Jay-Z is An Emotional Guy

Posted by Bossip Staff

Beyonce Jay-Z

Jay-Z recently spoke on dealing with his father’s death and his relationship with Beyonce:

“When I was young, the person I looked up to most was my father, and once I experienced that hurt, the separation from the guy you thought was Superman, you never want to feel that hurt again.” And now Jay-Z is convinced his relationship with Beyonce has improved as a result of his emotional bravery. Jay-Z says, “I’m sure she thinks I’m closed off. I’m working on it. Just trying to deal with emotional issues, taking them on proactively. Before, I wouldn’t even address it.”

Well at least he’s making an effort, but there is still no reason for non-gentleman like conduct in the photo above. Maybe it will take another tragic event for her to get some chivalrous action going.

    can it be????? 1st????


  2. I wouldn’t characterize that as

    “non-gentleman like conduct”

  3. he’s workin’ on it yall give him a break……

  4. Hammy2u

    Exactly what in this picture is he doing wrong? They’re leaving a building, she is walking down the steps with her hand at his back to steady herself.

    Do better Bossip!


  5. besides, we don’t know how he is behind closed doors…!


  6. he’s still #1 in my book!!

  7. Mr O Dot

    jiggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    my nigggggggggaaaaaaaa


  8. He’s always walking in front of her. This is not Saudi Arabia, fool.

    Everyone’s got problems and if you’re a black male living in a non-wealthy area, your chance of having daddy issues are probably like 80%

  10. Tee-Tee

    Wow!!! This is news breaking information…..

  11. Bahama Mama

    UMMM BOOOOOOOOO Bossip BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  12. Kittie

    He seems to have a personal account at a

    millionaire&celebrity dating club http://www.meetrich.com with his pictures and blog. He is so popular there.

  13. jen

    I stll can’t believe that they are together so all of tyhis is just plain hard to swallow.

  14. Mrs

    Why am I seeing this pic again????

    Whatever I dont know them – to speculate, to care but I am use to gentlemen behaviour and this is not how it is done.


  15. I think that’s excellent. He knows what’s up and he’s even talking about it publicly. I’m sure B feels secure anyway, but it’s nice to hear sometime if the man has some problems showing it.

  16. Mrs

    Too convenient dont you think??!

  17. Harlem Chic

    Props to Jay to admitting that having issues with your father can lead to serious communication problems if not addressed. In our community we act like fatherlessness is not a big deal. But it hurts the kids to not know who their daddies are…I don’t care if you’re superwoman…balance is balance..and a child without a daddy is imbalanced.

  18. Harlem Chic

    Before the haters attack…a child without a GOOD daddy is imbalanced….

  19. NubianGoddez

    ROTF @ Bossip Maybe it will take another tragic event for her to get some chivalrous action going. ya’ll on a roll today lol


  20. Off topic but these meetrich/millionaire’s club people need to be banned from this site

    That is all

  21. serene

    I thougth the same thing too bossip. she’s always trailing behind him so it seems…..

  22. dayg715

    maybe if this was a real relationship, and not a publicity ploy to give beyonce street credit, and joe camel some class in the eyes of white people, would he be more open with his feelings. i’ll bet he’s not so “closed off” with rihanna.

  23. AND...

    “Maybe it will take another tragic event for her to get some chivalrous action going.”

    Damn, evil much?

  24. BEE-STING!

    I love Jay…….Trust me he loves and appreciates that beautiful black queen…….many have tried to be with jay…but she is the one that got him….

  25. weezy

    Damn Bee been puttin up with that crap for 5 years?

    Jay you are 40 not 30 get over it already


  26. To be honest, I think both Shawn and Beyonce have walls up. I feel that if you have to WAIT 5 years to express things that a you could have said earlier in a relationship to someone you SAY you care about, then maybe that person is not really someone you FEEL you CAN open up to in that manner, and you need to reevaluate the whole relationship. Maybe it is time to stop the charade, Shawn and Beyonce.

  27. kai

    Lol yall are so silly. That man DOES NOT have to carry her around like she is a backpack. She can very well get her OWN DAMN DOOR sometimes, or let the chauffeur do it. Hell if she can bounce back up from bussin her ass down a flight of stairs, im sure she is fully capable of her own doors…

  28. kai

    She might have a new found fear of stairs. What is the scientific term for that?

  29. EXQUISITEOne

    I guess if it were a picture of her falling and he doesn’t realize it until he’s 5ft away then maybe some people will realize there is something wrong with this picture. He could at least help her down the stairs THEN proceed hopefully holding her hand….some ladies have never been in the company of a true gentleman – they’re always CONSCIOUS of your well being…I’ve seen too many pictures where he seems oblivious…maybe that’s his move to look in control???…Hopefully he’ll step his game up in that area….

  30. kai

    Lol she is looking at those stairs with precise concentration and its just 2 LMFAO ROFL !!!!!!!!!

  31. simone

    I don’t know what you guys are talking about, they are already married….

  32. justme

    cosign w/ kai she lookin extra careful lol

  33. justme

    ps at least Jay can admit he has issues and that he is workin on them. thats more than i can say 4 most! Now if Bey wants to stick around another 5 years waiting for that engagement ring well…………………ummm thats on her! but i’m rooting for them Jay&Bey all the way!!!! lol

  34. cat4everrr

    i love it when my husband holds the door open for me and warm my car up in the morning before i go to work. little things like that don’t cost a dollar but means so much

  35. JUSTICE

    He could have help her down the stairs !!! most mean would have(and im not a fan) but she is a LADY!!!


  36. Well at least he’s making an effort, but there is still no reason for non-gentleman like conduct in the photo above. Maybe it will take another tragic event for her to get some chivalrous action going.

    OR MAYBE BEY WAS LIKE JUST GET THE EFF ON NI99A, I CAN WALK. JUST GET IN THE CAR BEFORE THE PAPS TAKE ANY MORE PICS OF US, LOL.

  37. JUSTICE

    @cat4everrr right !!! my husband had dinner cooked for me when I got off from work last night and had it on the plate waiting to have dinner with me !!! He is the BEST!!!

  38. Mrs

    After that fall wouldn’t you be prang of stairs???? That was a fall on a grand scale. B bounced- but I give her props for jumping up and getting no with it. Thats a professional, but she really doesn’t want that to happen again those heels and those stairs would be a moment to focus. We have all been there.

  39. Kim

    Damn how long does it take to get over that, just marry have kids then you can be superman.

  40. TT

    LOL @ Kai

    I understand helpin a lady down the stairs BUT let’s analyze this. She is walking down TWO steps NOT a FLIGHT w/ HEELs that she shakes her ass in on STAGE. She doesnt need any help. Shes probably just blinded by the lights of the Paps & Jay doesnt know she is being blinded.

    I congratulate him workin on his emotions. You dont just leave a realtionship at a drop of a dime. Everyone has a reason for things they do in life & if your reasons are legit you cant knock them. If thats the case many of us would have left in the beginning.

  41. dani

    I applaud Jay for working on himself to be a better man but Jay has ALWAYS seemed pretty distant from everyone. I’ve figured this before he got with Beyonce or made it public with her. Jay was a loner and he was always to himself so him being so independent probably is the reason for that..but he working on it and that’s all good

  42. J

    He’s doing nothing wrong in the picture. Maybe she shouldn’t wear heels that are hard to walk in. How is he supposed to know she is in danger of falling because her heels are so high?

  43. Fit-n-Fab

    I swear it looks like she has her arm extended and he’s holding her hand while she walks down TWO DAMN STEPS…

    Maybe if those damn photog’s weren’t in the face, the picture wouldn’t look so distorted.

    Give em a break…

    Nah she has her arm extended and is grabbing the back of his jacket his other arm that is not really seen is in his pocket..but I don’t see the big deal..Jay to me is gentlemen though

  45. Nic

    …I’m sure she thinks I’m closed off????

    Does he even know her name???

    MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  46. JerseyBred

    Can we say “overanalysis?”

  47. Free

    he’s sounding like diddy now….

  48. Kanyade

    After FIVE/SIX years he’s sure she thinks he’s closed off??? WTF??? :lol: Are you sure, JayZ? Beyonce…what is your man talking about? :lol:

  49. Kanyade

    To be honest, I think both Shawn and Beyonce have walls up. I feel that if you have to WAIT 5 years to express things that a you could have said earlier in a relationship to someone you SAY you care about, then maybe that person is not really someone you FEEL you CAN open up to in that manner, and you need to reevaluate the whole relationship.

    SunGoddess,

    You talk sense here. ;)

  50. geez

    I don’t know about yall but he is always looking off never looking at her…I feel he is with her to boost his status…I don’t feel like he really is feeling her as a person. If I was her I would bounce….Every woman wants a man you holds doors open for her and to act like he is really digging her…..A lot of black men have father issues and are closed off emotionally as a result….He is not any different. It does not matter how much money you have boys need their father…Just like little girls need their mothers

  51. imagine me

    @ BEE-STING

    Well, I applaud Jay-Z for admitting that he has a problem but you make it sound like she’s just so LUCKY to be with him instead of the other way around…and from what it seems like, he doesn’t seem to be treating her like he cares all that damn much. I guess she’s satisfied w/ being #2 all her life…. I guess I’m a little tired of all these beautiful and talented women in the media enabling these dudes to never grow up.

