Stop everything!
Jay-Z is on Twitter right now, and he’s replying to his fans and his critics. Over the past few weeks, Jay-Z has been making up his own rules, which he likes to refer to as “#newrules.”
The 43-year-old rapper isn’t much of a social media guru, but today is different. The “Crown” rapper released his new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, to one million Samsung Galaxy users on July 4 and is gearing up for a global release tomorrow.
To discretely promote his album, Jay-Z is now on Twitter responding to his fans and critics with hashtags such as #mylaugh and #factsonly, and quite honestly, it’s awesome.
