That’s really nice of Jay-Z to take the steps to ensure that the children are taken care of.
What an honorable gesture. She favors Beyonce also.
Big ups to Jay! My people always making me proud!
Can I get a thank U Sandy???
@Sandra
Sorry I got it.
I keep wondering when the young lady took on Sean’s last name since they never got married.
#6~she legally had this done a few months back. this is so..so sad and senseless. i wish her peace and hopefully one day she can find a good man to spend her life with.
Thats really nice of him.
IT’S THE ROC!!
JAY Z stepped up real big in this situation. Now that was a good look. BROOKLYN!!!
Good Look Mr Carter..I like that!
I am so glad that he stepped up and showed everyone how a mogul stands up!!!
Everyone was asking what is Jay doing, how is he going to respond to the verdict…he is securing a future Sean’s children!!!!
This is beautiful…I hope they grow up and be very productive!!!
Good for Jay and Nicole…and the girls look just like their Daddy…
Too bad we don’t hear more about this. The media is quick to cover the negative issues, but such acts of kindness go uncovered. Much respect for the Roc.
