Diamond Ring Fuels Beyonce-Jay-Z Speculation

Published on 14/04/08

Speculation surrounding the rumoured wedding of singer Beyonce and rapper Jay-Z reached new heights when the former Destiny's Child star emerged in public with a large diamond ring last week.

Beyonce's diamond jewellery convinced some spectators at Jay-Z's show at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta that she is in fact the rapper's new wife, according to People magazine.

The Crazy In Love singer sat in the VIP section of the arena, where she stunned in a black dress, hoop earrings and - of course - flawless diamonds.

Jay-Z performed with Mary J Blige at the event, while Beyonce sat with R&B star Usher.

The two spectators reportedly jumped up to dance during track PSA, which features the lyrics: "I got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain."

During her time with Destiny's Child and her subsequent solo career, Beyonce has enjoyed numerous hits in the UK, including number one single Independent Woman.
