Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z accept challenge to go vegan

American rapper Jay Z recently announced that he and his wife Beyonce have decided to embark on a 22-day vegan challenge. This was done after a friend challenged them and they decided to go for “spiritual and physical cleansing", Jay Z's blog mentioned. 

The 44-year-old rapper wrote that the couple decided to turn vegan when a good friend and vegan challenged him to embrace a ‘plant-based breakfast’ every day, the Washington Post reported.

He also appealed to professional vegans to pass on any great recipes and food spots that might help him complete the challenge.

Meanwhile, it is being speculated that health-food enthusiast and actress Gwyneth Paltrow is the “good friend” who challenged Jay-Z.
