It’s unconfirmed at the moment, but it’s a perfectly logical next step. Beyoncé and Jay Z’s On the Run tour was a massive hit, as were most of the songs they’ve recorded together thus far, like “Crazy in Love,” “Upgrade You” and “Drunk in Love.” Not to mention, the duo has an HBO concert documentary premiering on Saturday that they need to promote, so why not tease the idea that a dual album is on the way?

DJ Skee, speaking on Dash Radio, says that he “talked to a couple of sources” and “confirmed” that the biggest couple in entertainment is, in fact, working on a joint EP.
When CNN reached out to Jay Z’s camp for a confirmation, the Brooklyn, N.Y., MC, ever so tongue-in-cheek, told the outlet “to ask DJ Skee.” Not quite a confirmation, or a denial.
