Jay-Z Finally Joins Instagram After 11 Years

Eleven years after Instagram was founded, legendary American rapper Jay Z has finally signed up on the social media platform, sending fans who were surprised by the move into excitement.

To help get the word out, Beyoncé even reposted her husband’s Instagram Story about the film’s release. Just like you’d expect, BK’s the only person Jay is following for now.

We can’t wait to see what he’ll be sharing- if anything- but for now, check out Hova’s first post and a few reactions from fans below:
