Rapper DMX has accused Beyoncé Knowles of softening up her boyfriend Jay-Z because the "sucker for love" never would have worn flip-flops before dating the R&B singer. DMX - real name Earl Simmons - claims he can no longer identify with his one-time friend.

He says, "It's Beyoncé. He's a sucker for love. Thugs don't do flip-flops. Yo, no matter how much vacation I'm on - we been to St. Thomas, Bahamas, all the little islands - I don't wear no flip-flops. I'm never that comfortable, ever, not even in my house."
