Jay-Z has admitted cheating on Beyonce for the first time in an interview about his life.

He told The New York Times Style Magazine that he’d built up walls due to issues from his childhood, which led to him shutting down and infidelity.

“The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself,” he said.

The couple had both hinted about it in their music.

“You have to survive,” he said. “So you go into survival mode, and when you go into survival mode, what happens? You shut down all emotions.

“So, even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect. In my case, like, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: infidelity.”

He hinted that they could have got divorced but he’d had therapy to help him deal with his past experiences.

“You know, most people walk away, and, like, divorce rate is like 50% or something ’cause most people can’t see themselves.”
