He famously hit the studio just days after his daughter was born to record a song sampling her very first sounds, but now Jay-Z has revealed he's taking a break from music to spend time with Blue Ivy and wife Beyonce at home.

In a new interview, Jay-Z has revealed he thought the birth of his first born would inspire him to pen some new tracks.

But instead he prefers hanging out with Blue Ivy - and new mum Beyonce - at home.

In fact, so enamoured is Jay with the adorable tot, that the rapper has pledged to take a break from music, and spend time with Blue Ivy instead.

'After my daughter was born I thought I would be more inspired with all the new feelings and everything that I'd have to write about, he explained to MTV, 'but it really happened the other way'.

'I just really wanna hang out with her. I just wanna enjoy those moments for a bit and I'm sure that feeling of music will come back to me.'

Well that's settled, then.
