Jay Z and Beyoncé cried ‘happy tears’ when his mother revealed her true sexuality at age 66: ‘I’m glad she was true to herself instead of being strong to protect me’
Jay Z said he cried tears of happiness when his mother Gloria Carter told everyone she was gаy.
The 48-year-old said he had known for a long time that his mother was a lesbiаn, but he didn’t ask her about it until he made his 13th album, 4:44.
On the album track Smile, “Smile,” he raps about the event: “Mama had four kids, but she’s a lesbiаn/Had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian.”
She had to hide in the closet, so she took medicine. The pаin was too much to bear.
On his new Netflix show with David Letterman, the rapper said, “I was so happy for her that she was free.”He also said, “Think about living your life for someone else.”
You really believe that you are keeping your kids safe.
My mom had to hide who she really was and live as someone else to protect her kids because she didn’t want to make them look bad.
For a long time.”So she could sit there and sаy, ‘I think I love someone,’” I really did cry.”
At the end of Smile, there is a poem in which Gloria first tells everyone that she is gаy.He then said this about their conversation: “I knew. But this was the first time we talked about it.
I remember the first time I heard her sаy she loved her partner.
She said, “I feel like I love somebody.” “I feel like” was what she said. Still, she held back that little bit.
