Beyonce has officially denied rumors that boyfriend, Jay-Z cheated on her with pop star Rihanna.

"When things are not true, you don't really think about it," said Beyonce in the January issue of Seventeen magazine. "You're not scared of it, because it's not true." "It's amazing-- when you're a new artist [like Rihanna], people are curious," says Beyonce told the interviewer. "That just comes with being a beautiful girl and a celebrity. People just try to link you up with everybody."
