Kathy White was reportedly pregnant with Jay-Z’s child the same year Beyoncé announced her own pregnancy. Rumors are flying that Beyoncé’s announcement was just a distraction, and people are saying there are even bigger issues involving her, like an alleged divorce to avoid being named as a material witness or accomplice. It looks like the entertainment industry is in for a rough ride, with speculation that Jay-Z is now facing scrutiny following the mysterious death of his alleged mistress, Kathy White.
If you were on the internet in the early 2000s, you might remember the buzz about Jay-Z cheating on Beyoncé and getting another woman pregnant. Fast forward a few years, and the news broke that Jay-Z’s alleged mistress had suddenly died. Interestingly, Beyoncé announced her pregnancy just days before Kathy’s death, which overshadowed the news. For years, information about Kathy White’s death was hard to find, with the topic mysteriously quiet online.
C. Williams predicted that 2024 would be a year of reckoning for major figures in the entertainment industry, including Diddy and others. The silence on Kathy White’s case was finally broken when journalist Liz Croen shared on social media that she had spoken with Kathy shortly before her death, hinting at impending consequences for Jay-Z. Liz also gave credit to Kanye for exposing Jay-Z years ago. Meanwhile, internet sleuths have resurfaced old blog posts with eyewitness accounts of encounters involving Kathy White, Jay-Z, and Diddy.
So, what’s the deal with Kathy White and her supposed involvement with Jay-Z? And did Kanye really try to warn people that Jay-Z has the power to make others disappear? Let’s get into it. You know those rumors that Beyoncé wasn’t really pregnant and used a surrogate? I believe that too, and here’s why. They said this all came out, causing a huge fuss, and that’s why they silenced her.
Alright, let me give you some background in case you’re not familiar with the story about the woman who allegedly got between Jay-Z and Beyoncé and paid the ultimate price. In early September 2011, a few small news outlets and celebrity blogs reported the death of a young woman named Kathy Coriana “Cory” White. Some of these sources labeled her as Jay-Z’s alleged mistress. Here’s the twist: just days before Kathy died, Beyoncé announced she was expecting her first child. While the mainstream media was all over Beyoncé’s pregnancy news, Kathy’s death went almost unnoticed. Meanwhile, it seems like someone went on a mission to erase all traces of Kathy from the internet. But if you’re willing to dig deep, you can still find some of the original articles about her death.
For example, I found an article on the Hot 107 website titled “Jay-Z’s Alleged Mistress Dies at 28.” It says that fitness and beauty expert Kathy Coriana White was found dead in her Manhattan apartment on September 2nd. White, a Howard University graduate and CEO of her own public relations firm, White Label PR, reportedly died from an aneurysm. The article also mentions that Kathy had to deal with rumors throughout 2010 after gossip blogger Hollywood Street King exposed her alleged affair with Jay-Z. The rumors about Kathy and Jay-Z started after she and model Claudia Jordan were allegedly seen at a table with Jay-Z and Diddy at Las Vegas Tao nightclub.
I recently checked out the Hollywood Street King website for any dirt on Kathy White. Surprisingly, there are still three blog posts from 2010 that dive into the rumored affair between Jay-Z and Kathy. The first two posts, both dated August 31, 2010, claim that Jay-Z’s involvement with Kathy started before he married Beyoncé in April 2010. The articles also mention that Kathy is friends with Claudia Jordan, who has a reputation for stirring up trouble in relationships. Claudia was even rumored to have had an affair with actor Michael Jai White while he was still married to his wife, Courtney Chapman.
According to Hollywood Street King, the scoop about Jay-Z and Kathy came from sources close to Kathy’s friend, Jason Lee. Seeing Jason Lee’s name reminded me of his stunt last year, where he tried to blackmail Beyoncé by threatening to spill major secrets unless she helped him get an interview with Kelly Rowland. This makes me wonder if Jason knows the real story about Kathy and Jay-Z. Can you imagine if he had put that out there?
Their sources say that Kathy, who went by the nickname Cory, and Claudia made quite a scene in September 2009 at Tao nightclub in Las Vegas. They were spotted at a table with Jay-Z and Diddy, supposedly in town for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Marquez fight. Notably, Beyoncé was nowhere to be seen. And here’s the kicker: after Hollywood Street King reported on Kathy and Jay-Z, Kathy quickly deleted her Twitter and Facebook accounts
Let’s fast forward to September 2010. Hollywood Street King published another piece on the Kathy White saga, claiming that Jay-Z had a plan to keep things hush-hush. According to them, he asked Kathy to bring along some friends to make it look less like they were a couple. They also reported that Jay-Z took Kathy on a gambling trip to the Bellagio casino and had Cory’s friends stick close by while they played at the tables. Meanwhile, Beyoncé was conveniently on her I Am… World Tour, performing concerts in Australia in September 2009.
Things took a darker turn in September 2011. Initially, when Hollywood Street King broke the news about Jay-Z’s alleged fling with Kathy, most people brushed it off as typical celebrity gossip. But on September 2, 2011, Kathy White was found dead in her apartment at just 28 years old. By then, Beyoncé was pregnant with Blue Ivy and had announced her pregnancy at the VMAs on August 28, 2011, just five days before Kathy’s death. This timeline raised eyebrows, especially with rumors swirling that Beyoncé had used a surrogate and faked her pregnancy. Some speculated that Jay-Z might have gotten Kathy pregnant, and Beyoncé’s sudden pregnancy announcement was a distraction. Adding to the intrigue, Kathy died on September 2, and Beyoncé’s birthday is September 4. Coincidence?
Not if you ask journalist Liz Croen. Recently, she caused a stir on social media, suggesting Jay-Z was involved in Kathy’s death. Liz has been hinting at this for years. In July 2017, she tweeted about Kanye West’s rant against Jay-Z and Beyoncé, implying that Jay-Z might have been behind Kathy White’s death. Last week, Liz brought up her old tweet again, adding: “Note the date. Hey Jay-Z, I was the reporter who talked to your alleged mistress right before she died. I know everything. I know what you did. Go f*** yourself. Your time is coming. Maybe you and Diddy can share a prison cell together. Justice is coming.”
But Liz didn’t stop there. She also brought up some serious accusations against Jay-Z. According to her, Jay-Z stabbed record producer Lance Rivera in 1999, his nightclub 40/40 was known for bouncing checks, and he’s admitted to being a former dealer. He also confessed to shooting his brother when he was just 12 years old. There are reports that he punched a young female fan backstage at a concert in 1999, and in 2001, he was arrested for illegal possession. And then there’s the mysterious case of Kathy White.
As you can imagine, the Beyhive is now swarming all over Liz, calling her a conspiracy theorist and dragging her name through the mud. But there are also quite a few people backing Liz, saying that given everything we know about Jay-Z, nothing seems too far-fetched anymore. Considering his close ties with Diddy and how quickly he threw Kanye under the bus, many folks think Jay might be just as shady, or even worse, than Brother Love. One person commented, “Diddy is bad, very bad, but wait until Jay-Z gets exposed. He’s worse.” Another added, “Makes me think about when Jay and Kanye stopped talking and how everyone thought Ye was crazy.”
So, what’s your take on this Kathy White story? Do you think Liz and Kanye were trying to warn us that Jay-Z might have been involved in something sinister with his alleged mistress? Share your thoughts in the comments below
