Beyoncé Is Pissed At Jay Z Over Kanye & Kim Drama

Beyoncé didn’t win the Grammy for Album of the Year, but she did get a consolation prize: an opportunity to tell her husband, “I told you so.”

Confidenti@l is told that the “Drunk in Love” star has been warning Jay Z that his volatile pal and collaborator Kanye West is a threat to the couple’s carefully crafted image. A source close to the pair says she was quick to point out that West proved her point with his antics during and after Sunday’s show.

Our insider says Bey was embarrassed after West’s taunts that Beck, whose “Morning Phase” won Album of the Year, “needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé.” The outburst led to endless comparison of Beck and Bey’s talents.

Another source says that during the broadcast, Bey “disappeared” while Jay Z, West, Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift were talking to one another.

“Beyoncé’s pissed at Jay Z for allowing Kimye so close to them,” says our industry insider. “Beyoncé and her team have worked very hard to put out the exact image they want out there — it’s super-controlled and managed and manicured. So for Kanye to jump up on stage without it being planned or part of a discussion is exactly the type of drama Beyoncé did not want with Kim and Kanye and the tabloid lives they live.”

The source says that by Monday barely anyone would have remembered that Beyoncé’s self-titled album didn’t win, but because of Kanye’s fireworks, “she’s been dragged into a national spotlight over whether she is as artistic as Beck, and it’s been pointed out all over the Web how many producers she has on her songs, and writers.”

“It just sort of overexposed her for no reason and kind of diminished the pedestal she sits on,” says the insider. “Jay is very loyal to Kanye, but it’s the Kim and Kanye drama that Bey has always requested they avoid,” the source added. “This isn’t a totally malicious or a big fight, more of an ‘I told you so’ from Bey to Jay.”

When Beck’s name was called rather than that of West’s friend Beyoncé, Kanye had begun to climb the stairs to the stage. It appeared to be a repeat of, or a joking reference to, his incident at the 2009 VMA Awards.

In that debacle, he took the mic from Swift to announce that Beyoncé should have won Swift’s award. Kanye returned to his seat but later told E!, “What happens is when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you’re disrespectful to inspiration.”

On Wednesday on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, West explained his latest stage invasion, saying he’d heard people screaming, “Kanye! Go do it!” “These were voices in my head,” he added. “Then I just walked halfway up the stage. What I really wanted to do was joke around with what had happened before, but I didn’t want to take away from Beck’s moment or the time he had to talk ... so I just walked back down. It was kind of a joke, like the Grammys themselves.”

In spite of the drama, the gang was all back together Thursday for the Kanye West and Adidas show, with Jay and Bey sitting front-row with Kardashian.
