It’s official, people: we don’t call him Jay-Z anymore. Nah. It’s strictly Jay Z.

Yup, that’s right, Jay-Z has officially dropped the hyphen in his name. So it’s no longer Jay-Z. It’s Jay Z.

Got it? Good.

Billboard was quick to enforce the new policy. In the story this morning they did about the Legends of Summer tour, they listed Jay Z. 

If you had a keen eye for such things, you could see this move coming. In Magna Carta…Holy Grail there’s a song called “Jay Z Blue.”

So there you have it. Now excuse us while we go in our archives and change every Jay-Z to Jay Z #Notreally.
