Jay-Z is opening up on the scandal that almost destroyed his marriage toBeyonce.
In a new extensive interview with T: The New York Times Style Magazine, the rap legend admitted yet again his infidelity to his wife, gave arare glimpse of what his marriage was like at that point, and how they were able to make amends and become inseparable.
“You know, most people walk away, and like divorce rate is like 50 percent or something’cause most people can’t see themselves.
The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself,” he told the magazine.
“So, you know, most people don’t want to do that. You don’t wantto look inside yourself.
And so you walk away.
”Recall that the rumours that he was cheating began in 2013, and it was worsened by the infamous 2014 #ElevatorGate, when his sister-in-law, Solange Knowles, attacked him at the METGala in the presence of Beyonce.
The family did not speak about the scandal for many years, until in 2016 when Beyonce dropped her iconic album, Lemonade, in which she addressed his infidelity and sent a clear message that he is going to lose his wife if he tries ‘that shit again’.
Jay-Z finally admitted to cheating in his album,4:44, released in June this year.
Now, Speaking with Tmagazine, the legend explained how therapy healed them.
“I grew so much from the experience,” the rapper said. “But I think the most important thing I got is that everything is connected. Every emotion is connected and it comes from somewhere. And just being aware of it.
Being aware of it in everyday life puts you at such a … you’re at such an advantage.”And all of this came from his childhood, the kind of childhood he had.“You go into survival mode, and when you go intosurvival mode what happen? You shut down all emotions.
So even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect [because of the way you feel about yourself],” he said.
“In my case, like it’s, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: infidelity.”And speaking of the kind of therapy they had, he said, “We were using our art almost like a therapysession.”He added that emotions were running high as they worked on their albums.“We were sitting in the eye of that hurricane,” Jay-Z said. “The best place is right in the middle of the pain. And that’s where we were sitting. And it was uncomfortable. And we had a lot of conversations. You know.
[I was] really proud of the music she made, and she was really proud of the art I released.
And, you know, at the end of the day we really have a healthy respect for one another’s craft. I think she’s amazing.
”Now, they are doing amazingly well, plus the new addition to their family–Rumi and Sir Carter, hasbrought them closer to each other.
