Beyoncé Loses 10 Million Instagram Followers After Jay-Z Linked to Epstein Case
Beyoncé has reportedly lost 10 million followers on Instagram following new claims involving her husband, rapper Jay-Z, in documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein. The files were released by the US Department of Justice and allege shocking incidents, though none of the claims have led to charges.
According to reports, after Jay-Z’s name appeared in the documents, he lost over 100,000 followers on Instagram. Some major accounts, including celebrities and brands, are also said to have unfollowed him. At the time of reporting, Jay-Z still has around one million followers, and his wife Beyoncé, along with Lindsay Lohan, Diddy, Ivanka Trump, and Kris Jenner, continue to follow him. Speculation also suggests that Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Apple Music, and NFL accounts may have unfollowed him.

The documents claim that in 1996, a woman was allegedly abducted from her home and later woke up in Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion in the presence of Harvey Weinstein and Jay-Z. The files say the victim experienced s**** abuse during multiple incidents in Epstein’s properties, though the allegations remain unproven.
According to the DOJ documents, “She later awoke in the presence of Harvey Weinstein and Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) while Weinstein had inserted his fingers into [redacted].” The alleged victim also claimed she suffered abuse at a 2007 party attended by Weinstein and rapper Pusha T.
The woman told authorities she had no permanent address and moved between hotels. She said she was abducted on seven separate occasions, awakening each time in luxurious surroundings. The documents say Epstein participated in some of the alleged abuse.
Neither Jay-Z, Weinstein, nor Pusha T have been charged in relation to Epstein. Weinstein is currently serving time for a separate s***** assault conviction.
