American showbiz mogul Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter has said that his new album ‘4:44’ was a means of getting therapy. He said recording the album and releasing it was a therapeutic process.
He revealed that it gave him the opportunity to “speak my truth,” stressing that being honest about his life has always been his modus operandi on all his previous albums.
“I put it out because it’s really therapeutic for myself to get to a space where I’m not hiding behind anything – no mask and just really speak my truth,” he told BBC Radio.
“Again, It’s really more an extension of what I’ve been doing. If you listen to ‘You Must Love Me’ in 1997, you didn’t know who my mum was of even knew her name.”
The entrepreneur confessed that he bootlegged the leaked episode of television series Game of Thrones. According to him:”Game of Thrones. I actually stole I feel bad, I feel guilty, I stole that episode they put out, the leaked episode. But I was flying on the plane, I think I deserve that. What you want me to do? People bootleg my album. I watched on Sunday to give them the rating.”
The father of two said his home is always alive with “music, just family, friends, music and a lot of food.. we are always eating”.
