Singer-actress Mya Marie Harrison, famously known as Mya, has strongly denied her involvement in the rumor that Jay Z is cheating on his wife Beyoncé Knowles and that the rapper has been secretly dating and financially supporting her for years. On July 3, Thursday, a fan took to Instagram
to ask Mya about her rumored affair with the 44-year-old “99 Problems”
rapper asking, “Heard you and Jay Z had an 11-year affair. Are you his
side chick or nah?”
“Never did, never was, never will. Illegitimate, thirsty sources with
no facts and that’s the ‘media’ for you – especially today. I play
second to no one, pay my own bills, have my own label, own management
company, rely on God only and respect myself & marriage too much for
nonsense,” the 34-year-old “Case of the Ex” singer replied.
“False rumors are crafted for ratings & numbers. And miserable,
unhappy people need someone to judge to deter the attention away from
their own misery and feel better about their miserable lives. If they
did it to Jesus, they’ll do it to anyone. God bless,” Mya also wrote.
Few days prior to this, Knowles made headlines when she changed the
lyrics of her song “Resentment” during a performance in her “On the Run”
show in Cincinnati, Ohio, which apparently refers to her cheating
husband’s mistress, New York Daily News reported.
This was followed by an online blind item published by Crazy Days and Nights,
which was later on deleted, claiming that Knowles’ husband is having an
affair with a short-named R&B singer who has not made hits
recently, Daily Mail has learned.
Later on, Mya was named as the R&B singer linked to Jay Z.
Although Mya has already denied having a relationship with him, Jay Z
has yet to comment on the rumor, Newsday reported.
On the small screen, Mya joined the ninth season of “Dancing With The Stars” with Dmitry Chaplin, and the pair finished second in 2009 and appeared in “WWE Raw” in 2011.
On the big screen, she starred as Valerie in “The Heart Specialist”
and as herself in the “Sunset Trip” documentary. She is credited as Mya
Harrison in the 2014 film “Bermuda Tentacles.”
Jay Z and Beyonce have been married for six years and have a daughter named Blue Ivy.
