lol the pic next to lebron is clearly tilted. jay-z is 6'1.5" and that is what a strong 6'1" man looks like next to a 6'7" behemoth when you look at the pic correctly.
josh says on 25/Feb/10
wow good picture gunter. first he gets owned by nas and now he gets owned by lebron in height but in the death of autotune video he didn't look that short to lebron. by the way how tall is beanie segel looks maybe 5'9 or 5'10 to me and he is really mad at jay right now lmao. Sarah says on 20/Feb/10
I'd say 6ft2/6ft2.5 , because he was around an inch or so taller than 6ft1 Jonathan Ross on the jonathan Ross show. Reason says on 16/Feb/10
He's looks like a 6 footer...with the right footwear..not to mention extra soles..it can give the impression of being 6'1 to 6'2 gunter says on 15/Feb/10
Jay looks no taller than 6'0 with 6'7 lebron james. Click Here josh says on 12/Jan/10
i hope what keara said isn't true because beyonce might be 5'3 that ebony had her at. Lenad says on 31/Dec/09
Yeah Hugh. A good 188cm when he wakes out of bed. I wouldnt rule out 189cm either out of bed. 190cm is pushing it Hugh 190-192cm says on 30/Dec/09
That would make Jay-Z a weak 6"2 guy lenad? Lenad says on 29/Dec/09
188.6cm out of bed Hugh 191cm says on 24/Dec/09
not under 186cm Keara says on 7/Dec/09
beyonce is 5'7 flat foot, i saw a picture of her and jay standing side by side in which she was wearing at least 6 inch heels which would make her approximately 6'1 an jay z was much taller then her at least 4 inches. I would say he's a good 6'5 5\'9Guy says on 5/Dec/09
That 6'1.5 can't be His fuse concert in NewYork he has on. Seakers and. He gives John Mayor a pound after and they look almost the same height (btw John Mayor is 6'3 barefoot) Hugh 191cm says on 25/Nov/09
6ft 3in minimum in boots. So just under 6ft 2in barefoot. Brad says on 25/Nov/09
As listed is about correct. Wears big boots. Hugh 191cm says on 24/Nov/09
Snoop Dogg 192-193cm, Jay Z 187-188cm, P Diddy 178-179cm and 50 cent 182-183cm. ro says on 23/Nov/09
I am 5'2" and he towered over me (and everyone else) when I saw him on the plane to London on the 15th Nov. Very tall!!!! Anonymous says on 1/Nov/09
Im 6 even and met jayz face to face and he seemed to be at least 2 inches taller than me! And thick too he looked like a solid 200 plus Hugh 191cm says on 21/Sep/09
187-188cm T-man says on 19/Sep/09
I saw Jay last night, I'm 6ft 1 exactly and he was just a bit taller so 187 is perfect. Candyman says on 23/Aug/09
Larry Johnson is wearing timbs in that pic and most likely lifts as well. Freestuff says on 11/Aug/09
Hugh 191cm says on 9/Aug/09
A perfect 6ft1.75 man.
Yet hes an inch shorter at least than 6-0.75 Larry Johnson. Face it, Jay Z barely scrapes 6-0. Mathew says on 10/Aug/09
Mo says on 19/May/09
Jay-Z is the very least 6'6''...saw him yesterday...I'm 6'5''and he's def an inch or 2 taller than me.
Mo, you're 6'0". Jay Z is most likely strong 6'1", but never near 6'6" lol. Hugh 191cm says on 9/Aug/09
A perfect 6ft1.75 man. FreeStuff says on 21/Jul/09
Wow, another good picture where 6-1 Larry Johnson has 1-1.5 inches on Jay Z
Click Here sean bell says on 13/Jul/09
I watched the 2009 BET awards and he looked like he was 6ft3 or something. He looked definetely tall, unless it was his shoes Mark D. says on 9/Jun/09
I met him when I was doing security at a show. I'm a bit over 6'4", there was three inches difference. His posture is normal. So 6'1.5" is very accurate. Gingersn says on 29/May/09
Lebron is 6-7. Stella says on 29/May/09
He is no more than 5'7" 180 lbs...I was shocked when i saw him in a restaurant last night....he is very small.... Damon says on 28/May/09
There is no way in hell that Jay-Z is 6'6. Just saw him beside 6'8 LeBron James and he looked like a dwarf. 6'2 is very generous. Hugh 190cm says on 28/May/09
lol 6ft6. 6ft1.5-6ft2. Mo says on 19/May/09
Jay-Z is the very least 6'6''...saw him yesterday...I'm 6'5''and he's def an inch or 2 taller than me. Hugh 190cm says on 17/May/09
I agree with that Lenad. Lenad says on 23/Apr/09
I think hes most likely a weak 6'2. 187-188cm Truth says on 20/Apr/09
solid 6'2''..he just has bad posture. Olly Bassett says on 5/Apr/09
I agree with Doug, he looked taller than Jonathon Ross by at least an inch; I think Ross even mentioned he was tall. I'd give Ross 6' 1" and Jay Z 6' 2". Candyman says on 12/Mar/09
Looks 6'2" to me but who really knows. Doug says on 4/Mar/09
He looked a strong 6'2" 188cm to me on Jonathan Ross, possible 189cm. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 16/Feb/09
I would say 187cm-188cm. Zach #2 says on 14/Feb/09
TELLEM, Diddy is 5ft 10.5" MAX, that would make Jay-Z 6ft 1.5" as stated. TELLEM says on 25/Jan/09
next to p. diddy (if diddy IS 5'11) he looks about 6'2 Hugh says on 19/Jan/09
He could be 6ft2 but over that I'm not so certain off. jay89 says on 5/Jan/09
i know that i tend to say that people are taller than listed here.. but i really think that he's a strong 6'2. his broad shoulders, hip hop clothing and bad posture give a much shorter illusion though.
