Jay-Z is Changing his Name to Mrs. Shawn Knowles-Carter

Posted on December 24th, 2009 - By Bossip Staff

Categories: Babies, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Matthew and Tina Knowles, News, True or False?

Rumors are spreading that Beyonce, we should probably say Mathew, has convinced Jay-Z to hyphenate his last name. Between Tina and Matthew, they only have two daughters, so once both of them are married, the Knowles name will disappear.

Beyonce Knowles and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter are said to take on each other’s surnames in an effort to carry on the Knowles moniker. They want to keep Knowles because Beyonce’s parents didn’t have any sons and they’re keen to keep the name going strong, especially if they don’t produce any children themselves

Beyonce and Jay-Z may be jumping to conclusions because if AlexSandra Wright’s unborn baby turns out to be a boy and Mathew’s child, then the legacy continues.

The two were spotted in Maldives for the Christmas holiday..

    that’s stupid consider Jay’s name is just as valuable as B’s is.

  • Hannibal

    IT COULD BE WORSE, HIS NAME COULD BE BARACK OBAMA.

  • SnobbyGyrl

    uber stoopid..they can just hyphenate the kids’ names if they have any …and if not ..we know who da hell Bey is … neh-cro puhleeze… tina & matthew need to go handle they own damn scandal… FOH!

  • educatedyouth

    Y wouldn’t they change Juelz last name to Knowles…I don’t know A man that would take a woman’s last name…that’s odd

  • PradaMaMa

    WOW WUTTA A REAL B*TCH MOVE….. 50 GONE HAVE FUN WITH DIS

    had.

    his father-in-law never had
    a son.

    Step ya game up.

    Does Juelz not exist.The story is weird but not my issue!

  • Qamil

    Why are you people commenting like this is actually true. That man isn’t doing that. Come on now. Some people take everything these blog sites post as FACT. Use your brains!

  • Not that Michael

    Damn, Jay is deperate for Bey to give birth to his kids! Never gonna happen, though. That man is too ugly to be a father. Why? Because there’s a good chance they’ll have a girl and no girl, regardless of money, can get away with looks like that.

    In terms of last names: I don’t think either person should take on any other name but their own. Only blood can be my true family. My children would have my name (and their mother’s if she *truly* wants that), but that’s it.

  • http://Bossip leslie

    Damn Jay-Z I am your #1 fan. I am going to have to start calling you G..a..y-Z. You are getting gayer and gayer by the minute. You have so turned me off. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. What is up with your man hood. I am scared Beyonce is going to leave you. No woman wants a man that eat out of their hand hard like that. Especially if when you married him he was a so called gangster. Thats is just lame as fuc jigga

  • Gimmeabreak 78

    If this is true, that is one of the silliest things I’ve ever heard.

  • http://nautysgirl@yahoo.com bklynlady

    THAT IS TRULY THE DUMBEST SH*T I’VE EVER HEARD. JAY…..PICK THAT HEAVY BOTTOM LIP OF YOURS UP AND CUT THE SH*T. DON’T MAKE BKLYN DISOWN YOU.

  • Hope4more

    Does it matter since most entertainers go back there first names only.

  • Jah

    I high doubt that this is true. But if it were, it would be a sad publicity stunt.

    Like S*****byGyrl said, they would just hyphenate the child’s last name.

    I really don’t believe that the Knowles are tryin to bring attention to paternity/surname issues right now….

  • Peace

    This story just doesn’t sound true. Even though JayZ became more popular and is staying relative because of Beyonce. But no this is not so.

  • Karen K.

    Wait, so you can just make up names like Beyonce and Solange and Estrange and Lasquishia and Flatricia and Bumsquishia, but it’s suddenly a horrible concern that the Knowles name will disappear? Damn. If there’s anything we’re good at it’s just pulling random names out of our butts. I don’t see what the big worry is.

  • v-red

    @PradaMaMa – …but who is 50? cuz he definitely has not room to talk with the b*&(! move he made pulling the Keisha Cole move…lol… Who cares for crying out loud! They gettin mulla!!!

  • I’m Just Me….Keeping It Real Since: 1983. MERRY CHRISTMAS BOSSIP FOLK….IF YOU CELEBRATE

    HEY Y’ALL!!

    This is a new day and time and I do know a man that changed his last name completely when he got married. I am not with all of that but…if it works for them…it works for them.

