As a New Jersey native, it always excites me when the greats come to our fabulous state! (Which they do often because we’re the best, obvz!) Over the weekend, Jay Z and Beyonce took a quick break from their ‘On The Run’ tour, and jetted over to the Garden State to attend the grand opening of his mom Gloria Carter’s new restaurant in Newark, Diamondz N Da Ruff. Hov’s mother has been living in New Jersey for many years now, so it comes as no surprise that she’d open a business here as well. No word on the type of food they’ll be serving just yet, but as for the name – we couldn’t think of anything a little less…hood?
Oh, and good news for fans of Bey-Z: the rumored-to-be “troubled” couple mingled for around 15 minutes for the ribbon cutting and champagne toast, and were all smiles with each other and with Jay’s mom. There were no professional photographers allowed either, so it seems as though this was genuine and not for the media! Check out more pics from the event below. JERSEY, son!
