JAY Z ASKS RIHANNA TO TAKE TIME OFF . . . SO THAT BEYONCE CAN TAKE HER SHINE!!!

MediaTakeOut.com just learned that there is a SERIOUS STRAIN in the relationship between Jay Z and his protege (and maybe more), Rihannna.

According to a ROCK SOLID insider, Jay Z has asked Rihanna to lay low now that her Last Girl On Earth Tour is over. The insider explains,"He told Rihanna to go on vacation, away from the press and get herself together."

But MediaTakeOut.com;s insider claims that Rihanna is NOT taking Jigga's advice. The tipster tells, "Rihanna's hoter than ever, she's not going to take a break now. Besides - she's no dummy. Beyonce is releasing a single next month and a video (with Alicia Keys) in two weeks. She knows that [Jay Z] would rather that Bey not share the spotlight."
