Earlier this week excerpts from the upcoming Beyonce tell-all book 'Becoming Beyonce' spilled the beans that the whole Jay Z Rihanna dating rumors had been started by Rihanna's former publicist to attract attention to her first single 'Pon De Replay [click here if you missed that].'
RiRi's former PR flack apologizes…
In an email to NY Daily News Jonathan Hay explains,
“I apologized to [Jay Z and Rihanna] ... this whole thing is very awkward.”
"I was blindsided by the news of ‘Becoming Beyoncé’ coming out and it couldn't come at a worse time for me. I'm currently releasing projects with my label Urban Hitchcock through Tidal, a company that is owned by Jay Z and Beyoncé ... Hopefully this news hasn't ruined that relationship for me.”
“The pr stunt that I did was out of desperation to help break ‘Pon de Replay’. It was reckless and I didn't think it was going to work. I was just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what would stick.”
