Beyonce and Jay Z Divorce Rumors: Leaked 'Ring Off' Song Points to Trouble in Paradise for Couple
A leaked Beyoncé track may have those pesky divorce rumors reigniting around the singer.
A short snippet of a track titled "Ring Off" from Knowles' upcoming deluxe set version of her latest album was leaked online this week. The lyrics of the released song tell the story of a relationship destroyed by infidelity.
In the smash-hit "Single Ladies," the pop diva famously sang that "if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it."
However, this track seems to tell the next chapter, as the ring is now off, and the woman "smiles through the tears" as she faces her suspicion of her partner's betrayal.
"In the mirror you would stare / And say a prayer like, 'I wish he said I'm beautiful'/ I wish it didn't hurt at all /I don't know how I got here, I was once the one who had his heart," the lyrics read, according to Billboard. "Until you had enough, then you took that ring off/ You took that ring off," Beyoncé sings in the track's chorus...So tired of the lies and trying and fighting and crying / You took that finger."
Toward the end of "Ring Off," Beyoncé's outlook on the relationship seems to look forward.
"Now the fun begins / Dust yourself off," the singer croons on a triumphant note.
The track puts added fire to an already lit fire of speculation that Beyoncé may be talking about her own marriage to rapper and entrepreneur Jay Z. This year, there was abundant speculation about the health of their marriage when an elevator security tape was leaked of Beyoncé's sister, Solange, attacking Jay Z while attending a Met Gala after-party in May.
Although the scandal was technically squashed when all three parties issued a joint statement of forgiveness and family moving forward, rumors swirled for months that the couple was on the edge of breaking up. The two traveled the world together with their On The Run tour and eventually snuffed out negative messaged when the two reportedly renewed their vows a few weeks after the tour ended in Paris.
"Ring Off" and another song leaked online "7/11" are from Beyoncé Platinum Edition Box Set, which will be released Nov. 24.