    (Whitney houston, kim porter, Tracey Edmonds, Vanessa Bryant, etc.)


  52. Hmpf… I remember Jay Z used to stay playing Beyonce when they would go to events together early on in their relationship. Leaving her sitting alone while he would chill with other chicks….it doesn’t look like much has changed….

  53. kai

    I dont understand how you all can determine their relationship based on pictures alone. We dont know them personally. He could very well treat her like a princess when the cameras arent flashing. Theres no doubt about it he looks like a camel (sorry I had to do it lol), but lets give them a break. Your man is not going to hold the door for you or your hand as if you are some mentally unfit child ALL THE TIME. Thats just how he is, he isnt the man that holds hands or doors or handles all the time. Does that make him any less of a human being or a good man ? NO IT DOESNT!!

  54. Hi, my name is_

    Jay Don’t ever have to worry.He never has to marry or say a word to her.and she ain’t stupid enough to go no where.Them being together helped her career. and after hearing ring the alarm. he must be proud.LMAO

  55. lala

    your comments are so stupid.

    When it comes to anything having to do with Beyonce any idiot can see that you/BOSSIP are not unbiased…you have an ax to grind and it is pathetic.

    Analyzing their relationship based on that picture?

    you’ll always be bottom feeders..

  56. binary star

    Why does he look like he has cerebral palsy in that picture?

  57. karma

    Is this a ploy to sell more records? I mean how long ago did his pops die? Why are you talking about this now? You want to sell some records release a sex tape. I want to see how long and strong you really are anyways… with those sexy ass lips, bet you can suck a mean clit.

  58. Mahogany

    Bossip that last sentence just doesn’t sit right w/ me. It’s almost a hex or am I reaching???????

    Ok, ok. Reaching a tid bit.

  59. Annie

    I would check a man who didn’t know that he is supposed to help a lady with heels down the stairs. That pic is pitiful, and there’s a reason many people posting don’t see a problem with it–you are just side chicks who are used to no respect!

  60. lucky

    @ Imagine Me

    good looking out I totally agree!

  61. Ty

    Oh please u can’t judge a relationship based off of pics. Nobody knows what they do behind closed doors but them. Besides if Jay wanted another woman then he could have had Rihanna’s big fivehead flat ass but no he stuck with the real woman Beyonce. And Beyonce could have had Usher or any man in the world but she chose the best man for her which is Jay. So leave them alone they been together for like 6 years so they don’t have to prove their relationship to anybody. Now I see why they don’t talk about. People are gonna speculate regardless. This whole topic is the very reason they don’t talk about their relationship. SMH

  62. Liz

    I think it was a tad bit inappropriate to say that he needs to experience another tragic event so that he’ll act like a gentleman. That was unnecessary Bossip.


  63. THAT IS GAME! JAY-Z GOT THE GIFT TO GABBBBB

    CHECK THIS OUT GO TO:www.myspace.com/ilovemyfans

    FOR SOME REASON BEYONCE HAD THIS SONG REMOVED. LEAVE ME A COMMENT AND TELL ME WHY YOU THINK THIS SONG WAS REMOVED FROM MYSPACE!!!

  64. jojo

    plese!! help her do what? does Jay-Z have to wipe her ass too. she’s a grown woman she can’t walk on her own don’t were high heels.


  65. But I give them credit for just hanging in there. I really hope they get married cause I know that is what they want. They got issues just like the next couple. Bey seems so sweet!

  66. Tiva

    Awwhhh leave them alone. He talks about that girl in all of his damn albums. Personally, I think they’re married on the low anyway. I love them as a couple.

  67. bria

    I feel you Jay Z. My father left early on too and I didn’t go to his funeral and I am dealing with that now. You are a Sagitarius you will never be completely open to anyone. It is just not in our nature. My birthday is three days from yours and I am sure you have had alot of relationships fail because people felt you were closed off. It just comes with who you are.

  68. lovelyandamazing

    I believe Jay Z and Beyonce truly love eachother. And sometimes powerful women like to take step back to their man and there is nothing wrong with that. Look at Madonna, she prefers to be called Mrs. Ritchie and she is often photographed walking behind him. I think its balance. Maybe she doesn’t want her man to be a fan but a leader. I think it says a lot about her. Jay Z is thoughtful. I believe he bought her an original Basquiat painting. Not just thoughtful, but classy and honorable. God Bless them.
