Boots' Debut
The producer (Beyonce, FKA Twigs) will release a debut named 'AQUARIA.'

MTV just spotted a new Instagram account, @hovsince96, with a single post — a photo of Jay Z and Michael Jackson. The King of Pop would have turned 57 years old on August 29, so like many others (Michael’s siblings Jermaine and LaToya, Justin Bieber, Beyonce), @hovsince96 was wishing him a happy birthday.

Did Jay Z join Instagram? Furthermore, did he create an account just for Michael Jackson? The caption does sound like Hov, who barely dabbles in social media: “This may be my first and last post.”

Happy Birthday to the King! This may be my first and last post.

Back in 2013, Jay hosted a Twitter Q&A that lasted for seven hours, where he said that his favorite Michael Jackson song is “Human Nature.” He wouldn’t tweet nearly as much again until this year, when his streaming service Tidal received its first wave of bad press.

Michael Kyser, Atlantic’s president of black music, even told his followers to check out @hovsince96 — even though Jay is apparently only there for one post and one post only. See below.

Follow my brother @Hovsince96 ASAP!
