News Corp columnist Angela Mollard claims Jay-Z and Beyonce are “driving against” serious allegations firmly.

“They are at the top elite of American entertainment so for this to come out – this is a different sort of stratosphere of fame among the rap community,” she told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio.

“He’s regarded and sees himself very much as untouchable and now of course this allegation is against him – he’s certainly coming out hard and fast.”
