Thugs remain hard and tough for life, yo. Don't let any woman tell you otherwise. However, Jay-Z has become a soft, gingerbread cookie when it comes to his current relationship.

According to rapper DMX, the hip-hop artist has let down his guard and softened his ways with dazzling, fashionable singer Beyonce. DMX - whose real name is Earl Simmons - says his friend would never think of wearing flip-flops if he was single, but apparently Cupid has struck his heart.

StarPulse.com notes that DMX doesn't understand how his friend has changed and allowed himself to become a "sucker for love" for Beyonce. The rapper says he's "never that comfortable" to wear flip-flops so Jay-Z shouldn't be either. He's got a reputation to protect, you know.

He explained, "It's Beyonce. 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."
