Who’s the bigger celebrity???
Posted by Media Outrage on September 2, 2008
We must say we’re loving your input in the Who’s the bigger celebrity? category. Today our question is between two of music’s biggest acts and husband and wife teams, Beyonce and Jay-Z. Who would you say is the bigger celebrity (more famous)? And why? Let us know!

Jay. I love my girl B, but Jay’s got the whole rap game on lock and yt people are fascinated with him.
September 2, 2008 at 4:41 pm
I got to say JayZ myself. Although Beey got her thing and is continuing it in grand fashion, JayZ got it on lock. She might surpass him though.
September 2, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Jay, hands down!
September 2, 2008 at 4:45 pm
It’s Jay he’s been out longer and the paper is much longer. I love Beyonce though

CAMEL FACE IS THE WINNER!!
September 2, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Jay-Z he been out since 96′
September 2, 2008 at 4:50 pm
I think Beyonce is more famous than Jay. he even said it on his Kingdom Come album on track 10 Hollywood.
September 2, 2008 at 4:52 pm
It’s definitely Jay bee is big but nah jigga got it on lock
September 2, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Beyonce is more famous. Just do a google search on both people. Beyonce is bigger
September 2, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Jay Z
September 2, 2008 at 4:57 pm
I think Beyonce is more famous even though Jay-Z has been out longer.
September 2, 2008 at 4:59 pm
I gotta say, I have no idea! I know ppl who love both of them and buy every album either one of them puts out! I also want to add, I am NOT one of those ppl.

Beyonce is way more famous than Jay-Z.
September 2, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Bey is the bigger celebrity, Jayz does’nt even come close. As a matter of fact i think he is riding her coat tail. She brings her A game everytime she steps on a stage. I can’t say the same for her acting ability, but she can hold her on with stage presence,as for Jay i don’t know his music and the little i do know it is forgettable
September 2, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Beyonce
September 2, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Jay-Z has been around longer, but Beyonce is more famous! Beyonce Headlines and video Clips

