The rapper spoke about his mother coming out to him as a lesbian in the song “Smile” from 2017.
Congratulations should be extended to Gloria Carter, JAY-Z’s mother!
The Carter family matriarch tied the knot with Roxanne Wiltshire over the weekend in a ceremony that took place in Tribeca, New York City.
They were joined at the celebration by their friends and family, including JAY-Z and his wife Beyoncé, as well as celebrities Kelly Rowland, Tina Knowles-Lawson, Tyler Perry, and Robin Roberts.
Beyoncé posted an Instagram picture of herself wearing peach-colored clothing, including a corseted Dolce and Gabbana bodysuit and a matching skirt. A lace handbag, sunglasses, and a feathered jacket were the finishing touches on her ensemble.
Blue Ivy, the daughter of the “Renaissance” singer and the “Empire State of Mind” rapper, wore a floor-length sage green silk Reformation gown. A chain necklace and a pair of stiletto heels were the finishing touches to her ensemble.
JAY-Z first mentioned his mother coming out to him as a lesbian in the 2017 song “Smile.”.
Despite being a lesbian, Mama has four children. She had to play the part of a thespian for a very long time. She took medicine because she had to hide in the closet. The 53-year-old Grammy winner rapped, “The sadness and the social shame were too much to bear. “To me, it makes no difference who it is because when you first fell in love, you shed happy tears. I just want to see your smile through all the hatred.
In a Netflix My Next Guest Needs No Introduction appearance by David Letterman, the “Run This Town” singer acknowledged that he did cry with joy when he learned that his mother had found love.
“Imagine having to live your life as someone else, and you think you’re protecting your kids,” he said in 2018. “When she said, “I think I love someone,” while seated in front of me, I actually started crying. I cried because I was so happy that she was no longer in prison. ”.
On the D’Usse Friday podcast in 2017, Carter shared her perspective on the time she came out to her son.
I was telling him one day as I was sitting there. I’m just now starting to introduce myself to him. You know, I lived a life like this; this is who I am, aside from your mother,” she continued. “My son actually started to cry as he said, ‘That had to be an awful life, Ma. My life has never been dreadful, I replied. It was just different. ”.
