Jay-Z’s mum weds female partner

Gloria and her long-time lover Roxanne left social media abuzz with the news of their wedding.

TMZ reported that the event was star-studded, with A-list celebrities gracing the event.

While Jay-Z and his wife, Beyoncé, are the crème de la crème of A-listers when it comes to showbiz, other celebrities joined them in the festivities.

Among the guests were: Tyler Perry, Kelly Rowland, Kris Jenner’s lover Corey Gamble, and Beyoncé’s mum, Tina Knowles.

The couple’s firstborn daughter Blue Ivy Carter also looked glamorous in a silk gown while attending the wedding.

Check out some of the photos below:

Jay-Z told his mum’s story via his 2017 track Smile and, in 2019, shouted her out at the GLAAD Media Awards, thanking her for letting him tell her story.

Part of the lyrics from the song:

“… Mama had four kids, but she’s a les****. Had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian. Had to hide in the closet, so she medicate/society shame and the pain was too much to take… cried tears of joy when you fell in love. Don’t matter to me if it’s a him or her I just wanna see you smile through all the hate… Marie Antoinette, baby, let ’em eat cake.”

Prezzo claims Jay-Z sought relationship advise from him

Separately, Kenyan musician Prezzo claimed Jay Z asked him for advice about his relationship with Beyoncé, who was also present.

Prezzo made the sentiment while hyping his YouTube show, and Kenyans said the conversation between the rappers never happened.
