However, the 23-time Grammy winner came out to reaffirm his love for the north Londoners.

“After that game the press started reporting that I was a Manchester City fan, I am really glad all that has been cleared up and that everybody in the UK knows that I am an Arsenal fan," Jay-Z explained, per NME.

The father of three went on to disclose that Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry was the reason he started supporting the Mikel Arteta-tutored side.

The Gunners came close to winning the Premier League title for the first time since 2004, only for City to beat them to the crown in the latter stages of the campaign.
