Carmen Bryan, 52, has once again opened up about her nine-year affair with Jay-Z, sparking renewed controversy surrounding past allegations against him. On Instagram, she criticized fans who continue to defend the rapper, referencing Kanye West’s lyrics from “Monster.” Jay-Z has denied the accusations, labeling them a “blackmail attempt.”
Carmen, who was in a relationship with Jay-Z from 1995 to 2004, revealed that she became pregnant during their affair but tragically miscarried. The relationship ended after Jay-Z released the song “Supa Ugly,” which detailed their intimate moments, causing Carmen to lose respect for him. The affair also created tension with her fiancé, Nas, the father of her daughter Destiny. In her memoir It’s No Secret, Carmen recounted the fallout and her eventual confession to Nas about the affair.
