Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z are taking the Internet by storm, thanks to Beyonce's "Lemonade" album where lyrics of several songs purport to a cheating better half. Many are now wondering if Jay-Z did cheat on the "Independent" singer.
The hour-long "Lemonade" aired Saturday on HBO. The much anticipated visual album debuted with Beyonce performing several songs and with music videos that will leave many wondering about the real status of Beyonce and Jay-Z's marriage. Is it still strong? Opinions differ.

Notwithstanding the fact that Beyonce's "Lemonade" album is available on Tidal, where Jay-Z has a huge stake, people can't help but wonder if the lyrics of the songs were directed on Jay-Z's unknown escapades. Many of the songs contained "brutal lyrics," as TooFab mentioned.
'Lemonade' Album Lyrics Denoting Cheating
For instance, in "Denial," a very pointed line, "Are you cheating on me?" was asked by Beyonce. With the video showing Beyonce walking on the streets with a baseball bat in hand and about to smash anything on its path doesn't help in putting an end to the Beyonce and Jay-Z divorce and cheating rumors.
In "Intuition," on the other hand, Beyonce's distinct soprano voice sings, "You can taste the dishonesty, it's on your breath." Does this denote that Beyonce knows of any affair that Jay-Z might have or is having?

Here's what takes the cake, "Anger" vehemently pours out the emotions of a woman scorned, "This is your final warning. You know I give you life. You try this s-t again, you gonna lose your wife!" Prior to this line was a series of expletives that you can just imagine.
With this lyrics confronting the Beyhive, do you think Jay-Z cheated on Beyonce? Well, nobody knows for sure.
Cheating and divorce rumors have circulated but the Beyonce and Jay-Z are still together. Perhaps Beyonce gave a strong warning to Jay-Z that if he does not put a lid to any side activities he has, he'll end up receiving divorce papers.
Beyonce's "Lemonade" Is Not All Rants
On the lighter side, CNN reported that there's more to the "Lemonade" album than being a rant of a cheated wife. It also speaks of empowerment and love.
"Lemonade" likewise featured home videos of Beyonce and her father. It also showed clips from her wedding to Jay-Z. Of course, it won't be complete without including clips of Blue-Ivy's birthday party.
The big question to be answered is whether or not Beyonce and Jay-Z will divorce soon? Based on the lyrics, maybe. Based on reality, probably not. They're still together anyway.
