Jay-Z's Mom Talks Coming Out

On his latest album, “4:44," rapper JAY-Z revealed that his mom Gloria Carter is a lesbian. On his song “Smile,” he rapped, “Mama had four kids, but she’s a lesbian / Had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian / Had to hide in the closet, so she medicate/ Society shame and the pain was too much to take.” Now, Gloria is opening up on her famous son’s reaction after she came out to him. 'Extra' shares that in anew interview this week with "D'USSE Friday" podcast she shared, "He’s like, ‘That had to be a horrible life, Ma.' I was like, 'My life was never horrible. It was just different.' So that made him want to do a song about it ."
