Word on the street is that Beyoncé's marriage to Jay Z may be strained due to his friendship with Diddy, and the singer is worried their association will ruin her squeaky clean reputation.

Jay-Z is said to be bristling behind the scenes over wild accusations linking him to Combs' alleged misdeeds and confidants said he's publicly putting on a united front with Beyoncé as they scramble to protect their careers.
The power couple's lawyers recently issued a scathing letter to newsman Piers Morgan, forcing him to apologize after a guest on his self-named YouTube show put forth unsubstantiated claims about Beyoncé and her huisband.
Jay-Z, 54, rose through the ranks of New York City's 1990s rap scene alongside Diddy, who's currently facing federal sex trafficking, kidnapping and racketeering charges.
Lawmen are accusing Combs, 55, of hosting drug-fueled Freak Off orgies involving unwilling participants.
Sources said celebrities are now frantic to cover up their attendance at Diddy's shindigs – and Beyoncé fears her husband of 16 years may be linked to the sordid scandal.
Said a source: "Beyoncé is terrified Jay is going to be exposed as being complicit in – or at least knowledgeable of – Diddy's dirty deeds.
“She has friends saying she should not only distance herself from Jay but leave him altogether if things get too hot."
The high-profile pair appeared to shrink from the spotlight after federal agents raided Diddy's digs in Los Angeles and Miami on March 25 to gather evidence for an indictment.
Combs has pleaded not guilty but remains behind bars in Brooklyn after being denied bail while awaiting his May 2025 trial.
If convicted, the Bad Boy Records founder could get locked away for life.
Now, sources said the sprawling investigation threatens to expose Diddy's close associates, who may have been caught cavorting on camera.
“Hard Knock Life” rapper Jay-Z, who's made a fortune with his Roc Nation entertainment empire, has frequently collaborated with Combs.
