Jay-Z and his mother, Gloria Carter, are extremely close and have supported each other over time. The rapper praised his mother following her coming out as gay.
Gloria came out publicly on her son’s son “Smile”, which was released on his 2017 album 4:44.
The song lyrics include, “In the shadows people see you as happy and free/Because that’s what you want them to see/Living two lives, happy, but not free.”
The rapper revealed he believed his mother was gay but they had not discussed it, until he was making the album.
Jay-Z told David Letterman, “For her to sit in front of me and tell me ‘I think I love someone’ – I mean, I really cried. That’s a real story. I cried because I was so happy for her that she was free.”

Last year, Gloria was even honored at the GLAAD Awards. She took the stage and gave a powerful speech saying, “Here I am. I’m respectful. I’m productive! And I’m a human being who has a right to love who I love”
Jay-Z also recently threw Beyoncé a birthday party.
