Jay-Z Says He Is A Better Boyfriend After His Fathers Death

Rap legend Jay-Z recently stated that the death of his father has made him become a better boyfriend to R&B singer and actress Beyonce.

 

According to reports Jay-Z’s father’s death in 2003 helped him open up emotionally and taught him the importance of dealing with emotional issues in a relationship.

 

“'When I was young, the person I looked up to most was my father, and once I experienced that hurt, the separation from the guy you thought was Superman, you never want to feel that hurt again. 'I'm sure she thinks I'm closed off. I'm working on it. Just trying to deal with emotional issues, taking them on proactively. Before, I wouldn't even address it."

 

Jay-Z's father had left him when he was just 12 years old and the father and son only reconciled just before the father's death.

 

Beyonce and Jay-Z were listed as a Power Couple on Time Magazine's 100's Most Influential People of 2006.
