From what I've seen, some have been sick of Beyonce and have gleefully been hoping for her to be knocked down a few pegs since she became the breakout star of Destiny's Child. She simply irks some people and there's really nothing a star can do to counteract it when a segment of the public is happy to filter everything you do in the least charitable way. Right. People have been hating on Beyonce for over a decade. This is nothing new. It's just the white/mainstream media catching up on stuff that's been talked about since forever.

I honestly think that people have become increasingly weary of her because of the Tumbler/IG accounts. When she was overexposed before people could always say "I'm tired of her but at least she never pimps out the details of her personal life for publicity." Now she keeps allowing these awful peaks behind the curtain that seem so defensive. I think she should retreat after this tour and at the very least re-strategize her brand. She will always have fans, why not find away to become slightly more appealing to everybody else? Because the fans she has are making her plenty of money and don't look to be going away any time soon. I have no data to back this up (and the field of Beyonce science is sadly lacking), but I doubt very many people have actually changed their opinions about her over time. I think the backlash people are referring to here is just the same people who never liked her amplifying their dislike as she has become more ubiquitous. And really, who is 'everybody else'? Even my mom could name and has bought a few of her songs and with all respect to my mom, that is REALLY saying something.

I don't think she entered this marriage believing he'd be faithful. What she expected was for him not to embarrass her with it. So basically, she married a guy, just like the guy, that married dear, old mom. Hopefully Beyonce's man isn't too much like her dad. Beyonce's dad Mathew Knowles hit with second paternity suit: report(Matthew Knowles' divorce was finalized in 2011.)

Well, so far Jay-Z just has the one confirmed kid- with her.

I think Jay has an older son. Then there's that rumor that he forced Free (from 106 and Park) to get an abortion.

There are all these rumors and really the only reason the rumors exist is to attempt to embarrass Beyonce. A lot of these alleged children predate his relationship with Beyonce- almost all of them predate the marriage. He's a rapper and this isn't the 14th century. There isn't really any reason he should have secret children.

He's a man and men have been having secret/not-so secret/outside of marriage children for centuries/hell likely the beginning of time. Many of the women rushing to shame Beyonce about her father and husband, have a "secret" sibling or step-child.

Having secret baby mommas coming out of the woodwork to finger Matthew Knowles would be more of a reflection on and embarrassment of Matthew than on and of Beyonce, no? If it turns out that Jay-Z does have a confirmed secret child from another woman, so what? At least it's not going to be like a Gwen Stefani/Daisy Lowe type of situation.

That's a crappy thing to do to your own child. I don't dislike Beyonce, but I think she's just as up her own ass as a lot of her peers are up theirs.

I don't dislike Beyonce, but I think she's just as up her own ass as a lot of her peers are up theirs. Can the mother of his child sue him? It'll be very easy to prove if the child isn't his. My guess is that he pays the mother for the child's expenses (and hers) and in exchange she keeps her mouth shut. Not so much since these rumors are out there, but at least she's not talking publicly about it. If she wasn't getting paid and had a child with a very wealthy celebrity there'd be nothing for her to lose by going publicly and a lot for him. Or at least for their picture perfect image.
