Jay-Z gives his opinion on whether or not he would want to pursue acting like many other famous rappers have in the past and also in the present and he made it a very simple answer for everyone as he really just is not a fan of acting.

Jay talked about the rumor that surfaced about him being in ‘Belly’, “That’s a rumor. Because of how guarded I was, I hated acting. This is why I don’t act, because I would get in my way. I would be thinking, ‘No, I don’t wanna do something that I ain’t gonna look cool.'”

He went on and said, “But you know, I was young and immature. Or I was young mentally. You know, if you see our own movies, I was in for like 30 seconds and I wasn’t even speaking.”

He continued, “I had no idea how Nas did that because I felt like he was in the same place as me. But he did it and he made it work. But I never was meant to be in Belly. I don’t even know where that came from.”
