Gloria Carter, the mother of American rap mogul Jay-Z has married her lesbian lover Roxanne Wilshire after dating the woman for many years, Metro Entertainment reported
The nuptials took place in Tribeca, New York on Sunday evening. It was a perfectly star-studded affair with Jay Z – real name Shawn Carter – leading the way like a proud son.
However, the remarkable thing about Carter’s bold decision to wed her lover is that she had been hiding her sexuality in a self-imposed “prison” for many years even when she was married to Jay-Z’s dad and had four kids.
Still Jay-Z had on several occasions revealed how his mother had been hiding her identity and living someone else’s life. In an interview on David Letterman’s Netflix series My Guest Needs No Introduction, he said: “Imagine having to live your life as someone else and you think you’re protecting your kids.
‘For her to sit in front of me and tell me “I think I love someone”, I really cried… I cried because I was so happy for her that she was free.’
Jay-Z also opened up about his mother being in a self-imposed prison and coming out to him on “Smile,” a track off his 2017 album 4:44, sharing how happy he was when she found a partner.