  • Shay

    If Jay wants to do that then more power to him but most families in this situation name their children Knowles as a middle name or even hyphenate the kids last names. I doubt he’ll do his name like that because every rapper will ride him on it till the end of time.

    On another note..doesn’t Matt have an older son from before Tina?

    PEOPLE KILL ME SAYING THAT JAY HAS BECOME MORE POPULAR BECAUSE OF BEYONCE. NO ONE AND I REPEAT NO ONE WAS CHECKING FOR DESTINY CHID!

    This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I do not believe this one bit.

    Have to see it to believe it. Since when do men take on the women’s lastname?

    Gentlemen, be very afraid. The time when you too will carry children and go through labour is on your doorsteps. LOL.

  • Charlotte

    This is pure BS!

  • WTF?!

    Just give their future children both names kids both names, these two will do anything for publicity.

    I really find them to be very annoying, can’t wait until they are has-beens.

  • sweetga

    @HANNIBAL….SHUT YO A.Z.Z UP!

  • bria

    This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life. There children’s last name would still be Carter. Why didn’t Solange name her child’s last name Knowles? Because the child gets the father’s last name. I am beginning to think Beyonce runs this relationship from top to bottom. Because a man does not do that. A man just does not change his name like that. Maybe he is gay. Maybe the child her father is getting ready to have will be a boy and he can keep the name going on forever. That is just stupid.

    @hannibal wow stupid.jayz and beyonce is just a another showbiz couple.

  • Rihanna Stans own Bossip!!!!

    so their official last names are going to be Knowles-Carter and their children and grandchildrens’ last name would be Knowles-Carter…that’s weird

    My last name is Carter and i would want to hypenate my last name when i get married because i’m proud to be a Carter.

  • d.o

    lies, lies ,lies and more lies.

  • http://www.myspace.com/msgloc GLOC

    That doesn’t make sense. He shouldn’t have to change his name. You can name your child whatever you want. I’m not married to my son’s father and I wanted my son to have my name also so he has both of our names. At birth, you have the right to name your baby whatever. He shouldn’t have to legally do anything with his name!

  • alldatsupreme

    Yeah Im dat Brooklyn, now I got 2 sweat her, to keep my boo Beyonce, I’ll have 2 do what-eva….

  • alldatsupreme

    His momma name him clay. I’mma call him clay…I say clay….

  • bossip got nerve

    Isn’t solange’s son last name Knowles?
    And if beyonce has a son wouldnt his last name be Knowles-Carter?! wtf kinda dumb shxt is this

  • Inneresting

    if this is true, then wow! big ups to jay z for doing this. it does seem odd, though- what is juelz last name, and why didn’t his football player dad change his last name?? it sounds like a bargaining tool with beyonce, so that she will hurry up and have his baby. i commend her for wearing the pants, or at least not giving up so much of her power.
    this story sounds like a distraction from the elder knowles’ divorce, though. good pr move, i guess.

    can’t stand either of them…….tired of seeing them actually, ever since jay-z threw roc under the bus, have u noticed how many blacks events they attend? none…. nada….. unless one of them has a cd about to drop then they show up. the last few BET awards neither was there, SOURCE, VIBE, u name it…..they don’t want nothing but money from black folks, i refuse to put my hard earned cash n2 either of their pockets.

  • http://msn missy davis

    This is just what i call a “THROW OFF STORY”. A fake story they throw in the mix to keep your attention off the fact that her parents are getting a divorce and that if this Alexandra woman is being truthful in what she’s claiming……it will be a messy divorce no matter how they try to cover it up.

  • 1985

    I don’t believe this story.

  • christelle

    well you know you poerful when your man is taking your last name. I mean my best friend who is muslim had her man convert to islam… POWERRRR! Women have the power now, lets use it LOL

    Oh but i seriously doubt its true though!

  • Big Harp

    This has to be the most BS I ever heard! Listening to Jay all these years there is no way in hell he would do this!

  • Bey-nonsense

    This is just what her name should be- Bey-nonsense. She seems like an insecure empty head chick who let her parents run her life and is spoiled like a little girl. She constantly feels like she must top herself. This stunt is waaaay over the top. You are married. Therefore, you must take your husband’s last name.

  • http://Bossip TuShawn

    He’s less than a man to me so I can see him doing that! half man, half a fag! A real man would not entertain that BS and wouldn’t have a problem letting her family know this! Jay-Z the asz kisser! I LOVE SCARFACE!!!!!!!

  • wtf

    dont solange have a son? he can be the “last knowles” lmao
