Rihanna Dismisses Rumors of Jay-Z Fling
AOL
Posted: 2008-05-06 12:46:03
(May 6) - While Beyoncé and Jay-Z enjoy their first weeks of newlywed bliss, pop star Rihanna can't escape rumors of a past romance with the rapper.
The 'Umbrella' singer is quick to shoot down any talk of a past fling in this month's issue of Elle. "People know that it's not true,"she says. "I think it's kinda a cliché question ... so I don't even know why it's still addressed to this day. I get asked about it all the time and I'm like, 'You're asking, but you know the answer. I don’t even like to address it anymore."
All Smiles in Heels: See Elle Snap Rihanna
