The parody goes all?out?with the effort?as it?lasts a full?hour. ?Yup… you read that right… an HOUR!
?I wanted to reach out to filmmakers I know to make this response special, but no one wants to work with me,? Jay Z says in the beginning of?the video.
?Everybody is mad cause I cheated on my wife. I can?t believe I cheated on Beyonc?. I totally forgot that I was married to Beyonc?!?
The Lemonade parody?features Jay Z turning to WikiHow for guidance on how to solve the problems in his life. ?He also criticizes Beyonc? for listening to her father (Matthew Knowles) while jokingly noting that Knowles is not that much older than Hov.
This is clearly another free promotional tool that can add to Beyonce’s buzz surrounding Lemonade… it definitely can’t hurt!
And it also serves as a prequel to what Jay-Z may actually say on his REAL response debut.
