BEVERLY HILLS, April 28, (THEWILL) – American rapper, Jay-Z, says he and Beyoncé, his wife, will not push their children to embrace showbusiness.
The music mogul disclosed this during an interview with The Times as he talked about life in quarantine with his wife, Blue Ivy, their 9-year-old daughter, and their twins Rumi and Sir.
He stated that he’s aware of the legacy his children may feel like they have to live up to but stated that he and Beyoncé have a plan.
“In the beginning, it was time for everyone to sit down and really connect, and really focus on family and being together, and take this time to learn more about each other,” he said.
“And then, as it wore on, it’s like, ‘OK, all right, what is the new normal?’
“Not ‘Here’s this business that I’m going to hand over to you, that I’m creating for you’. What if my child doesn’t want to be in music or sports? I have no idea, right? But as long as your child feels supported, and feels loved, I think anything is possible.”
Speaking on how he and Beyonce would help the children to find out what they want to be, Jay-Z stated that the priority is to make sure that they have a loving environment and the necessary attention.
“Just make sure we provide a loving environment, be very attentive to who they want to be. It’s easy for us, as human beings, to want our children to do certain things, but we have no idea. We’re just guides,” he added.
