Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z pulled out all the stops to celebrate a major milestone in his family — his grandmother’s 100th birthday.https://www.facebook.com/100067867727102/posts/pfbid02BfmV7jnVzKpGRsXeTj6PZBUAiDmhEmEug7cJhUWWjnjo1SB6C2D4KQM8ZXrxxALel/?app=fbl
The glamorous affair, held over the weekend at a private venue in New York, was a star-studded tribute to a woman he called the “pillar of our family.”
Surrounded by family and close friends, the centenarian, affectionately known as Grandma Hattie, looked radiant as she marked a century of life, love, and legacy.
The celebration was nothing short of spectacular, featuring custom décor, live performances, heartfelt speeches, and a guest list filled with music and entertainment royalty.
Among the high-profile attendees were Jay-Z’s wife Beyoncé, legendary rapper Nas, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who each took a moment to pay tribute to the birthday matriarch. Beyoncé reportedly performed a soulful rendition of “Ave Maria,” while Martin gave a surprise acoustic performance of Coldplay’s hit “Fix You.”
In a touching moment, Grandma Hattie delivered a brief but powerful message. “I’ve seen the world change, grow, and stumble, but through it all, love and faith kept me strong,” she said, drawing applause and a few tears from the crowd.
Jay-Z, known for keeping his personal life private, shared rare insights into his grandmother’s influence during a toast. “She taught us resilience, dignity, and how to carry ourselves with grace — values I try to pass on to my own children,” he said.
Social media was abuzz with photos and clips from the event, with fans praising the Carter family’s display of love and respect for their matriarch.
At 100 years old, Grandma Hattie remains a powerful reminder that strength, wisdom, and family are truly timeless.
