Did Queen Bey just attempt to dethrone her king??
During her performance of Resentment in Ohio on Saturday night, Beyoncé sort of foreshadowed marital troubles with hubby Jay Z by changing the lyrics to her hit song about cheating!!
Dressed in white wedding garb, Yonc├â┬⌐ took the On The Run Tour stage — getting super emotional and altering a very specific part of the song to provide a pretty direct message that she was talking about her relationship with HOVA.
The original stanza is supposed to be sung:
“I know she was attractive but I was here first
Been ridin’ with you for six years why did I deserve
To be treated this way by you, you.”
And Beyoncé changed it to:
“I know she was attractive but I was here first
Been ridin’ with you for twelve years why did I deserve
To be treated this way by you, you.”
You may not think the numerical change from six to twelve is telling — but 2002 is when Jay and Bey supposedly started dating, so as of 2014, that would make their love 12-years-old!
Plus, the song was written when their relationship was only four, so the original six was never a significant number.
Rumors of trouble in paradise and cheating started after the Solange elevator brawl, semi-centering around fashion designer Rachel Roy…
But is this lyric change a truly an intentional message of a relationship on the rocks, or just NBD?
U decide after ch-ch-checking out the supposed shade AND the original song…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
