At least, that’s what he told Oprah!
In the October issue of O Magazine, Jay-Z discusses selling crack as a 13-year-old in his run down Brooklyn neighborhood, his “divine intervention” and marriage to Beyonce.
Here are some HIGHlights:
On dealing drugs:
“You become addicted to the feeling, the uncertainty and adrenaline and danger of that lifestyle.”On his youth and moving up:
“If anyone made it, you never knew it. That’s why I’ve always said that if I became successful, I’d come back here, grab somebody, and show him how it can be done.”On being shot while dealing on the streets:
It was a “divine intervention, and nobody knowing how to shoot.”On spending time with his wife, Beyonce:
“There’s a great pizza spot we go to every Sunday. It’s our tradition. It’s a small place in Brooklyn, you can bring your own wine, and there are candles there. It’s a nice date.”
Awww!
Everyone opens up for the big O!
