Bey and Jay Z wrote an album but were STOPPED from releasing it

Just this week it was reported that Jay Z was in the middle of recording a response album to Beyonce's Lemonade, but now, Billboard has discovered that Jay and Bey nearly released a full-length album together.

According to Billboard, the album came about while the couple were touring for On The Run in 2014.

An insider says they "nearly finished" the probably-amazing album when their label allegedly stopped the project from moving forward.

However, a rep from Sony Records told the website that that simply wasn't the case, and the label is very "open to" it.

Hmmm, we're not sure who is telling the fibs here but before you hold a wake for the album that never was, there still might be hope of it being released.

The source said that the album will probably be released in the near future, after the hype from Lemonade cools down. Yes!

If this album does see the light of day soon, we'll be very happy campers.
