Beyonce Knowles is the greatest ‘Connect 4′ player on the face of the earth after beating rapper Kanye West 9 out of 10 times.  West had been playing the game for hours in Europe while coping with the loss of his mother and thought he was pretty good.  He had heard how good Beyonce was and got his chance to play her at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club on New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas.

“I would play this game for hours and hours … It helped me zone out,” West, 30, wrote on his blog Wednesday. “But every now and then people would speak of this legendary Connect 4 champion … BEYONCE!!!”

“I had 2 play her,” he continued, noting that he finally got the chance on New Year’s Eve at Jay-Z’s brand new 40/40 Club in Las Vegas. “[She] beat me 9 times in a row!”

The makers of ‘Connect 4′ will be celebrating all day at the huge amount of free press and publicity that two of hip-hop’s biggest entertainers have brought to their game.
