JAY-Z rang in the final year of his 40s on Tuesday (December 4) in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he headlined the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 concert alongside artists like Pharrell — which helped garner pledges of over $7.1 billion to end extreme poverty. Proud parent (and grandparent) Ms. Tina Knowles, who joined the couple on the trip, took to Instagram to share a heartfelt birthday message to her son-in-law.
“A very Happy Birthday to my amazingly talented, super smart, gracious, classy, filled with swag son in law,” she wrote. “I could not be more happy to have you in my family and could not be more happy to be in yours,” she continued, adding that his mother and grandmother “did great.”
Tina has long been publicly supportive of Jay, from making statements to the press to shut down the rumor of relationship problems with Bey, or sounding off on the Grammy‘s after Jigga walked away empty-handed in 2017.
“You have done so much for our Culture, Thank you for that,” she said, ending her message by adding “I have watched you grow personally in leaps and bounds … you are an incredible husband and the best Father!”
