Jay-Z has just launched his new Facebook game, Empire. The app is currently in BETA, but players can sign up here. Below is a description of the game.
“EMPIRE” takes you on a journey from the streets of Marcy Housing in Brooklyn to the hotspots of the rich and famous: from hustler, to entrepreneur, to business mogul. But, don’t forget friends and family, or your karma will suffer. Make the right choices and you can have it all: cash, bling, fame, street cred, and good karma.

A poem Jay wrote about the birth of his daughter, Blue Ivy, suggested he’ll stop using the word ‘Bitch’, but sources say Jay didn’t even write that poem!
The poem read: “Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich/ I didn’t think hard about using the word bitch/ I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it/ Now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it.”
Furthermore, The Roots star Questlove wrote on Twitter: “This just in:@S_C_ [Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter] to me: “B*aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatch!!!!!!!! and tweet that.”

Beyonce has spoken to the press for the first time after giving birth to baby Blue Ivy!
Bey talks Baby Blue and Jay-Z:
She also said that Jay-Z will be changing the baby’s nappies.
“He will change diapers, of course he will. He is going to be a very hands-on father,” she explained. “He has already said publicly that providing isn’t love. Love is being there. Love is doing the little things for your child.”
Beyonce also spoke about the security at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York during her stay and the birth…
Security was very tight but not just for the sake of it. It was for the security of our daughter – that was always the most important thing and everybody involved made it such a safe and smooth process. As usual, certain things have been made up or exaggerated but that seemed to be the story of the pregnancy.”
