Known as "Jazzy" around the neighborhood, Carter later adopted the showbiz/stage name "Jay-Z" in homage to his mentor Jaz-O. He would drop the hyphen in 2013, and add it back in 2017. 12/12/2017 10:33:44 AM |

I can't say with 100% certainty if that's the basis of his name. But he 100% did live in the part of Brooklyn serviced by the JZ subway lines. 12/13/2017 1:07:18 PM |

Ja HOVA

You should not tell lies about his real name. It is Jason Zoom, shortened from Zoomerango. 12/14/2017 5:26:22 PM |
