R&B and rap couple Shawn Corey "Jay Z" Carter and Beyoncé Knowles have been making headlines recently with the breakup rumors they both neither denied nor confirmed.
Jay Z and Beyoncé are reportedly "trying to figure out a way to split without divorcing" because "On The Run" is a "huge concert tour and they've already gotten most of the money from the promoters up front," Page Six has learned.
According to a source, Jay Z is exerting effort to fix their marriage, which includes hiring marriage counselors traveling with them on their tour, as he is the one at fault. He was recently rumored to be having an affair with Mya, who strongly denied the rumor.
"There are no rings, if you haven't noticed," the source said. "For just a split moment, things got real for them and she was even talking about adding to the family."
The source also pointed out that Jay Z was out doing Jay Z and Beyonce was out doing Beyonce, and they made the "classic mistake" of thinking the birth of their daughter Blue Ivy "would change everything and help to rekindle the initial fire, and it didn't."
On the other hand, several fans who went to the couple's "On the Run" concert on July 18, Friday at Minute Maid Park suffered from massive congestion and confusing door policies, Chron has learned.
When the show started at 9 p.m., thousands of fans seemed to still be in line outside while those who are already inside were cheering Jay Z and Beyonce's tag-team approach to the show.
Beyonce performed "Upgrade U" and "Crazy in Love" while Jay Z sang "Show Me What You Got," "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" and "Tom Ford."
Moreover, some concert-goers were complaining about the price of the concert tickets and the cost of securing a good parking spot, KHOU reported.
"It's ridiculous. And we just paid $400 for the tickets," one woman handing $60 to a parking lot attendant said.
One driver who had just paid $60 for parking said, "I'm going to the ATM. I have no choice."
"She's a hometown girl and she brings out a crowd, so I was fully expecting it," another woman said.
To by-pass the parking problems, other fans took shuttles to Minute Maid Park from area hotels.
