If Jay Z presumed that life was slowly getting back to normal after the explosive reaction to wife Beyoncé’s new album “Lemonade” – he thought wrong.
His “99 Problems” combined are unlikely to cause as much stress as the content of rumored mistress Rachel Roy’s private emails being made public.
Fashion designer Rachel — who appeared to out herself as “Becky with the good hair” from Beyoncé’s track “Sorry” — has told pals that personal information in files on her computer has been “stolen” in a huge security breach.
So Jay and Beyoncé are bracing themselves for more potentially damaging revelations.
A source said: “Rachel has confided to friends about the stolen emails.
“She has no idea how they’ve been swiped but is aware how much harm they can cause.
“From a personal level, she wanted to distance herself from the furor after initially playing up to the link as Jay Z’s rumored other woman.
“But now she fears the spotlight will be well and truly back on her, Jay Z and Beyoncé if these conversations end up online.”
Rachel has claimed other famous married men she had relations with could also be uncovered via the emails.
A day after playing up to Beyoncé’s lyric “He only want me when I’m not there/He better call Becky with the good hair” in a social media post, seemingly taunting the singer, Rachel canceled a public appearance, citing a “family emergency.”
She then made a public statement dismissing herself as Jay Z’s “other woman” after incurring the wrath of Beyoncé’s army of fans — much like the other rumored “Becky” suspect, Rita Ora — and kept a low profile.
Rachel’s link with Jay Z goes back to the mid-’90s when she was an intern at Rocawear, the clothing company the rapper co-owned with pal Damon “Dame” Dash, whom she later married.
Beyoncé has apparently been wary of Rachel’s presence, which is believed to be the reason behind her no-show at Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s wedding in 2014.
