Jay-Z and Beyonce Wed on April 4
Monday, April 7, 2008 By: Mike Ivey Jr.
Pop superstars Jay-Z, AKA Shawn Carter, and Beyonce Knowles reportedly were married Friday in an intimate New York ceremony. Witnesses included friends and family of the two seemingly omnipresent celebs. Reports of a pending wedding between two of the most celebrated musicians in the last ten years began to surface earlier last week when the couple bought a marriage license in Scarsdale, New York.
A private wedding reception, with DJ Cassidy on the ones and twos, was attended by Beyonce’s parents, Music World’s Matthew Knowles and fashion designer Tina Knowles, the singers’ younger sister Solange, Destiny Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and Jay-Z’s friends, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin of Cold Play. Decorated actor Forest Whitaker reportedly also attended the reception. Jay-Z’s Tribeca, NY apartment building, the rooftop adorned with flowers and tented scaffolding, was reportedly crawling with reporters and photographers around 8pm Friday.
Jay-Z and Beyonce wed on April 4; both were born on the fourth day of the month (December and September, respectively). At press time there are no reports of any mainstream hip hop artists attending either the wedding or reception.
Last week NBS reported that Jay-Z has agreed to a label/branding deal with concert promotion giant Live Nation worth some $150 million over ten years.
