4 things we’d like to see on Jay Z’s Instagram

Michael Jackson’s birthday was on Saturday, and Jay Z decided to mark the occasion by joining Instagram to pay tribute to the late King of Pop. Unfortunately, the single post — a 2001 snap of Jackson and Jay Z at a Hot 97 Summer Jam concert — appears to be Hova’s first and last attempt to conquer the social-networking site, as he deactivated the account on Sunday.

But with an almost instant rush of 100,000 followers, wouldn’t it have been great if he’d followed in wife Beyoncé’s footsteps (Queen Bey clocks in as the second most-popular Instagram user with 44.4 million followers) and documented his family life? Even though it’s not likely to happen anytime soon, here are four things we’d love to see on @Hovsince96 — should he ever decide to come back.

Jay Z and Beyoncé’s PDA


Even though the first family of hip-hop is very private when it comes to their personal lives, we’d love to see the couple be more affectionate with each other — a simple peck on the lips or a pinch on the booty would suffice.

Blue Ivy’s morning routine


With the start of school approaching, everyone has their own morning routine — and the Carters are surely no different. Given Beyoncé’s hectic schedule, wouldn’t it be great to watch a video of Jay Z attempting to style Blue Ivy’s hair?

Jay and Bey’s date night


Every couple needs some alone time — but instead of the usual pap shot or grainy under-the-table snap by a random bystander, we’d all enjoy a clear frame of the famous couple enjoying a meal (and an answer to the long-awaited question as to who picks up the tab).

The holidays


We may be used to turkeys, hams, toys and gift cards around the holiday season — but in the Carter household, gift giving must go to a whole new level. Do you know what Beyoncé gave her hubby for Christmas last year? Neither do we — but with the power of Instagram we’d be able to find out.
