A post shared by JAY-Z (@jayz)

Jay Z, who is known to be a private person, has a verified twitter account since 2008 but rarely shares posts, something that he joked about in halloween.

‘In my excitement , I failed to prize, and acknowledge JAZ-O, he was the hometown hero that made the dream tangible . Thank you good man… ok let me lose this password for another year or so . Thank you all again , incredibly humbled by your love,’ he joked.

Before that, the rapper had used his account in March when he changed his Twitter handle to @sc and his display name to Mr. Carter. He later announced that he was selling the majority of his streaming service Tidal to Square, run by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey.

“I said from the beginning that Tidal was about more than just streaming music, and six years later, it has remained a platform that supports artists at every point in their careers. Artists deserve better tools to assist them in their creative journey,’ he stated.

‘Jack is one of the greatest minds of our times, and our many discussions about TIDAL’s endless possibilities have made me even more inspired about its future. This shared vision makes me even more excited to join the Square board. This partnership will be a game-changer for many. I look forward to all this new chapter has to offer!’ Jay Z added.
