Hov’s rep confirmed the news, and not only we will need to get used to adding a hyphen, the name will be spelled in all capital letters. Yes, JAY-Z.

The news comes after the release of the trailer for rapper’s upcoming album 4:44, where the name shows as “JAY:Z” to match the colon in the album title.
4:44 will be available to Sprint and Tidal customers next Friday, June 30th.
