Neon Magazine issues apology for starting the "marriage contract" rumor...

Last week, rumors blew up about a marriage contract between Jay-Z and Beyonce. The news of the contract came from interview with Beyonce published in Germany's Neon Magazine. Turns out that not only were the statements false, but the whole interview was made up.

The marriage contract rumor was so bad that word has it even Jay and Beyonce were fighting about it.

Check out the official apology:

We do have serious doubts in the truth of many statements of the interview of Ms. Beyonce Knowles published in NEON, Issue January/2010

The article was written by the freelancer Ingo Mecek. The editors-in-Chief have confronted Ingo Mocek with these doubts. Ingo Mocek was not able to verify certain statements, particularly the statements regarding a marriage contract of Ms. Knowles. There, we assume that the interview did not take place as claimed by Ingo Mocek

NEON dissociates itself from the content of the interview with Ms. Knowles. NEON subscribes to a high level standard of truthful journalism. Since Ingo Mocek has violated these standards serverely, NEON has terminated all relationships with Inco Mocek with immediate effect.

We sincerely apologize to Ms. Knowles and her management for all personal inconvenience that may have arisen due to the publication of this interview.
