Summary

Beyoncé and Jay-Z. They’re not just the first family of hip-hop. They remind us that magical, luminous, what-I-would-give-to-have-that love really does exist. That’s why this season we’re telling you the story of how two of the biggest stars on the planet came together, launched a multi-platinum, billion-dollar music empire, and almost lost it all. In this episode, sparks fly when a pop sensation from Houston and a gifted rapper from Brooklyn meet poolside in Cancun.

This episode originally aired on May 26, 2020.
