He later became Def Jam’s president and founded Roc Nation and Roc Nation Sports. Throughout his career, he has continued to explore personal issues in his music from the death of close friend Notorious B.I.G. in In My Lifetime Vol. 1 to his infidelity in 4:44. He has collaborated with numerous artists, releasing an entire album with Kanye West and multiple singles with his wife Beyonce.

They welcomed their first child, a daughter named Blue Ivy Carter, on January 7, 2012. Sir and Rumi followed in 2017, but by the time the twins were born, Beyonce and Jay-Z’s marriage had been through a lot. Rumor had it Jay-Z was cheating on the “Single Ladies” singer, which he publicly admitted to. The couple went to therapy, worked on their relationship and released music exploring that period of their marriage.
