New Jay Z album: Rapper reportedly penning response to Beyonce’s Lemonade

It's rumoured to tell 'his side of things'

When life gives you sour grapes, make Whine? That’s the best I’ve got, I’m sorry.

In the wake of Beyoncé’s confessional Lemonade album, inevitable rumours have begun that her husband is working on an album responding to the veiled allegations of infidelity on the record.

“Jay is working on an album telling his side of things," a source told US Magazine.

Take this with a mountain of salt, as the couple are still together and it would be bizarre if he literally issued a response album like some sort of Drake-Meek Mill beef, but, at the same time, whatever music Jay Z does eventually release will surely have to reference this whole debacle, this enormous elephant in the room, somehow.

Jay Z’s career currently hangs in a weird limbo. His last album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, received mixed reviews, his streaming service, Tidal, is the butt of many jokes and his rap currency is slowly going downhill - Drake recently hinting that he didn’t want Jay on his ‘Pop Style’ track.

Beyoncé is riding high meanwhile, her critically-acclaimed album compounding the success of the world tour she is currently midway through.
