How Jay-Z Really Feels About Beyoncé, Their Kids Watching His Docuseries


Why Jay-Z Thinks Beyoncé, Their 3 Kids Watching His Docuseries Could Be “Cringe”

Jay-Z is ready for the hard knock truth when it comes to his new project.

But the Grammy winner—who shares kids Blue Ivy, 14, as well as 9-year-old twins Rumi and Sir with Beyoncé—admitted he feels a bit shy about showing his loved ones his upcoming docuseries JAY-Z in 8.

“I’m really excited,” Jay-Z exclusively told E! News at the world premiere of JAY-Z in 8 in New York City Sept 13. “They know these things. We talk all the time. It’ll be fascinating to see on a big screen and at times, I know it’ll be, like, cringe.” 

“You know, when you put yourself out there like that,” he added, “you get embarrassed but it’s honest, and it’s a beautiful piece. So, I’m very proud of it.”

In the eight-part documentary series, which premieres on HBO and Max on September 18, the music mogul (born Shawn Carter) sits down with legendary producer Rick Rubin to look back on his life and 30-year music career.

Though the “Love All” rapper shared he “didn’t learn much” about himself while working on the project, he was able to see his life from a different point of view.
