Although months may have passed since word first leaked that Jay-Z and long-time girlfriend Beyoncé tied the knot, the hip-hop star finally talks about his marriage—and defends the couple’s decision to keep the details of their wedding private.

According to MTV.com, interviewer Elliot Wilson from “Vibe” magazine asked the rapper 15 questions – with No. 15 being, after Jay-Z had referred to Beyoncé as a “friend”:

“You said your ‘friend,’ but this is your wife. Are you still not willing to confirm?”

”That’s ridiculous for me to confirm,” replies Jay-Z. “I don’t have … I’m gonna say, I think that was a ridiculous question. I just think it’s really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself.”

Jay-Z continues to then say: “You have to, or you’ll go insane in this type of business. You have to have something that’s sacred to you and the people around you.”
