London, Dec 24 (ANI): In an interview, Jay-Z has revealed that he can’t stomach eating chicken as it reminds him of his poor childhood.

The rapper revealed that growing up with little money meant they didn’t have ‘elaborate meals’.

“We ate a lot of chicken, you know, because chicken’s cheap, we had so much chicken - chicken backs, chicken everything… to this day, I can only eat small pieces or else I feel funny,” the Mirror quoted him as saying in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in her O magazine.

In the interview, Jay-Z also opened up about the ‘anger’ he felt when his dad left his family when he was 11.

“When you’re growing up, your dad is your superhero. Once you’ve let yourself fall that in love with someone, once you put him on such a high pedestal and he lets you down, you never want to experience that pain again,” he said.

“I remember just being really quiet and really cold. Never wanting to let myself get close to someone like that again. I carried that feeling throughout my life, until my father and I met up before he died,” he added. (ANI)