He is winning large on one side of the coin and she is definitely holding her own side down.,,,but it is still “All In The Family”……
September 2, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Beyonce is the bigger celebrity.
September 3, 2008 at 12:23 am
I think at this point, it’s a even between the two
September 3, 2008 at 12:38 am
Beyonce is the bigger celebrity. Its simple to figure out these questions about who is bigger. It comes down to cross over appeal. They have both been in movies but he was in Stae property movie or somthing and he didnt even have a line in it, oh and that Paper Soldier Movie, again no lines just a Cameo. Beyonce hands down, a land slide.
September 3, 2008 at 12:41 am
2020 you really think so? Jay’s been out killing the game before this broad was even walking and talking
September 3, 2008 at 12:42 am
Not to mention 12 albums. A boat load of videos. World tours. And everybody’s rockin’ his clothes.
September 3, 2008 at 12:43 am
good question…I have to say Beyonce. I’m 23 and until Beyonce got with Jay-Z i had never even heard of the guy lol.
September 3, 2008 at 12:44 am
Cyndy no offense but you do realize that just because you had never heard of Jay doesn’t mean that he’s not a bigger celebrity than her right? lol
September 3, 2008 at 12:48 am
Beyonce might have the bigger celebrity but Jay could buy her whole life with the stroke of his black card.
September 3, 2008 at 12:51 am
yes Udamnright i do realize that doesn’t make her more famous lol. Im just saying I always see Beyonce in magazines, TV, commercials, movies, and just feel that more people know who she is than him. I will actually ask the question tomorrow at my job.
September 3, 2008 at 12:55 am
DT you do realize that the only reason Jay-z has more money than her is becasue he’s been out way longer. Give it a few years as in maybe 4 or 5 and she will catch up or surpass him.
He made $82million last year. She made $80million last year. So she’s poised to overtake him.
Plus she is in way more DEMAND than him. His career is just dangling on by a string. yes he can continue to drop albums and sell out concerts but his albums barely reach platinum status anymore.
She has a very healthy movie career a head of her, not to mention she can drop like 7 or 8 more albums and still kill it. She has more endorsements so she;’s getting ready to wear the pants in that marriage real soon lol.
September 3, 2008 at 6:33 am
@ Udamnright Say: Yeah bruh, Im not saying that she is more talented but a lot of his success come from his incredible business skills, and unfortunately, business skills dont add to your celebrity. He will survive in a world of sharks and he will keep that bread coming in well after their careers have dried up but more people across the globe knows her name without it having to be on her picture. I know what Jay has accomplished and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him because I know what he had to do to get where he is now. But females from 6 to 75 and males from 5 to 85, know who she is no matter where they are from. She is just has a wider fan base thats it dogg.
September 3, 2008 at 12:13 pm
2020VIZN that is exactly what i was telling my co-workers when we read this yesterday. They were arguing me down hard (all men of course who think it is Jay). Her name alone yes is way more known than Jay-z’s.
September 3, 2008 at 12:44 pm
@ Heather says: Im glad we see eye to eye on this. Lets me know that I am not the only person that knows the difference between who we as black identify with vs what the rest of the world identifies with
September 3, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I am going with Bey. I say so because, even though he made more by a measley few million, he has side deals she does not.
We said more famous, didn’t we? She is known more across the globe as she is a mainstream artist and Jay is…HIP HOP!
Yes, more people have embraced our creation that is HIP HOP but not enough for Beyonce to not be in the lead. She is a POP/R&B princess and the WORLD loves her music, movies and clothes.
She has given the World her family and her pains and trials growing up in the industry to become a multi million dollar SOLO artist. A movie will be made about her life.
Whether you like it or not, she there wit’ it!
September 3, 2008 at 3:56 pm
I still say it’s Jay Z…I mean the chic didn’t even exist when he was selling millions! Now, as far as her “Movie career” is concerned..it doesn’t exist!! The chic can’t act for sh*t!!..In “Dreamgirls” she was outshined by a newcomer (in both Acting and Singing)..Her fashionline sucks major ass and I really don’t see too many dept. stores carrying it..let alone people actually wearing it..where as Rocawear is pretty much EVERYWHERE..I just don’t see it..just my opinion though!
September 3, 2008 at 3:59 pm
LOL @ “Now, as far as her “Movie career” is concerned..it doesn’t exist!! The chic can’t act for sh*t!!..In “Dreamgirls” she was outshined by a newcomer (in both Acting and Singing)..Her fashionline sucks major ass”

Preach Random!!!
September 3, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Beyonce is more famous than Jay-Z. So many people do not listen to that god awful thug music of his but everyone can stand to hear great singing from a sexy chanteuse. She’s definitely more famous than him.
September 3, 2008 at 4:51 pm
@Todd…not everyone finds her voice to be oh so ‘pleasant’..I personally don’t care too much for it..
September 3, 2008 at 4:57 pm
who’s voice do you find pleasant?
September 3, 2008 at 5:05 pm
‘Old Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston”..Celine Dion etc…even this new chic Leona Lewis..I think she’s got an Amazing voice!
September 3, 2008 at 5:14 pm
ok good choices. Mariah can blow. Whitney had one of the greatest voices ever. Love Celine Dion! Leona Lewis is ok to me. My girlfriend put me on to Keri Hilson and i really like her voice also. What about Amy Winehouse?
September 3, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Amy is a racist-crackhead whore!!! Her a$$ needs a good scrub down, an immediate check-in to a mental and drug rehab facility, and a total face lift…she is hideous she resembles the bride of frankinstein!!!
September 3, 2008 at 5:58 pm
@Todd I like Amy’s voice..it’s unique..despite her troubled lifestyle!
September 3, 2008 at 5:58 pm
I haven’t heard this Hilson chic but I hear she’s good..will definitely check her out!
December 6, 2008 at 11:51 pm
I say Beyonce right now. She’s more in demand.

Beyonce’s bigger than Hov right now
