Jay-Z has finally joined Instagram and of course he and Beyoncé only follow each other

In just a few hours, Jay-Z has attracted well over 1.6 million followers

In the year of our Lord 2021, and years after everybody else, the hip-hop sueprstar has finally set up an Instagram account, sharing his first post this morning.

In just a few hours, Jay-Z has attracted well over 1.6 million followers, which will come as a surprise to no one considering he is one of the biggest artists in the world.

This number is eclipsed, however, by his wife, who boasts a jaw-dropping 216 million followers on Instagram. 

The Halo singer joined Instagram all the way back in 2012, and has lasted almost 10 years without following a single person – until now.

She swiftly followed Jay-Z’s brand new account, making her husband the first person she has connected to on the social media platform.
