It's not often you hear Jay-Z spilling the beans on his inner most feelings - but the superstar rapper has opened up and talked about his own childhood and fears for bringing up baby Blue Ivy.

Appearing in a promo video for his new album Magna Carta Holy Grail, the 43-year-old says how his dad abandoned him as a kid and he was worried about being a good parent to his 16-month-old daughter.

He says: "'My pop left when I was young, so he didn't teach me to be a man, nor how to raise a child or how to treat a woman.

"Of course my karma, the two things I need, I don't have. And I have a daughter. It's the paranoia of not being a great dad."

Mr Beyonce - whose new album is out on July 9 - is seen chatting with legendary producer and mentor Rick Rubin about Jay-Z Blue, a single about his daughter.

He says: "She's something that we both created. We still marvel at her."

The music lord also touches on fatherhood in his song 'Heaven' which he said “is toying with the idea of it being heaven or hell on earth.

“For me, my idea is, heaven is in your daughter’s laughter. Hell could be if your child was missing for three minutes, you’re in three minutes of hell.”

Or if they don't stop screaming.
