Congrats, Jay-Z!

On Wednesday, Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter was awarded a Global Leadership Award by the United Nations at a gala in New York City.

Jay has done lots of work to bring clean water to Africa through the Water for Life campaign.

But, Beyonce wasn’t there to see her hubby pick-up the award.

Getting an award from the UN is a pretty big deal, right?

Wonder where she was.
