The tender and caring husband of singer R & B, Beyoncé, Jay-Z may well appreciate the talent of his wife, he is nonetheless careful and very honest! The producer does not accept that his wife, as gifted as it is, is put on the same plane as the King Of The Pop, Michael Jackson died June 25, 2009. He told a Miami radio "What I learned is similar to what I learned from Michael Jackson, but I also know it's blasphemy to compare, because Mike has all but invented I think it comes second."
