While celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, the legacy of JAY-Z continues to shine brightly, thanks to the Brooklyn Public Library. On the evening of October 2, 2023, the library hosted a special event to honor the Brooklyn billionaire and his mother, Dr. Gloria Carter.
The 24th annual Brooklyn Public Library Gala welcomed the iconic lyricist known for “Streets is Watching,” with an unfortunate absence by Dr. Carter. However, her famous son graciously accepted the honor on her behalf, with the award presented by New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

During his acceptance speech, Jay-Z couldn’t resist teasing his mother for her absence. He humorously shared, “I figured if these young men could speak on behalf of their dad, I could speak on behalf of my mom,” Jay said. “Dr. Gloria had to see a doctor earlier. She’s gonna be very upset that I told y’all that. She gave me a really bad excuse, and I couldn’t do it and lie to the good people of Brooklyn. “And I think my grandmother, Patty White’s birthday — he was there. That’s my cousin, Jamar [White]. Jamar’s a real cousin. You know you get a lot of cousins once you start making it. Noodles, we called him Noodles.’’
Jay-Z lightened the mood further by playfully suggesting that his mother’s absence might be attributed to a hangover. With a grin, he quipped, “I think she’s hungover. There’s no other way to put it. She wanted to be with you guys, but this is what she would want me to say. Y’all not taping this, are you?.”
