Jay Z is in quite the position.

On the one hand, he’s married to one of the industry’s most prolific stars, while on the other he’s helped create the career of her rival.

Of course, the latter refers to Rihanna – whose success (or current lack-thereof) has been the subject of much debate this year.

The campaign for her eighth studio album has been muddied and marred by under-performing singles and endless delays.

Still, in attempting to help his prized project keep up appearances, the Roc Nation mogul has offered his insight to the latest goings on in her career.

Speaking in the starlet’s latest Vanity Fair feature, Jigga muses on the her new record label, Westbury Road (which Roc will distribute), as well as Rih’s recent acquisition of her past and future master recordings. He also offers his stance on the incessant push-backs of ‘R8.’

As tabloid celebrities go, few can rival Rihanna‘s ability to generate headlines.

One of such instances came in 2012 when the model controversially reunited with Chris Brown.

The pair’s history is well-documented and is, perhaps, most defined by the 2009 incident which saw Brown pummel his then-girlfriend after an argument.

Expectedly, the reconciliation was short-lived and the duo have since moved on to pastures new. In the absence of new music, 27-year-old Rih used her feature in the November issue of Vanity Fair to explain why.
