Producer L.A. Reid tells all in his juicy new memoir.
Jay
Z, his wife Beyonce, and
his music mentee, Rihanna, were
famously entangled in a love triangle.
But before the romance
drama, the rapper’s better half was the Barbadian singer’s biggest supporter,
producer L.A. Reid reveals in his .
At
an industry showcase in 2005, Rihanna sang for an A-list audience including Jay
Z and Beyonce.
Reid claims he only realized how big of a star Rihanna could
become when the 34-year-old B’Day songstress spoke up on the budding star’s
behalf following the performance.
“That
Rihanna girl,” Beyonce gushed, according to Reid. “She’s a beast!”
The
admiration was mutual, the iconic producer claims.
When Rihanna first auditioned in Reid’s office, she chose a
Beyonce song for her opening number.
“I
saw her determination,” Reid recalls. “Her commitment.”
A
year later, as Rihanna, then just a teen, blew up the airwaves, rumors swirled
that she was hooking up with Jay Z, 46.
Beyonce couldn’t help but
believe the stories, biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli wrote in his recent tell-all, Becoming
Beyonce.
“Beyonce wasn’t sure she could trust Jay when it came to his
adamant denials,” he writes. “She couldn’t help but be skeptical.”
According to the author, the longtime couple even got into a blowout fightat
his New York City club, 40/40, over his stunning
protégé.
