Beyoncé just revealed the reason her hubby JAY-Z grew out his hair — and it’s SO precious!
At the end of last month, the rapper made a huge change when he showed up to the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia rocking a natural afro! For years he had long locs, so this change came as a huge surprise to a lot of his fans, but now Bey is telling the full story.
In a new video while promoting her Cécred hardcore line, the pop star said the reason for his afro was his late dad, Adnis Reeves:
“Everyone wants to know the details of Jay’s hair transformation … He told me a few months ago he was planning on combing out his locs for the Philly show. He wanted to do it in honor of his father.”

How sweet. But it gets even sweeter. Bey continued, revealing he grew out his hair for their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter:
“I thought it was always beautiful that the real reason Jay grew out his hair was to show Blue that her hair was like his hair. Our daughter was about 5 and she wasn’t feeling very confident about her hair at that time. When she told her father that, it inspired Jay to grow out his hair.”
Aww… What a precious thing for a dad to do for their daughter!!
The Single Ladies singer went on, explaining that Jay’s decision to do that for Blue meant everything to her:
“We really wanted her to love and embrace every inch of her gorgeous curls. It also inspired Blue to be the voice of the award-winning book, Hair Love by Matthew A. Cherry.”
