The power couple, who wed in a private ceremony in April 2008, will exchange surnames. Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, will now be known as Shawn Knowles-Carter. Beyonce will keep Jay’s last name and remain Beyonce Knowles-Carter as listed on the wedding certificate.

Funny thing is . . . I see him being a catalyst for change in American culture.
I do it, everyone laughs . . . Hov does it, it becomes a trend.

Remember the outcry when he did a whole album with Linkin Park.
Right now, even Nas has a backing live band cheesy cheesy

Hov is a trendsetter. . .he'll surely change everyone's attitude to this, no sarcasm intended cheesy cheesy
Re: Jay-Z To Be Known As Shawn Knowles-Carter by Nobody: 4:06am On Dec 28, 2009
AA males taking on their wife's last name isnt a new thing. At least its not news to me.

It's not the question of how new it is, I'm talking about it's social reception.
Jay-Z doing it will likely make the social acceptability sky-rocket.

Sumn like what Oprah and Ellen have done for gay people.

http://wordonthestreetsmag.com/rumors-jay-z-will-now-be-called-shawn-carter-knowles-huh/

Media sources are reporting that rapper Jay-Z AKA Shawn Carter will be taking on Beyonce’s Last name. How absurd is this rumor? Well sources are reporting that the reason for the move of Jay-Z taking on his wife Beyonce Knowles’ last name is an effort to maintain her family’s legacy.

The power couple, who wed in a private ceremony in April 2008, will exchange surnames. Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, will now be known as Shawn Knowles-Carte[/b]r. Beyonce will keep Jay’s last name and remain [b]Beyonce Knowles-Carter as listed on the wedding certificate.

According to an anonymous source, the move will ensure the Knowles name lives on, since Beyonce’s parents have no sons, and Beyonce sister Solange Knowles’ son Daniel Julez Smith, Jr carries his father’s last name.

“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,” the source stated to the UK’s Daily Star.
