It's hard to see past the flashy headlines and outrageousness seen on the red carpet. Yet, taking a deeper look into their relationship can say a lot.

QUESTIONABLE WORKING RELATIONSHIPS
During the "Becky with the good hair" fiasco, it wasn't just Rachel Roy that was seen as the prime suspect for finding out who allegedly had an affair with Jay-Z while he was married to Beyoncé. Rita Ora was also named in the accusations and it wasn't hard to find a number of photographs that showed the pair being a little too chummy for Beyoncé fans. Yet, the truth is that Jay-Z's status as a music mogul has put him on the frontlines when it comes to up-and-coming music artists and other stars in the music industry.
It seems like there are always new rumors about his questionable working relationships in the music industry, whether it's with Rita Ora or Rihanna.
With someone that is constantly being questioned about whether or not he is truly monogamous in his marriage, it wouldn't seem like a good idea to include even more children into the equation.

BEYONCÉ IS HARBORING A LOT OF ANGER
When most music artists are set to release a new album, there's often a huge buildup for publicity. Macy Gray infamously wore a dress with all of her album release information when presenting at an award show and every other music artist constantly seem to drop hints whenever possible. Yet, that wasn't the case with Beyoncé's Lemonade album since it was released without any fanfare at all. However, she broke all the guidelines and expectations because her album became a huge hit and it showed that Beyoncé must be the only artist that doesn't have to promote her albums in order for them to be successful.
Yet, there was a huge surprise in her album because it showed her in a way that had people wonder about whether or not she was truly in a happy marriage.
There seemed to be a huge amount of anger behind the scenes and that definitely doesn't seem like the happiest home for adding more children.

LACK OF TRUST
There are a number of different features within a successful relationship that people think of as extremely important. Yet, everyone seems to agree that having trust for one's partner is high up on the list. In order to truly be committed to a relationship, both individuals need to be able to trust one another and fully let down their guard around each other.
This is what makes Beyoncé and Jay-Z's relationship so controversial because of all the drama that has occurred in the headlines surrounding their relationship.
Cheating allegations and public fights have caused people to think of them as having a volatile relationship and there have been a number of photos that have shown Beyoncé looking a little suspect towards Jay-Z. The photos of her sneaking a look at his phone have really garnered some negative attention because it shows that she may not have trust in him.

DON’T MESS WITH THE BEY HIVE
In this world of social media allowing fans to interact directly with their favorite stars, it shouldn't come as a surprise that celebrities have started to have an all-new type of relationship with their fans. Taylor Swift famously allowed a huge group of her fans inside her home and baked them cookies while promoting her newest album and Lady Gaga refers to her fans as her "monsters." Yet, no one can out top Beyoncé and her Bey Hive.
Her Bey Hive is incredibly loyal and a bit scary when anyone says or does something that isn't in line with the complete adoration of Beyoncé.
When Kid Rock made a comment about how he's not so much into Beyoncé because his type is "white chicks with big t*ts," the Bey Hive descended on his social media feed and flooded it with bees and basically shut it down. Rather than calming down the Bey Hive, Beyoncé just let it all go down and many people felt like her silence was feeding the fire.

TIDAL FIASCO AND FINANCIAL ISSUES
When Jay-Z embarked on a new endeavor to start his own music streaming service, there were high hopes for it. The world has started to see the importance of streaming services since music sales in the traditional sense have completely fallen in recent years. Yet, there have been a number of controversies regarding his TIDAL service.
Artists that were contracted to only release their music through TIDAL were underwhelmed by sales and the details surrounding TIDAL's financial struggles have caused some to wonder whether or not Jay-Z is truly a business genius.
To make things even worse, Jay-Z made a number of harsh comments about how the public needs to support their black artists but a photo of his entire Tidal company didn't include a single black employee.

SHADINESS AND LACK OF PLAYDATES
It's commonly thought that celebrities have quite a small inner circle and it's especially true for those with children. While there are some celebrities that roll around in giant entourages, things certainly change once celebrities reach a particular age or a certain tax bracket. In the case of Jay-Z and Beyonce, it's interesting to see how small their inner circle is and the people that have been ousted from it. Ever since Beyoncé's parents went through a tumultuous divorce, it seems like Mathew Knowles isn't in the inner circle any longer.
There was a time when Jay-Z seemed like he had a true friendship with Kanye West, but the public started to question how close they actually were when West started divulging some of his grievances during his stage performances.
He claimed that they never invited him over for playdates with their kids and that says a lot about them as a family, as well as the lack of friends that Blue Ivy and the twins might or might not have.
