Ever since he crossed the $100 million mark, Jay-Z has become the target of jokes and rumors. For the past few years, there have been rumors of him being a part of Illuminati, a devil worshiping cult. If he is not being tied to the cult, he has gotten Beyonce pregnant. Jay-Z addressed all of this earlier today.
Sitting down with Tim Westwood, promoting his book, Decoded, the Brooklyn rapper poked fun at the allegations. He laughed at the idea of him being a part of a secret society everyone knows about. While he laughed it off, he explained that when people reach the levels he has reached, there has to be an explanation.
Jay-Z has been the man in rap for some time, but he recently crossed over and is making corporate money. He said people would rather believe he is into a cult instead of believing in his hard work and determination. Hov said similar rumors were placed upon The Beatles and it is to be expected when you reach rockstar status, like he has.
When people are not putting him in the secret society, people are making Jay-Z into the father of Beyonce's first born child. Recently, rumors again have started about Beyonce being pregnant. With Jigga trying to focus on promoting his new book and possibly recording a new album, he has not had time to really be around his wife. Having not been around his wife and with her own hectic schedule, Jay-Z denied the rumors of Beyonce being pregnant.
One thing Jay-Z did not deny in his interview was trying to expand his Roc Nation label. Despite going over to Great Britain to promote his book, Jay was also over there to recruit British rapper, Tinie Tempah. He feels as if Tempah would greatly benefit from signing with Roc Nation. Jay-Z said if he wants a shot at being successful, he should sign over to Roc Nation immediately. The roster of Roc Nation already includes eight artists, including J. Cole and Willow Smith.
