Jay-Z: Blue Ivy Is 'My Biggest Fan' and Wooing Beyonce
Jay Z has opened up about wooing Beyonce and called their daughter Blue Ivy in the November issue of Vanity Fair.
The publication posted the article on its website Tuesday morning. In the write up, the Watch the Throne rapper discussed his rags to riches story. He used to sell drugs and was arrested for stabbing a man at one point. However, he is now one of the most respected figures in Hip Hop and is married to pop superstar Beyonce. He recalled engaging his future wife during a 2001 photo shoot. He said she would have dated him if he had been a gas attendant.
"If I'm as cool as I am, yes. But she's a charming Southern girl, you know, she's not impressed. . . . But I would have definitely had to be this cool," he said.
The two were married in 2006 and welcomed daughter Blue Ivy in January 2012. Jay Z responded to claims that his singer wife faked her pregnancy.
"I don't even know how to answer that. It's just so stupid. You know, I felt dismissive about it, but you've got to feel for her. I mean, we've got a really charmed life, so how can we complain? But when you think about it, we're still human beings. . . . And even in hip-hop, all the blogs-they had a field day with it. I'm like, We come from you guys, we represent you guys. Why are you perpetuating this? Why are you adding fuel to this ridiculous rumor?" he said.
Jay Z also said that Blue Ivy was his biggest fan.
"If no one bought the Magna Carta [album], the fact that she loves it so much, it gives me the greatest joy. And that's not like a cliché. I'm really serious," he said.
