Beyonce Changes “Resentment” Lyrics, Potentially Addressing Jay Z’s Rumored Infidelity

    Singing her 2006 song “Resentment” over the weekend on the On The Run tour in Ohio, Beyonce switched the lyrics of her B’day track sparking speculation that she was referencing infidelity on the part of husband Jay Z.

    The song, which appeared on Beyonce’s album after released and unreleased versions from Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Hudson respectively, references a six-year relationship. Performing the song in a white wedding dress on Saturday (June 28), Beyonce changed the lyrics to reportedly correspond with the amount of time her and Jay Z have been together.

    “I know she was attractive, but I was here first,” she sang. “Been riding with you for 12 years / Why did I deserve to be treated this way by you?”

    The Daily News reports that the lyric didn’t apply to Beyonce’s then four-year relationship with Jay Z upon its release in 2006. Using their 2002 hit “Bonnie & Clyde” as a reference point, the couple’s relationship seems to have started around the same time. 

    On Sunday (June 29), a prerecorded performance of Jay Z and Beyonce on their On The Run tour aired as a part of this year’s 2014 BET Awards. The couple also took home an award for Best Collaboration for “Drunk In Love.” Their currently running tour is scheduled to include more than 20 dates in both North America and Europe. 

    A fan-submitted video of the Ohio performance is available for streaming below.

    1. That is one fugly picture lmao, I used to think the conspiracy theorists were crazy but something is definitely “off” with this chick, Idk what it is but its like… A mask, many, many faces. Her real face doesn’t exist.

      1. She is definitely “off”. Ive been saying this for a few years now.

        She has many faces and personalities. Especially when she does interviews she acts like she’s a house wife and then undresses on stage and acts like a whore

      2. Illuminati does exist, only imbeciles dont believe in it.

        They “illuminated” their minds and they can’t see shit

      1. Beyonce “writing” her own shit is laughable.
        Producers already came out she cant write, literally.
        She was illiterate and just recently learned how to write and spell correctly.

        Her grammar was HORRIBLE!

      1. He wasnt married then goober, but we’ll tell your future wife you pick your nose for a snack

    2. “Not me, I need Angelina Jolizeey comfort
      So I ain’t gon’ make a move unless I got a Plan B
      That’ll happen the day I have a baby by Free
      Not to say that anything is wrong with Free
      Just to say that ain’t nothing wrong with me
      If my hand’s in the cookie jar, know one thing
      I’mma take the cookie, not leave my ring
      If my hands in the cookie jar know one thing
      I’mma take (laughs) y’all know what I mean”

      Guess Jay-Z ain’t done gotten in Trouble again …

      1. Not much at all, nearly all of the major news sites have been reporting on this for months. DX is a little slow to the party actually.

    3. I was at the Boston show last night and she did the same thing. I did not take this at all as a reference to speculation of Jay cheating on her. Saying 12 years fell in line with their “on the run” Bonnie and Clyde story line that plays throughout the performance. The entire show Jay and Bey were rubbing up on each other and having a great time vibing off each others energy.

      Fuck you HiphopDx, it’s websites like you and TMZ that starts all this bullshit drama that people can end up getting really hurt over.

      1. AND IT’S LITTLE INTERNET BITCHES LIKE YOU THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY BLIND TO THE FACT! YOU’RE BLIND BABY, YOU’RE BLIND TO THE FACT (FLAVOR FLAV VOICE)

    4. Why would you cheat on Beyonce Jay Z?!?!?!?!?!?! There are men who would give up their right arm to hit just once!

    5. It’s trashy to air your dirty laundry in public like that. He’s still the Father of your child. Out of respect for your family, keep that shit in-house. All you’re doing is inviting the media and paparazzi to have carte blanche and make a mockery of your personal life. Show some class.

    6. And all these dudes that say “How can you cheat on Beyonc”…c’mon man, let’s keep it 100. You know damn well that even if it’s the best pussy on earth, once you hit it a thousand times you want some other pussy.

    7. as the old saying goes… show me halle barry and I’ll show you a guy that is tired of fucking her.
