Rapper Jay-Z recently revealed he can't eat chicken since it reminds him of his poor childhood.
“We ate a lot of chicken, you know, because chicken’s cheap, we had so much chicken - chicken backs, chicken everything," he said in an interview withO magazine.
"To this day, I can only eat small pieces or else I feel funny."
In the same interview, Jay-Z also described what it felt like to have his dad leave the family when he was younger.
“When you’re growing up, your dad is your superhero," he said. Adding, "Once you’ve let yourself fall that in love with someone, once you put him on such a high pedestal and he lets you down, you never want to experience that pain again."
“I remember just being really quiet and really cold. Never wanting to let myself get close to someone like that again. I carried that feeling throughout my life, until my father and I met up before he died."