i'd bet my ass on that if he stood up straight he would be a hair over 6'2".
jonathan ross also described him as a strong 6'2" on his show. Lenad says on 27/Dec/08
If he stood up straight I'd go for at least 6'1. J.J. says on 25/Dec/08
Whitley, a 4 inch heels give 3 inches in height whether there is a platform or not the platform has been made to make you feel comfortable. so basically you have to wear a 5 inch heel to become 6'0" jacky burton says on 15/Dec/08
Interesting, I thought for sure that he was below 6'! I thought it's because he appears to be a fairly stocky guy. Brad says on 13/Dec/08
He's 6' 1" in his NYPD jacket. Fits in person if you meet him. Wears stealth Timbs or customs. Easy to confuse. J.J. says on 11/Dec/08
it is possible for him to be 6'1.75" Lenad says on 30/Nov/08
Apparently this guy has gone from looking as high as 6'3 and as low as 6'0! Whitley says on 30/Nov/08
I have to say 6'0 at the most im 5'8 had on at the most 4 inch heels with a 2inch platform in the front I was taller than him by an inch or 2. He even looked short from a distance to the point i didnt think it was him, that def.. makes Beyonce 5'7 claim def invalid. Lenad says on 27/Nov/08
If he stood up straight I can see 186cm at the lowest. Bob Dole says on 19/Oct/08
On here Taylor Swift is taller and she's 5'11
Click Here Lenad says on 18/Oct/08
He looks about 6'2 if he stood straight Blackray says on 5/Oct/08
Definitely taller than UK chat show host Johnathan Ross by 2 cm hence 186-187 cm max. wedge says on 25/Sep/08
6'1.5" sounds right. I've seen him a couple times. He has terrible posture but always looks tall. The only people taller than him are the REALLY tall guys. It's a good height because you don't have to stand up straight and you're still taller than most people. And you can never be mistaken for average height. Chris says on 26/Aug/08
i saw him at the suns vs rockets game in houston when i was working out of town in houston i am 5'8 and he was much taller than me i would say 6'2 but i couldnt get close to him cause of security the closest i got was 10 feet or so away Bruce says on 20/Aug/08
HE IS A FULL BLOWN 6'2". I MEAN COME ON HE WAS OVER AN INCH TALLER THAN JONATHAN ROSS G says on 12/Aug/08
GUYS CALM DOWN. HE WAS ON THE J.V. AND ELVIS SHOW ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY ASKED HIM HOW TALL WAS HE. HE LAUGHED AND REPLIED, "IM 6'2". Scott says on 19/Jul/08
Rob?
Something's got to give here ... either Jay Z is AT LEAST the height he says he is. OR Ross is not 6'1.5".
I appreciate a downgrade for Ross would send this site into meltdown and involve 100s of regrades ... so perhaps give Jay Z the full 6'2" he claims, or the 6'2.5" he looks :) Alex says on 16/Jul/08
Viper, I would say he's 6'1 barefoot but can give a 5'11-6'0 impression at times. When I saw him on stage at a Linkin Park concert this past February. I would have said 6'0 tops. jay says on 14/Jul/08
he was clearly taller than 6'1.5" jonathan ross on friday night.
check out this clip if you dont believe me. i think he's a strong 6'2"
Click Here Catsman says on 10/Jul/08
Pause Scott's YouTube clip at 1:32 or 1:33 and you can see that Jay Z is at least an inch taller than Jonathan Ross, and he still looks to have a lazy stance (Jay Z). I'd say the height gap is larger. How tall is Ross bare foot, really? Brad says on 5/Jul/08
Saw him again in Vegas. 6' 1" plus big footwear. His bodyguards are buildings so he looks smaller than you'd realize. Nice guy but his club is getting bad vibes. amber says on 2/Jul/08
he dont look 6'2 people say he looks mad tall idk and idc cause i aint never c him in real life. Scott says on 1/Jul/08
Hey Rob - an upgrade is required here.
