DID JAY-Z SIGN ASTRO? There is a rumor on the block that this kid Astro aka the Astronomical Kid has been signed by Jay-Z. This is the kid that was on X-Factor and was kicked off. I never saw it, but I heard that he had a lil’ too much swag or something. He’s a 15 year old from BKNY, just like Jay. Jay-Z reportedly said: “I first heard about this exciting new talent and decided to watch some of his performances. Not only was I impressed with his performance, but to see the confidence he sang with, his lyrics and diction were on point.” Seems like they are going to get Willow and Astro in the studio now that they are both under the Roc umbrella.
