After he was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Jay-Z tweeted and made a joke about his social media presence as well through a Twitter post.

“In my excitement , I failed to prize, and acknowledge JAZ-O, he was the hometown hero that made the dream tangible . Thank you good man… ok let me lose this password for another year or so. Thank you all again, incredibly humbled by your love,” the rapper posted.
