Why Bey & Jay Z Skipped Kimye's Wedding

 

It was the perceived snub that threatened to overshadow the fairytale wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Now new reports say Beyonce and Jay Z skipped the Italian nuptials because Queen Bey did not want to be overshadowed by the bride.

According to the report they 'shunned Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s wedding because it was too low-rent for the Jay Z/Beyoncé brand.'


A source New York Post: 'They are guarding like hell their status.

'Beyoncé wasn’t going to allow a Kardashian to socially climb her. And Jay didn’t want Kanye with Kim  - he thinks it’s bad for business. 

'I think Jay lost a little respect for Kanye there.'

Instead of travelling to Paris and then on to Florence with the wedding party in May,  Mr and Mrs Carter opted for a quiet weekend in the Hamptons wit their daughter Blue Ivy.

After the ceremony which drew worldwide publicity, the Grammy award winner tweeted: 'Wishing you a lifetime of unconditional love. God bless your beautiful family.'

Before the wedding, radar online reported that Beyonce dreaded the thought of the lavish affair.

'Jay and Beyoncé’s wedding was shrouded in secrecy and extreme lengths were made to make sure their wedding was an intimate affair for friends and family, only,' an insider told Radar in March. 

'This will be the complete opposite. She thinks it’s just tacky.'

Meanwhile Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner played the diplomacy card:  'I just assumed they were working,' she told  Australia radio station KIIS 106.5 FM last month.
