Jay Z endorses new Government Police Relations Plan in New York

Rapper wrote a statement singing praises for new plan

"Solange is Beyonce and Jay Z's surrogate, and they want her to carry another child for them but Solange doesn' want to": That's quite enough internet for everyone today, thank you.

"Solange attacked Jay Z after he said he was going to Rihanna's party without Beyonce": According to that enduring pillar of morality the New York Daily News, Solange kicked off at Jay after he said he'd be heading to Rihanna's Met Ball after party without his wife. Aren't we all underestimating the maturity of these people? Jay Z is 44, Solange is 27 and Beyonce may or may not be 30. Squabbling about parties is the domain of teenagers, not grown adults.

"Solange attacked Jay Z because he won't help further her career": Solange is not as famous or successful as Beyonce, and never will be. We all know this. However, her last EP True was a critical success and cemented Solange's status as one of the coolest stars in R&B. She's also a fashion icon and, let's face it, has a pretty sweet life. Plus, if she was going to kick off about Beyonce's husband not helping her, wouldn't she have done it when Bey and Jay first shacked up around 2002?

"Solange and Jay-Z went jewellery shopping on Tuesday": The day after the lift footage emerged, a "source" told TMZ the pair stopped at New York store Mr Flawless, where they were shown around by Mr Flawless himself, and "browsed quietly". We're willing to bet our life savings that this "source" is Mr Flawless himself. He sure sounds like the kind of character you can rely on.

"Solange has deleted all of her photos of Beyonce from Instagram!": A] Who in the name of Blue Ivy noticed this, and shouldn't they possibly get a life? B] Supposedly reputable publications such as TIME and CNN reported this as Very Important News. This isn't news, these are social media updates.

Hip-hop icon Jay Z is speaking up about his support behind Governor Andrew Cuomo’s plan to improve police relations in New York.

Cuomo’s plan includes recruiting more minorities into law enforcement, providing race and ethnic data on police actions and bulletproof vests and bulletproof patrol car windows to be provided.

After many such as Priscilla Gonzalez, organising director of Communities United for Police Reform criticising his speech, rapper Jay Z has now spoken out in support of the plan.

Capitol Confidential has shared a statement from the rapper that reads: “The criminal justice reform package proposed by Governor Cuomo today is a huge step forward in restoring fairness, protection, sensitivity and accountability for all under our justice system. I commend Governor Cuomo for his bold leadership in taking this issue head on at this critical time. This package presents comprehensive steps to protect and improve relations amongst all citizens. We cannot be divided, as every single human being matters. Together, we can move forward as a community, with mutual respect for each other and continue to make this great state stronger than ever before.”

Earlier this month, Jay Z appeared in a new short for the Oprah Winfrey network in which he discussed the cultural impact of hip-hop. Take a look at the video below.
