid. etc…..
    I love hov he’d be a great pop.
    ———————————————–
    Yeah, but his child was still born. He talked about it in a song w/ Beanie Seigle and Scarface called This Cant Be Life. (I think thats what it’s called. The song you talkin about came out before the song Im talking about. I doubt that this Trini woman had his baby. She probably wants to be his, but I doubt it.

  • Verodemort

    Well, if he bought his kid and baby momma a home, sees his child from time to time, that’s not really sleezy of him to keep the kid under wraps. What type of parent pimps out their kids anyways? He has a right to keep his business his own, and we are NOT entitled to know all his ish.

  • justreal504

    He probably does have children. On another note, I know Beyonce is concerned that her kids by Jay-Z will be big lipped and ugly but she can’t voice that, it wouldn’t be nice. She knows he’s ugly but she had to marry money because she’s rich.

  • facefacts

    lol I bet that hurt but it was before her so i guess she’s over it!! she married him anyway…then again she is slow so she’s prolly just realizing it so…count down to divorce …5…4…3..2..1..

  • da da dah

    So what if he has a kid. Would rather raise a stepson from an old flame of my boo other than being beaten to the bone.RiRi

  • Where Yo Boss At?!

    Thanks @SUZY :-)

    & WRONG @ Jade. Bey’s 27 & her birthday is in September. Get a new calculator & start your speech over. :-D

  • Jade Silver (the countdown has begun)

    @ Where your Boss at?… If you had read what I said then you might realise that you are the f*cking idiot. I said Bey is 28 this year. Which means she will turn 28 in the year.

    as suals the knowles have more lies and try to ccover up everything for their family. We allknew he had the kidds but dag she is now just accpeteingit.. WOW!!!

    Beyonce is greeedy!!!

    Hiding his son gets him LAME father of the YEar AWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • liz

    This is really OLD news….LIKE REALLY OLD! British papers be behind on everything but British shit….If there is any truth to this story….i DUNNO but even if he does have a son, he and beyonce have an agreement, cos home girl has been down for him 7 years. If not, then well, beyonce should get the memo and when she is done with this tour, she should POP a baby out, make jay-z being a DAD real official. I wish them all the best!

  • MoniChris

    The little boy in question obviously looks like his father Benny Boom or Benny Boon (sp?) and not Jay.

  • flawda

    Why don’t yall use some damn logic for one sense seeing how most women dont have none. Jay talks about not growing up without a father all the time and how much he loves his nephews, why would he deny his child. This is coming from a man who has admitted to selling crack, i am pretty sure admitting to a child is not the end of the world.

  • Whateva

    Jay is actually Beyonce’s nephews father.
    That’s the REAL secret.

    He would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you nosey kids :) LOL

  • Tee

    Again they want to have smome sense of normalcy in heir lives. I would hide my children too if I was a celebrity. No matter what the “truth” is, they have a right to privacy. We all do.

    Ladies do not allow your man to go to Trinidad there are too many beautiful women in that country..you can be safe if they go to Barbados, Jamaica or the bahamas, but not Trinidad. Have any of you been to Trinidad for carnival? Damn! Pretty women all around, black mix with black, black mix with chinese, black mix with indian, black mix with white, black mix with syrian..your head will spin..I kid you not! Do not trust your man to go to Trinidad..Just trying to help out you ladies. I think Beyonce ban Jayz from going back there because since they became an item he never went back and before the nicca use to make frequent visit to Trinidad.

  • step9

    Beyonce would have kids herself if she had not gotten a couple of abortions! She was pregnant at 15! there are pics to prove it!

  • http://bossip.com chasity

    beyonce know wonder why they rush the wedding.Beyonce really needs to maybe settle down and have a family.she said she was scared to eat pork or two so i don’t know maybe she is pregant so congrats bee and jay lol

    Sorry, maybe the kid is jay-z’s but that child do favor Benny Boom more so than Jay-z.
