That Beyonce Knowles sure knows how to spoil a man.
The 29-year-old “Single Ladies” singer gifted her husband of nearly three years Jay-Z with a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for his 41st birthday last week. Not only is the whip the fastest road car on the road, it boast a price tag of more than $1.5 million.

Kanye West’s public rant on NBC’s The TODAY Show last week has left fans divided, but at least two of the biggest names in the Rap World are voicing their support for the self-assessed egomaniac.
The “Golddigger” rapper found himself at the center of controversy — So what else is new? — when former George W. Bush hit the promo track ahead of the release of his latest book Decision Points. Bush told NBC anchor Matt Lauer that one of the low points of his presidency was when West said Bush doesn’t “care about Black people” in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In the wake of West’s TODAY interview with Lauer regarding his five-year-old comments branding Bush a racist, Russell Simmons and Jay-Z want everyone to know they’re 100 percent behind Kanye. Def Jam mogul Simmons wrote an open letter on his Global Grind blog titled, “Dear Kanye…An Open Letter By Russell Simmons,” that clearly states in a very long letter exactly what he thinks of Kanye’s latest outburst.
In “It Really Ain’t That Serious, Bruh” News, MC Hammer has made good on his promise to attack Jay-Z for his dissing him on Kanyeezy’s “So Appalled” last month. The early ’90s hip-hop savior has fired a return shot on “Better Run Run” by taunting the Pride of the Marcy Houses with with lookalikes and multiple references to those dusty devil worship rumors.
Let’s just say “Too Legit 2 Quit” it ain’t….
“Yo Jay I gotta reason to doubt/if I knock on your door would you come on out/If I knock on your door that mean I’m knockin you out/If I knock on your door boy I’m bustin you in your mouth…”
Hammer, sit’cho ass down…..
MC Hammer just dropped the trailer for “Better Run Run,” his upcoming record that takes Jay-Z to task for comments made by Hov on Kanye West’s “So Appalled.”
Rihanna has severed ties with her longtime manager, Marc Jordan, and signed with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Management instead.

It seems Beyonce found the right man to “Put a Ring On It.”
Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z is on course to be a billionaire by his 45th birthday, according to a new study by Forbes Magazine.
