Jay Z Quits Instagram in Record Time

Hov doesn't seem to like social media.

The handle, @HovSince96, is officially a wrap with no explanation.

Jay Z joined and quit Instagram in record time, deleting his alleged account after just one post over the weekend. The lucky selection was a tribute photo on what would’ve been Michael Jacksons 57th birthday.

In hindsight, Hovito basically warned us that he wasn’t going to last long on Instagram. “Happy Birthday to the King! This may be my first and last post,” he wrote. 

While his wife may have over 44.5 million followers on the 'Gram, Jay is more private when it comes to sharing stuff with the world, and the feeling extends to Twitter. The account is still active, but he only tweets on rare occasion, like this past April to defend Tidal against backlash.

Social media just isn’t his thing.
