It seems the tension between Jay Z and Kanye West and
their wives Beyonce and Kim Kardashian is still very much
there as the Single Ladies star celebrated her man's 47th
birthday with a "super private" party at the weekend.
The 99 Problems hitmaker was joined by his friends and
family at Republique restaurant in Los Angeles on Saturday,
the evening before his big day, but the event was kept so
secret even the rapper and his wife, Beyoncé, were not seen
arriving or leaving the upmarket venue.
However, the Crazy in Love singer's mother Tina Lawson and
her husband Richard Lawson were seen arriving at the venue,
which was covered by dark green tarpaulin to keep prying
eyes away, as was her Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly
Rowland and husband Tim Witherspoon.
Meanwhile, actress Gwyneth Paltrow shared a throwback
photo of Jay with her and ex-husband Chris Martin's kids
Apple, 12, and Moses, 10, on Instagram.
Alongside the picture, she wrote: "Happy birthday #unclejay
(sic)". It is unclear as to whether Gwyneth was among those
at the party.
Two people who were noticeable by their absence were Kanye
West and Kim Kardashian, who were said to have not been
invited to the party.
Jay's birthday celebrations were much more low-key than
when his wife, with whom he has four-year-old daughter Blue
Ivy, turned 35 in September.
The Formation hitmaker held a Soul Train-themed bash and
partied until 5am with friends including her sister Solange
Knowles, former Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly and
Michelle Williams, June Ambrose, Carmelo Anthony, LaLa
Anthony, Swizz Beatz, Cassie, Chance the Rapper, P Diddy,
The-Dream, Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman, Alicia Keys,
Kendrick Lamar, Joan Smalls and Usher.
Beyonce later thanked her guests for coming, and singled out
her husband for a special thank you.
She said: "Thank you, everybody, for coming. You guys did
such an incredible job committing, and I'm so happy to be
here." She then said to Jay: "Thank you, baby."
