Beyonce insists she would have never considered selling photos of her hush-hush wedding to Jay-Z to a glossy celebrity magazine. Still, the singer acknowledges that she was amazed at the amount of money that was offered.
“Now, they offer crazy money that’s just ridiculous,” she said in a recent interview, laughing. “But in the end, absolutely not. It’s so not worth it. If anything, if you wanna put something out, then put it out, not for (money).”
Beyonce and Jay-Z were married in April in an intimate ceremony in New York City.
“We worked really hard at keeping it private,” she said. “I’ve always been this way, and he’s always been this way, so that’s why we complement each other. We always knew that it would be private and quiet, for all the right reasons.”
Though Beyonce declined to talk about specific details, she’s been more open to acknowledging her relationship in recent interviews after years of silence about it.
She’s due to release her new CD, “I AM … SASHA FIERCE,” on Nov. 18. MySpace Music is giving listeners a free preview of the CD on its Web site starting 3 a.m. Tuesday. The 27-year-old singer joins the list of other musicians who provide fans with an online preview of the CD in the days before its release.
