Jay-Z and Kanye, who collectively call themselves “The Throne” and will drop an album called “Watch the Throne” on August 8, are reportedly engaged in some backstage drama as they prep for their upcoming tour together.

Insiders tell the New York Post that Kanye is pushing for blowout concerts with “next-level production” and an accompanying bank-busting price of $400k per show, while Jay-Z, who has already gotten a long-term advance from ticket-seller Live Nation that has to be repaid, has a much more conservative bottom line in mind.

“Jay-Z can’t deal with Kanye,” one source said. “Jay is a stone-cold businessman … But Kanye wants to upstage rock stars … He doesn’t care about costs.”

It’s gotten so bad that last week, the superstars performed on the same night at the same venue — and never took the stage together. “They didn’t even go out together after the show,” an attendee said.

“Jay-Z is fed up with West’s antics,” claimed yet another snitch. “He doesn’t even want to be around him.”

But during a visit to a New York radio station Monday morning, Jay-Z called Kanye his “brother” and said the story is overblown:

“Yes, we get on each other’s nerves, but that’s part of pushing each other. We push each other. The people who have a problem with Kanye or myself are the people that are complacent in life. People don’t like to be pushed. It’s, like, annoying. It’s a thing when people are pushing you to be greater, and we push each other to be greater. So of course there are times when we’re in the studio, we’re yelling, but that’s about it.”



Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z were spotted out on the balcony of their hotel in Perth, Australia on Sunday (December 19).

Bey and Jay enjoyed the oceanfront view while cuddling up as curious passerbys and paparazzi gathered on ground level to catch a glimpse of the power couple.

The pair has been spending some time in Australia as the 41-year-old rapper continues tour efforts with U2 – most recently performing at Patersons Stadium on Saturday night.

During his set, Jay-Z treated the audience to a range of hits including “Empire State of Mind,” “Forever Young” and “Run This Town” before closing things out while joined by Linkin Park for a rockin’ rendition of “Numb”.

Beyonce has just made her hubby Jay-Z the happiest birthday boy! The gorgeous songbird has dropped a jaw-dropping $2 million( R14 million)  on a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for his 41st birthday!

Jay-Z has been a sports car enthusiast for years! The rapper is an ambassador for GMC and is already the owner of a Maybach 62S, a Ferrari F430 Spider and a Pagani Zonda Roadster.

As for the Bugatti, it’s the fastest car in the world going from zero to sixty in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 255mph (410km/h).

Spending $2 million on a sweet car like this is nothing for the superstar couple …. considering that combined, they earned over $200 million (R1.4 billion) this year alone!!!

Other Bugatti owners: Tom Cruise, Chris Brown, Ralph Lauren and X-Factor’s Simon Cowell. Cha-ching!
