Jay-Z Accused Of Time Travel After He Appears In 1930s Photograph

Wednesday, 15 May 2013 Written by Elliott Batte

American superstar Jay-Z is a pretty talented guy - he can rap, he can produce music, he can act, and he’s even a bit of a businessman. But, this week he’s been accused of being able to do something that only the Doctor really knows how - time travel!

That’s because a picture - taken in Harlem, New York (not too far from where he was born!) way back in 1939 - appears to show a man bearing a striking resemblance to Jay-Z wearing a flat cap - and it’s sent Reddit and Buzzfeed into a frenzy, with users of both accusing Jay of being both a vampire or a time-traveller!

Originally posted on the the New York City Library Schomburg Centre’s Tumblr page, the picture comes with this caption:

“Does the man on the right remind you of someone? Perhaps it was his great-grandfather taking a break in Harlem in 1939. The photographer, we know for sure, was Sid Grossman. If you can put a (real) name on the young man, let us know.”

What do you think guys? Random coincidence, or is Jay-Z the next Doctor Who?! Leave us a comment with your answers in the box below!
