Since its release on July 29th, Beyonce’ seventh solo album, “Renaissance,” has generated a lot of buzz. The well-known singer, who is married to the musician Jay-Z, appeared to allude to his scandalous infidelity while referencing the historic altercation he had with her sister Solange in the elevator back in 2014.
Queen Bey is thought to have poked fun at Jay Z’s adultery scandal in the songs “Cozy,” “Alien Superstar,” and “Plastic on the Sofa.” On the remix of “Flawless” from 2015, the Grammy-winning crooner supposedly attempted the same prank by including the line, “Of course sometimes s**t goes down when there’s a billion bucks on an elevator.” After leaving the Met Gala after-party, Solange attacked Jay-Z in an elevator while Beyonce watched, according to a security video that was leaked in May 2014.

With whom did Jay-Z have a relationship?
Beyonce appeared to have addressed Jay Z’s adultery issue in her new album, “Renaissance.” The 40-year-old alluded to the elevator controversy in the song “Cozy,” singing, “She’s a deity, she’s a hero, she survived, all she been through, confident and lethal,” despite never explicitly mentioning that her rapper husband had an affair with her sister Solange. “May I suggest you don’t f**k with my sister because she’s comfy,” she continues. I feel warm and at ease with who I am.
Beyonce appears to discuss taking lies from her husband while keeping him hooked in the marriage in the song “Alien Superstar.” Keep him addicted, lying on his lips, I lick it, she sings. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter pokes fun at the media’s focus on their relationship in the song “Plastic on the Sofa.”
“We don’t require approval from everyone. They’re too hard on you, boy, and they’re too hard on me, Beyonce sings. Boy, I know you can’t help but be yourself around me, yourself around me/And I know nobody’s perfect so I’ll let you be, I’ll let you be/the It’s way that you wear your emotions on both of your sleeves/’til the face you make when I tell you that I had to leave,” she continues.
Beyonce discussed her husband’s alleged infidelity in her 2016 album “Lemonade,” referring to the lady as “Becky with the nice hair.” The issue was mentioned by Jay himself the following year in a frank interview with the New York Times. He claimed that he had to “shut down emotionally” and go into “survival mode,” which caused him to commit adultery.
Solange says, “I don’t care if you know”
Twitter was flooded with comments from people on social media about Beyonce’s apparent reference to Jay Z’s cheating scandal. One user commented, “I truly hope Beyonce gives us a song with Solange in ACT 2,” while another added, “No way, #Beyonce singing “Might I suggest you don’t f**k with my sibling” in Cozy is her recalling what occurred with Solange and Jay-Z in 2014.”
“Lmfao Beyonce going real ratchet on church girl,” one person remarked. ikdr. Beyonce is from the ghetto, but you all overdo it, so downplay it. If you know, Solange doesn’t care. I don’t care, said another. She has mentioned this in a song twice now. I don’t really care if she doesn’t talk about it publicly if she doesn’t. Perform songs to dispel suspicions about D Child if she’s doing this. Finally, a commenter stated, “When Beyonce says “may I suggest you don’t f**k with my sibling,” she is referring to the possibility that Solange will screw you over in an elevator. Right.”
