LOS ANGELES, Dec 10 ― Jay-Z said yesterday that his new Western movieaims to correct misconceptions that all cowboys were white, wore ponchos and listened to “Italian guitar music.”

“There are a lot of people that would like that history to still stay uncovered,” Jay-Z told a virtual press conference. The rap mogul ― who is married to Beyonce ― also said the film had been educational to him personally, and that their young daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi were now “way ahead of the eight-ball” in their understanding of Black history.

But Jay-Z said taking a more strictly factual or documentary approach would have “got people to turn off” and reduced the movie's impact.
