All I ever wanted was the world
She “groomed” him. She opened doors the camel couldn’t get through. He was Mr Knowles for a longtime.
Omg I forgot he was going with Knowles-Carter for a while

Because women didn’t get to work in the past nor go to college. Plenty of “high value women” are spending 18-28 in school, starting a career, and beginning long term relationships that lead to marriage from 28-35. Stop living 60+ years in the pastThey do, but think about how it used to be, women went from their dad, to their husband back in the g, it’s not like that now
“He was 38 and she was 16”The goalposts movement
Wasn’t she underaged when they first met![]()
I understand that, what would you call a damn near 40 yo with a 19 yo
I’d say otherwise, 1 out of 4 block women marry, that’s low, i think because the world is at our fingertips so you have people saying hit me with a 16 because they are convinced they can get 21, everyone doesn’t get 21 but that’s another topic, marriages are down thoughBecause women didn’t get to work in the past nor go to college.

there's a lot that goes into lower rates of marriage for black women...not sure what that has to do with the overall reality that HVW who do get married don't usually jump from HS into marriage these daysI’d say otherwise, 1 out of 4 block women marry, that’s low, i think because the world is at our fingertips so you have people saying hit me with a 16 because they are convinced they can get 21, everyone doesn’t get 21 but that’s another topic, marriages are down though
It is a lot in marriage rates, but I’d say a man with money isn’t exactly looking for an established in her career/age womanthere's a lot that goes into lower rates of marriage for black women...not sure what that has to do with the overall reality that HVW who do get married don't usually jump from HS into marriage these days
Groomed her to what, become bigger than him? Y'all nikkas weird man he probably seen her fine ass and was like YUP streets is done
Of course, being linked with Jay Z opens doors, but all that"grooming" talk idk sounds like GenZ babble to me
All grooming is sick. If she was her own person & was figuring herself out she wasn’t groomed. Someone that’s grooming you doesn’t allow you any room to grow, like those men that don’t want their wives to go to college, to have a career, to have money outside of them. Etc Jay z just stood back and let Beyoncé be herself. That’s not grooming. I think the only reason people are even using the word grooming for them is because of the age gap but 12 years isn’t even a lot imo.
Of course he fukking groomed her.
If your 19yr old daughter walked into the house with a 30 yr old man you gon be keekeeing it up?![]()
Brotha at 30 i was not looking for anyone under 23-24Dusty nikkas have ruined the dynamic. So it makes sense to call it grooming, but it sucks for average men who actually mean well.
19 is grown and when she leaves you can't say shyt. Better a successful 30 yr old man than a 22 yr street bum![]()
