Allow me to reintroduce myself: Jay Z has changed his name AGAIN, brings back the hyphen

Apparently fatherhood will change you. That, and the announcement of a new album.

In preparation of his upcoming visual project, 4:44, Shawn Carter aka Hov aka Beyoncé‘s husband aka JAY-Z has officially made a name change.

That’s right, the hyphen is back.

It’s officially been re-added to his name, following his Magna Carter Holy Grail days without the dash.

EW confirmed that along with the addition of the hyphen, the name will be spelled stylistically in all-caps.

Jay Z, I mean, JAY-Z’s rep confirmed the stylizing of his rap moniker with a hyphen and all capital letters, hence, the new name ‘JAY-Z.’

So from now on, it’s JAY-Z guys – no more Jay Z.
