Beyoncé welcomed Rumi and Sir Carter into the world along with Jay-Z in June, and fans marvelled at her photoshoot that introduced the twins to the internet. Now, the couple has revealed why they chose the names.
Taking to Rap Radar, Jay-Z said, “Rumi is our favorite poet, so it was for our daughter. Sir was like, man, come out the gate. He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir.”
He also added that his family is going to be on tour with him. “I booked the tour for October so I could have at least four months to just really bond and see their fingers and s*** like that,” he said and added, “They’ll be with me (on tour) anyway, but I’m just saying, like, (I needed) a space where I’m not doing anything,” he continued, “I’m just focused on them. I’m not thinking about a show at night or anything like that. That’s why the tour is so far away from the release of the album.”
