The rapper introduced the Barbadian beauty to the music over 10 years ago when he signed her to Def Jam Recordings. It is no wonder that the two have become firm friends, but it looks like things are getting a little too friendly for Beyoncé’s liking.
An insider revealed to UK magazineGraziathat the infamous elevator fight between Jay Z and Solange was linked to his close relationship to Rihanna.
“Jay has several phones, one of which he keeps reserved for Rihanna, supposedly to discuss business interests.” The insider confided to the magazine.
“It’s obvious when she calls because he’ll interrupt meetings, even walk away from the dinner table to speak with her.

“Beyoncé has always been aware that he has several different numbers, but when she discovered Rihanna has a hotline to her husband, she was livid.
“She absolutely hates how close they are but feels powerless to stop it.”
Despite any differences, Rihanna and Beyoncé attended the launch of Jay Z;s new streaming service, Tidal, to show their support.
“Beyonce is a peacekeeper by nature. And the last thing she wants is to cause a fuss while the spotlight is on their new venture.” The insider revealed.
“But she feels increasingly frustrated that Jay refuses to accept there is anything unorthodox about his friendship with Rihanna.”
