Fans Are “Creeped” Out by the Beginnings of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Relationship in a Video of Beyoncé Bragging About Her Love For Him.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé are one of Hollywood’s most powerful couples, with a combined net worth of nearly $2 billion.

Their relationship has been fodder from some of their most celebrated work, most notably Beyoncé’s “Lemonade,” and Queen Bey has been candid about the influence Jay-Z has had on her career.

But for some fans, their relationship just doesn’t sit right. Namely because, at it’s outset, Beyoncé was just barely out of her teens, while Jay-Z was in his 30s.

And a resurfaced clip of a younger Beyoncé gushing about Jay-Z at an awards show has reignited a conversation about whether she might have been groomed by the rapper in the early 2000s.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s 12-year age gap has struck some fans as inappropriate.

The couple met in 2000 when Beyoncé was 19 and Jay-Z was 31 and began dating in 2001

Fans have been discussing this issue for years, but a recently resurfaced clip of Beyoncé at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards has brought it back to the fore.

The clip, taken from Beyoncé’s acceptance speech for the first annual Millennium Award following her performance of “Run the World (Girls),” shows the singer gushing about her husband.

“I love me some Jay-Z,” she says effusively as the rapper looks on from the crowd

Of course, their relationship would hit the rocks some five years later when Jay-Z cheated on Beyoncé with an unnamed woman.

That affair became the basis for Beyoncé’s 2016 “Lemonade” visual album, on which she infamously identified the woman as only “Becky with the good hair.”

Given the ways things turned out, the clip has struck many fans as a “red flag” for their relationship, especially since Jay-Z barely reacts to the tribute.

“They gone have to leave this earth before we know the truth about their relationship,” one TikTok user quipped.

But the clip also reminded others of the uncomfortable history of their relationship.

Fans have accused Jay-Z of grooming Beyoncé while she was still in her teens.

“Beyoncé was groomed and that man is a creep,” wrote one fan on Twitter.Jay Z Says His Marriage to Beyoncé Was Not 'Built on the 100 Percent Truth'  | Glamour

Beyoncé has said they met when she was 18 and began dating when she was 19. But fans have dug up photos they say show they met as early as 1997, when Beyoncé was just 16.

And Beyoncé later told Oprah Winfrey she and Jay were “friends for a year and a half” before they started dating, leading to further speculation that the relationship began while Beyoncé was still a minor.

Regardless, while a 19-year-old dating a 32-year-old is not technically underage—and didn’t even raise an eyebrow in 2003—Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s pairing would certainly be controversial today.

But even Beyoncé’s own comments about the relationship have struck some as revelatory about inappropriate dynamics.

In her 2013 HBO documentary “Life Is But A Dream,” Beyoncé toasts Jay-Z on his 37th 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day for having “taught me how to be a woman,” a common some have found uncomfortably revealing.
