'Blue Ivy is my biggest fan!' Jay-Z reveals his 18-month-old daughter loves his latest album Magna Carta Holy Grail

She may only be 18-months old, but little Blue Ivy is already a big fan of her father Jay-Z's music.
The 43-year-old hip hop mogul revealed he and Beyonce's little girl especially enjoys listening to his latest album Magna Carta... Holy Grail.
'She loves all the songs,' he tells Vanity Fair in a new interview. 'She plays a song and she goes, "More, Daddy, more... Daddy song." She’s my biggest fan. If no one bought the Magna Carta [album], the fact that she loves it so much, it gives me the greatest joy.

'And that’s not like a cliché. I’m really serious. She’s genuine, she’s honest, because
she doesn’t know it makes me happy. She just wants to hear it.

'I don’t know if Blue ever heard any of my music prior to this album,' he adds. 'I don’t play my music around the house.'
In the candid chat with the November issue of the magazine, Jay discusses his pursuit of Beyonce, her pregnancy, his rap career and what keeps him motivated.
Admitting that 'of course' he pursued Beyonce in the early days of their romance,  Jay maintains he would have charmed her even if he had been working a 'normal job' and not been a famous hip hop star.
'If I’m as cool as I am, yes. But she’s a charming Southern girl, you know, she’s not impressed... But I would have definitely had to be this cool.'
He also confirms that the line on his latest album: 'She was a good girl ’til she knew me' is about his wife.
When quizzed if Beyonce is no longer really a 'good girl', Jay-Z responds: 'Nah. She’s gangsta now.'
Jay, real name Shawn Carter, married Beyonce back in 2008. The pair are now the richest couple in the music business with an estimated fortune of more than $750million between them.

Despite their life of privilege, the couple have occasionally been the subject of some off-the-wall tabloid rumours, including whispers that Beyonce was not really pregnant.

'It’s just so stupid,' says Jay. 'You know, I felt dismissive about it, but you’ve got to feel for her. I mean, we’ve got a really charmed life, so how can we complain? But when you think about it, we’re still human beings
'And even in hip-hop, all the blogs - they had a field day with it. I’m like, "We come from you guys, we represent you guys. Why are you perpetuating this? Why are you adding fuel to this ridiculous rumour?”'
Jay may have started his career as a rapper, but he has gone on to become one of the most influential voices in hip hop music with a number of business interests.
He tells the magazine he got his business skills from drug dealing - he sold crack cocaine on the streets of New York during the 1980s.
'I know about budgets. I was a drug dealer,' he said. 'To be in a drug deal, you need to know what you can spend, what you need to re-up.'
Jay Z said he now regrets being part of the drug problem but said at the time he was only thinking about the money.
'Not until later, when I realised the effects on the community,' he said. 'I started looking at the community on the whole, but in the beginning no.
'I was thinking about surviving. I was thinking about improving my situation. I was thinking about buying clothes.'
He added that the most important plan a drug dealer can have is to get out of the business.
'You have to have an exit strategy, because your window(for dealing drugs) is very small. You're going to get locked up or you're going to die.'
