Beyoncé and Jay Z will remain silent about Diddy

Those close to Diddy include singer and actress Beyoncé and her rapper husband Jay Z. The two have often been seen partying with Diddy and there are several pictures of them hanging out. Fans are speculating whether the celebrity couple will make a statement following Diddy’s arrest. However, In Touch Weekly quotes a source close to Beyoncé and Jay Z as saying that the coupe will remain “silent.”

The source then adds, “Few, if anyone, have rushed to Diddy’s defense. The last thing Bey and Jay want to do is drag themselves into this, so they’re going to stay quiet.” The couple has reportedly used their lawyer, Alex Spiro, to keep the rumors and rumors under control. Spiro recently threatened to sue Piers Morgan over his interview with Jaguar Wright, which claimed that Jay-Z and Beyoncé had even more “victims” than Diddy.

Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty to charges filed against him last month.
