Arriving two days after the birth of his first daughter with wife Beyoncé Knowles,Blue Ivy Carter, who has been the object of months of anxious speculation by celebrity watchers, the song contains a striking personal revelation. Amid rhyming couplets about paternal pride and spiritual gratefulness—basically a paean to his newborn—Jay-Z drops the bombshell that he and Beyoncé had lost an earlier pregnancy.
“Last time, the miscarriage was so tragic,” he raps on “Glory.” “We was afraid you would disappear. But nah, baby, you magic.”
And with the force of a roadside bomb, word of the miscarriage blasted across the celebrity news cycle—“Beyonce had miscarriage before Blue Ivy,” blared a headline on TMZ, while Radar Online weighed in with “Jay-Z reveals Beyonce’s miscarriage before Blue Ivy was born”—startling fans of both the notoriously guarded rapper and his superstar wife on several front.
