Music snitches are dishing several tidbits on Jay-Z, his GF Beyonce, and the likelihood of Beyonce ending up on a label headed by her long-time man.

New York insiders claim that Jay would like to bring Bey aboard at Def Jam: “[he] has been trying to get her to Def Jam for awhile. He would love to oversee her career – he kind of does anyway.”

Hov’s interest in bringing the singer to Def Jam will make it very costly for Sony BMG (Beyonce’s current homeplate) to keep the bootylicious singer around:

“Sony has had a bad year – all the hit acts, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and the ‘America Idol’ kids, are all on BMG,” the source told the NYC media. “They can’t afford to lose Beyoncé. They’ll probably mortgage the farm to keep her. Which means a lot more money for Beyoncé – and Jay-Z if they get married.”
