On Tuesday, Jay-Z surprised fans by starting an Instagram account. It was an unexpected move from the billionaire rapper, who rarely uses social media.

After joining, he followed only his wife, Beyonce, and also promoted the upcoming film, The Harder They Fall, which he helped co-executive produce.

An attempt to visit @jayz on Instagram presents the error message, “User not found.”

Joshua is preparing to fight Oleksandr Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 25.

The Brit, whose WBA, WBA and IBF world titles will be on the line against the Ukrainian, has not fought since his win over Kubrat Pulev in December 2020.

Joshua, who is a self-confessed fan of the Brooklyn-born rapper, Jay-Z,  felt he nearly came to blows when he tried to get a photo with Jay-Z – real name Shawn Carter.

Joshua told William Hill “Jay-Z was cool, I was at a Will Smith premiere once, years ago. And as I said, Jay-Z, I listened to that a week ago. The Streets is Watching’, ‘Hard Knock Life’, I just love that stuff. ‘Dead Presidents. So imagine – you know those lovely houses that are like mansion houses and they’ve got a stairway in the middle and they depart around left and right and they come back? Pure opulence. I was at this big premiere and it was one of those big staircases and I was in the top left. And I saw Jay-Z walk in. And in my head, I was like, ‘Yo, there’s Jay-Z.’ Know what I mean? Ready to jump down the balcony. But I thought, ‘Play it cool’. So I thought, what way is he going to come up these stairs. Because if I stand on the left and he goes on the right, there are too many people, it’s a premiere. Thank God I stood at the right side. As he come up, I was kind of like (grabs his wrist), ‘Jay, do you mind if I get a picture? And he kind of looked at my hand, yeah, like, ‘Boy, I will bust your head if you don’t get off my hand. But it was just one of those things where I just gave the guy the camera. And in that picture, I think it’s one of the first pictures on my Instagram, Jay-Z has just got a plain face. And there’s me with a big smile.”

According to Forbes, ’Ye’s Yeezy brand, which he owns in its’ entirety and falls under the Adidas umbrella, helped push him over the $1 billion mark.

The publication said they dissected the Chicago rapper’s success with Yeezy, while also sharing how they tabulated Kanye’s net worth. A decent portion of Kanye’s net worth can be attributed to his royalty agreement with Adidas.

Kanye West’s team provided a statement of the rapper’s assets, which were listed as $17 million in cash, $35 million in stocks, $81 million in “buildings and improvements,” $21 million in land, as well as his G.O.O.D. label and publishing rights, which is said to be worth at least $90 million. There were also a sizable deduction for $100 million worth of debts, which included mortgages and advances.

Forbes also noted that they gave Kanye’s net worth a “50 percent haircut” due to the illiquidity of his assets and the “the lack of independent backup.” The team also deducted $100 million for debts, which included mortgages and advances, putting Kanye’s estimated net worth at $1.3 billion.

The rapper said in a statement that he entered a multiyear deal where his role will consist of driving creative direction, outreach efforts and strategy for the brand. The rapper will also work on social issues through the partnership and push economic participation of people returning from incarceration through job training.

He said “Anything I do, I want to do correctly and at the highest level. With all the potential in the cannabis industry, Caliva’s expertise and ethos make them the best partners for this endeavor. We want to create something amazing, have fun in the process, do good and bring people along the way.”

The artist’s primary holdings follow, which Forbes calculated by “looking at the artist’s stakes in companies like Armand de Brignac champagne applying our customary discount to private firms then added up his income, subtracting a healthy amount to account for a superstar lifestyle,” which were then vetted by “a roster of outside experts.”

Here are Jay-Z’s line of businesses and how he has been able to amass so much wealth; Armand de Brignac champagne : $310 million, Cash & investments, including a stake in Uber worth an estimated $70 million, $220 million. D’Ussé cognac: $100 million, Tidal streaming service: $100 million, Roc Nation : $75 million, Music catalog: $75 million, Art collection: $70 million and his Real estate business which is worth $50 million
