- BY ZOE SHENTON

JAY Z has finally revealed why he and Beyonce named their twins Rumi and Sir.

The Sorry hitmaker, 35, introduced the new additions to the Carter family on social media last month, writing: “Sir Carter and Rumi 1 month today.”

And speaking to Rap Radar on Friday about how the pair came to choose the names, the 47-year-old said: “Rumi is our favourite poet, so it was for our daughter.”

While speaking about his little boy, the 4:44 rapper added: “Sir was like, man, come out the gate. He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir.”

Jay Z also talked about how Blue, aged five, came to rap on his latest album.

He said: “She got the headphones, she climbed on the little stool and then she just started rapping.”
