Jay-Z<\/a> felt “afraid to be vulnerable” before meeting Beyonce.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beyonce and Jay-Z have been married since 2008<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old rap star began dating Beyonce<\/a> in the early 2000s, before tying the knot in 2008, and Jay thinks the chart-topping star has helped him to become more expressive.<\/p>\n

Discussing 4:44 – the song in which he opens up about womanising and fatherhood – he says in JAY-Z<\/a> on 8: “I probably heard that song less than any song I\u2019d ever written, except for You Must Love Me. Just listening to it is hard. Doing it was difficult enough. Then hearing it back.”<\/p>\n

In 4:44, Jay raps: “I said: \u2018Don\u2019t embarrass me\u2019 instead of \u2018Be mine\u2019 \/ That was my proposal for us to go steady \/ That was your 21st birthday \/ You matured faster than me, I wasn\u2019t ready \/ So I apologise.”<\/p>\n

\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Jay now admits to being more immature than Beyonce<\/a>, even though she’s 12 years younger than him.<\/p>\n

\nHe shared: “That\u2019s how we start going together. <\/p>\n

\n“I was so immature and so afraid to be vulnerable that I like this person. I like this woman. And I\u2019m like, how do we take the step from just talking on the phone and being friends to boyfriend and girlfriend?<\/p>\n

\n“And instead of saying, \u2018Let\u2019s try this thing, boyfriend and girlfriend…\u2019 I was like, \u2018Don\u2019t embarrass me. It\u2019s like, are you asking me to be your girlfriend?’ That was the only way I could get to being vulnerable like that.”<\/p>\n

\nEarlier this month, Jay admitted to feeling “super inspired” by Beyonce.<\/p>\n

\nThe Grammy-winning rap star revealed that he’s drawn inspiration from her “fearless” approach to life.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking to Extra, Jay explained: “I\u2019m super inspired by her. <\/p>\n

\n“I think she\u2019s a phenomenal producer and writer. And she\u2019s fearless. She tries all kind of stuff. <\/p>\n

\n“Some things she does I\u2019m like, ‘I couldn\u2019t do that’. She\u2019ll be sitting in the back, like, hollering ad libs and it\u2019s just, you know, I\u2019ll get in the way of myself, you know, I get too self-conscious about it. And she\u2019ll just try anything, anything \u2026 she feels in the moment.”<\/p>\n
