Jay-Z Working on $150 Million Touring Deal for Beyonce

Jay-Z is looking out for his wife and the whole Carter family big time with a new deal he’s trying to put in the works. Since Beyonce has a joint management deal with her husband’s label Roc Nation and Live Nation, Jay has approached Live Nation to sign a $150 million touring deal for Bey.

Jay-Z is said to believe the exclusive shows on the world tour would be a complete sell-out, saying demand for Bey hasn’t dropped at all since she’s taken a small break to have Blue Ivy, but Live Nation may feel a bit differently. A source told the New York Post:

“Just weeks after the birth of Blue Ivy, Jay met with Live Nation to discuss a tour for Beyoncé, he wanted a deal worth about $150 million, but they countered with a lower offer.”

Live Nation might also just be trying to get the most bang for their buck because any show Bey puts on is pretty much guaranteed to sell out, and people are probably more anxious than ever to see if she’s still got it post-baby. In 2008, Jay signed a $150 million, 10-year deal with Roc Nation for recordings, tours, and entertainment ventures so I respect him trying to get the same money for his wife.

What do you think? Is $150 million too much to ask or does Bey demand that type of deal?

    All of these celebrities are overpaid if you ask me, number one. Beyonce is sitting on so much money, she wouldn’t have to work another day of her life if she wanted. I think she just needs to just chill out for a while and worry about raising baby Blue.

    I could do without her for a few years. Give us a break and time to miss her instead of shoving her down our throats

      I could do without hearing from her for at least 5 – 10 years.  She come out with a record and a video every few months it seems.  Enough already!

    Its ridiculous when our doctors and policeman are saving lives and risking their own to make PEANUTS in comparison.

      & our teachers who care & educate our children (our future) are making even less.

      I totally agree. It is so sad where we put our priorities.  Those that are here to protect and serve, teach our children, and guard our prisoners, and then wonder why they are corrupt.  They damn near have to be to live normal lives.

        Thank You…I have always said that our society is totally screwed up and put emphasis on the wrong things….I don’t care if they are entertainers…Paying them that type of money just for a few hours of leisure time is ridiculous to me.

    They talk a lot of ish about Jay’s past; however, he truly loves his wife and it shows from business deals to the way he treats her.  I really like this couple!
