Additionally, the movie features music from the hip-hop star as well as Jeymes Samuel, who also directs and writes the movie. "The Book of Clarence" will be released in theaters on January 12, 2024.
The Roc Nation founder first joined Instagram in November 2021. At the time, he also only followed Beyonce while racking up more than a million followers. In his first post and Story, Jay-Z shared a countdown for the release of Netflix movie "The Harder They Fall", which he executive produced.
The rapper/businessman/record executive, however, seemed to lose interest in Instagram shortly after. He made headlines after deleting his account only one day later.
