Beyonce and Jay-Z Invited to Perform at the Royal Reception

By Christo Varghese Posted Apr 25th 2011 02:15AM

It has been reported that Prince William and Kate Middleton have asked Beyoncé and her husband rap legend Jay-Z to perform at their wedding reception.

According to The Daily Star, a source close to the royal couple said, "Both William and Kate are massive fans of Beyoncé and Jay-Z. They really wanted to make their big day even more special and what better way than by getting pop royalty to perform at the party?"

The source continued, "Will and Kate will have an official reception for hundreds of dignitaries before throwing a less formal bash for loved-ones. They both wanted to ditch traditions and make it more personal for them."

Beyoncé is currently in Europe where she is promoting her new single 'Girls Who Run the World' and Jay-Z is accompanying her.

The source is sure that it would be "highly likely" that the power couple would accept the invite to perform at the royal reception adding. "After all, who would turn down a once-in-a- lifetime gig like that?" the source said.

The palace has refused to neither confirm nor deny whether Beyonce and Jay-Z have accepted the invitation to perform.

A few days ago, a "selected" list of royals and celebs who are confirmed as wedding guests had been revealed.

Brits David and Victoria Beckham and Sir Elton John were no surprises, but the list also confirmed the attendance of director Guy Ritchie, singer Joss Stone, Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe and quirky 'Mr. Bean' star Rowan Atkinson.

I think they would put on an awesome show. Doesn't seem to fit the uptight "Royal British Wedding" vibe... but I guess they're trying to seem more modern.

You are a RACIST pinhead! Jealous much?

How does that make me racist? I'm just stating that he has huge lips, which he does. It's an observation, go cry to the ACLU if you want.

Its a publicity stunt by Jayzee and the Wig.
They dont go for Ghetto crap. The British know
real music. They invented it.

By Mike

Oh, I get it, because they're black. If they'd invited Britney Spears or something you'd question why they invited white trash.

If you didn't get it, you're obviously unfamiliar with jw's past posts.

By Bonbon

They probably begged to do it, just like Kanye begged to be invited.

How the heck do you think Beyonce has to beg for anything!

By Ernie D.

But still President Obama and his family were not invited.

I do not know what to say.

I am glad for Beyonce and Jay-Z though.

By Michele

She performed for Ghadaffi for 1 mil, so she's not such a "fine American."

Nodevout, you know nothing about rap. Not that this is any better, but Jay-Z raps about his hustling days on the streets of NY more than the things you mentioned. His references to female dogs are usually about police dogs attempt to find his product. He clearly has evolved from the life of his youth. Not many people would consider Beyonce as degrading herself for marrying a man who frequently tops Forbes list with a worth sometimes said to be near half of a billion dollars. Read Decoded then judge the man like you are God!

I meant "attempting to find..."
