Samphire State of Mind: Jay Z is going to have a go at being vegan for a bit

Jay Z is celebrating his 44th birthday in the most baller way possible on earth: he’s going to fill a limousine with champagne and then fire bullets into it until it explodes. Sorry, wait, we’re just getting a phoneca–
…
CORRECTION: Jay Z is celebrating his 44th birthday by being a vegan for 22 days. Biggie, Tupac, please come back.

Jay Z and Beyonce innit

 

Writing on his Very Important Blog Life + Times, Jay said: “On December 3rd, one day before my 44th birthday, I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based!!” Jay Z is literally writing on his blog about his vegan phase. He is officially a teenage girl.
Apparently Jay has chosen his exactly moment to spend three weeks and a day trying to make kale even remotely edible because of the serendipity of the whole thing. “There’s something spiritual to me about it being my 44th birthday and the serendipity behind the number of days in this challenge; 22 (2+2=4) coupled with the fact that the challenges ends on Christmas day…It just feels right!”

Beyonce has been sharing pictures of vegetables on Instagram

 

Jay added that first started getting his veeg on a few months ago, when a friend challenged him to start each day with a ‘plant-based’ breakfast. “It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought,” he said.
He finished the update by appealing for any “professional vegans” out there to holler at him if they know any tight, tight, tight places to eat, and confirmed that ye–ah, Beyoncé would be joining him too. No word on whether Blue Ivy will be allowed turkey dinosaurs with her potato waffles, though.
