Jay Z admits to cheating on Beyonce?

Jay Z has appeared to admit to extensive cheating on Beyonce in his latest album, 4:44.

Lyrics on the rapper's first record in four years seemingly confirm the rumours that emerged following the release of his wife's critically acclaimed Lemonade (2016).

On the title track of the new album, Jay Z repeatedly apologises for past indiscretions , while on another, he addresses the 2014 Met Gala where Beyonce's younger sister Solange launched herself at him in a lift. He sings: "If my children knew, I don't even know what I would do. If they don't look at me the same I would probably die of all the shame."

More lyrics include: "I apologise, often womanise, took my child to be born, see through a woman's eyes. Took for these natural twins to believe in miracles. Took me too long for this song. I don't deserve you."

He also admits he "toyed with your emotions because I was emotionless".
