Jay-Z addicted to art

Jay-Z is hooked on high art thanks to wife Beyonce - and may even exhibit the costly craze.

The hip-hop mogul insists his collection is merely a high-brow hobby, but he is considering turning professional once he quits the music industry.

He said: "Bey (Beyonce) is really into art and now I am too. I'm building a collection but at the moment I am just buying things I like and seeing where it takes me.

"I have a lot of pieces from Damien Hirst and Richard Price - they are incredible artists. Damien Hirst's 'Beat Life, Cheat Death' piece was inspired by one of my songs, so that was cool.

"When I finally hang up the microphone I could even exhibit my own collection."
