Piers Morgan feels the wrath of Jay-Z and Beyoncé after his explosive interview with Jaguar Wright
How powerful are Jay-Z and Beyoncé? British host Piers Morgan just came upon about this when he needed to edit part of his show “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
Morgan hosted conspiracy activist and social media singer Jaguar Wright on an episode to debate Sean “Diddy” Combs’ accusations, arrests and other sex crimes in the music industry.
The Carters were upset because Wright strayed from the topic she was speculated to discuss and slammed rapper Hov, whose real name is Shawn Carter, claiming he was a predator.
A number of days after the episode aired on YouTube, Morgan took to the camera and apologized on behalf of his media company for failing to fact-check the “The What Ifs” singer for making unverifiable statements about the hip-hop power couple.
“Jaguar Wright unexpectedly made some serious allegations against Jay-Z and Beyoncé during this interview. As I said at the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have. Their lawyers have contacted us to say these claims are completely false and have no basis in fact.”
He continued: “We are therefore complying with the legal request to excise them from the original hearing.”
“On Uncensored, editing interviews is not something we take lightly, but like the proverbial screaming fire in a crowded theater, we too are subject to legal constraints,” the former CNN broadcaster said, before adding: “We apologize to Jay-Z and Beyonce.”
One X user posted an apology: “Racist and cowardly Piers Morgan publicly apologizes to JAY-Z and Beyoncé after mentally ill charlatan Jaguar Wright made baseless claims about Carter on his struggling platform.”

Another person shared a clip, writing“They gave him a really good shake. Remember that this is a man who hacked into celebrities’ phones, including the phone of a teenager who was kidnapped, raped and killed. He never apologized for it. You know if he did that, they would bankrupt him and the network.”
Third he was joking“The fact that ‘This is HOV’ hasn’t failed yet lmaooooo one day people will learn” as another person wrote on Twitter: “I hope this starts happening especially to those bloggers and podcasters who are fed up with this era conspiracy theories we live in.”
One user X further wrote, “People didn’t learn anything from Cardi B and Tasha K.”
Someone else objected stating“I mean, they (didn’t) sue Jaguar Wright, right?!”
Many individuals who didn’t see the unedited interview wondered what Wright said about the “On The Run Tour” couple and how she knew them.
The neo-soul singer, through her relationship with the hip-hop group The Roots, became involved with Jay-Z in the early 2000s.
When the rapper was scheduled to seem on one of the “MTV Unplugged” specials in 2001, Wright provided backing vocals during his live performances, especially on songs like “Song Cry.”

This performance helped her reach a wider audience and increased her visibility, paving the way for her to release her debut album “Denials Delusions and Decisions” on MCA in 2002.
She has been seen in photos from quite a few events and parties with Jay-Z. However, there isn’t any public connection between Wright and Beyoncé, despite her constant claims that she knows the “Halo” singer’s personal information.
Drawing on her two-decade relationship with Hov, she made a series of comments that led to attorneys contacting Morgan.
One of the things she said was“Not only did I scream for Diddy, but Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters.”
Piers then noted that Jay-Z has conspicuously been silent since “Diddy’s allegations were made,” and asked her why she thought that.
Wright said that after arrested (and possibly interrogated), he would have “no choice” but to reply.
“Harvey Weinstein. Jeffrey Epstein. Robert Kelly. Sean Combs. (They all) have one person in common, professionally and personally: Shawn Carter,” said the owner of Dalla-Delphia, adding: “It has been a fist of tyranny that has been tearing through our culture and our society for decades. This has to end.”
Wright’s interview continues expressed why she thought the Me Too movement was a “ruse,” saying Jay-Z was “fronted by the docu-series ‘Surviving R Kelly,'” which she said was “entirely funded by Shawn Carter to make certain that Robert Kelly goes to jail, get his licking back.
“How does Jay-Z talk to Gayle King,” Morgana then asked rhetorically, referencing the rapper’s November interview with the “CBS Mornings” host.
“And she didn’t ask him a single query about the crossover between him and Aaliyah and Robert Kelly? It’s crazy that folks still don’t desire to see what is going on on there.”
The most damning accusation Wright made was her claim that she knew “three victims” who were willing to share what Jay-Z and Beyoncé did to them.
“They’re a nasty little couple,” she said, apparently holding back tears. “They do nasty things. Detaining people against their will. Putting people on planes when they are unconscious… just like Aaliyah got on the plane unconscious.”
Aaliyah died in an August 2000 plane crash along with six others after filming the music video for “Rock The Boat” in the Bahamas. She was 25 years old then. However, reports of her being unconscious on the plane were never publicly investigated.
Despite his public apology, Wright hasn’t stopped talking about Jay-Z. Neither Carter has commented publicly about the Philadelphia singer, responding only through their lawyers.
