On Sunday, social media was brimming with rumors about a possible Jay Z 2024 album being in the works. The speculations were ignited when director Hidji World (also associated with A$AP Rocky's agency) took to his Instagram stories to post a few implicative snaps.

One of these pictures featured a white slate board, obviously marking the arrival of a new Jay Z album this year. It also suggested that the director was shooting for the rapper's upcoming music video. The same board, dated January 28, also highlighted his name as the director, while Leroy Farrell was listed as the director of photography.

Stepping in, the Jay Z company quickly shut down the rumors calling out a post on X (formerly Twitter) mentioning that a new Jay Z album for 2024 was on the horizon. “That's news to us”, Roc Nation commented via the quote option, thus highlighting the post on its own X page as well.
