Jay-Z might be married to the hottest singer, but the rapper recently revealed that he has a secret celebrity crush and it's on someone other than Beyoncé. During a recent interview with Essence, Nia Long said she caught up with Jay at an event where the 41-year-old actress complimented him on his career.

“I saw him at a party and I complimented him on his long run in music,” she said. “But he turned it around and asked me: ‘How does it feel to be every boy from the hood’s fantasy girlfriend for 20 years?’ It made me laugh, I hadn’t really thought about it.”

Well Jay-Z's crush, Nia Long, is dating Ime Udoka and has a child with the basketball player, but we don't think the rapper's love life has turned out half bad either.