Jay Z is 100% taller than Ross. Ross is in dress shoes and Zee is in sneakers:
Click Here
Ross readily, clumsily and slightly embarrassingly notes Jay Z is taller than he is. Ross is 6'1.5 therefore Jay Z is 6'2 MINIMUM.
In my humble opinion ;)
Hopefully the youtube clip is pretty conclusive. Sid says on 28/Jun/08
Jonathan Ross said last night (not in exact quotes) 'wow i thoought a little guy was gonna come out, you bigger than me your a good six footer, six two something like that' he did have easy 0.5 in on ross. Bruce says on 27/Jun/08
i will definately give jay-z a strong 6'1.75" nearly 6'2" because he is very tall. No wonder he claims 6'2" Rhonda says on 27/Jun/08
he was on the johnathan ross show tonight and he was the same height as ross Alex says on 18/Jun/08
Eminem could be 5'8 too. No more than that though. If Eminem is 5'7 than Fred Durst is no more than that too. mimi says on 1/May/08
he is 6'2,but he look damn tall in diz pix,as if he wear high heels Alex says on 22/Feb/08
I went to a Linkin Park concert last night and I was on the floor and pretty close to the stage when Jay-Z made a special appearance and I tell you he didn't look 6'1 but I could be wrong since I was on the ground and he was on stage. He looked more 5'11 to me to be honest. I was suprised because he looks 6'1 on tv and in pictures. DJ 5 Star says on 15/Jan/08
Let me end the rumors. Jay is about 6'2". I stand at the same height and have DJed at clubs that he has been in. He looks to be almost 6'3", but he's right at it. Marc says on 10/Dec/07
I saw Jay Z at Paris airport last saturday december 8th. He walks beside me wiht Beyonce and 2 bodyguards.First I tought it was Usher! Because he is definitly shorter than 6'3. I really think that Jay Z is 6' or 6'1. No way he is taller that that! J says on 13/Nov/07
Jay-z seems to be 6-2 to 6-4 range. Next to lebron james he only seemed to be 3 to 4 inches shorter and i think Lebron is 6'8. I read 50 cent being 6'0 which seems short for him. Al says on 9/Oct/07
in 2003 when the lakers lost to the nets in blowout fashion in NJ i was there. at the time i was a freshman in highschool but i was 6ft tall. i know this because i had recently joined the football team where the physician took our height and weight. and i met Jay at the game and got his autograph. all my friends and i kept sayin was that we never new jay-z was that short he was 5'10" EZ.jay-z lied, and the guy in the picture is just tryin to compensate for some reason Kate says on 17/Sep/07
Met Jay Z at the MTV premier at UN last year. He is 6'2" to 6'3". He is not massive as someone wrote below. He is actually quite slim. sofia says on 1/Sep/07
AAAA says on 15/Aug/07
He looks close to 6'2 in this pic and he isn't even standing straight AAAA says on 15/Aug/07

Jay-Z is 38. Ben says on 12/Aug/07
Just to give Leonardi a heads up, he's over 40 dude. leonari says on 5/Aug/07
Matthew: Such bull****. Really. You are...Jay isn't even 40 !!! At that age when you are healthy you don't lose any height. How old are you 10? Check your facts before posting stupidities. Matthew says on 4/Aug/07
Urr, Jay-z Is definately not 6'3 now, he wouldnt undercut his own height..although, i guess it is possible for him to have lost an inch since his "prime"...lets not forget, the man is nearly 40 now, and btw, Timms give you 2 inches, not 3-4. I assume he is 6'1/ 6'1 1/2 bare foot, which in timms, would bring him to 6'3...i can't see him being 6'2, that would mean in footwear (timms, airmax etc..) he would be 6'4 ...which he has never looked, so i give him 6'1 barefoot, 6'2 in shoes/trainers, 6'3 in timms maybe. d says on 28/Jul/07
jay looks taller than rob bourdon, drummer of linkin park, who's about 6'2-3 ..he should be about 6'4. dmeyer says on 2/Jul/07
if straight about 6'2 Gwen says on 23/May/07
I believe if the man say he is 6'2 he's 6'2 i really don't care i love him with his fine ass Brad says on 20/Apr/07
I pulled his NYPD arrest jacket. He's 6' 1". Anthony says on 10/Apr/07
I saw pics where Denzel was taller than Jay-Z, believe it or not. I do think he's around 6'1, though. Erik says on 17/Mar/07
Me friends met Jay-z and Beanie Segal at a basketball game a while back. I was 5'10" at the time and he towerd over me. i also saw a picture of him with snoop dogg and snoop had him by a little bit. not much. plus air force ones actually give u almost a inch Clash says on 9/Mar/07
saw Jay Z yesterday on the street as he came out of an Art Gallery. I am 6'2" he is definitely shorter. I'd say around 6' even. It was cold so maybe he was slouching. J. says on 23/Feb/07
Jay-Z and "The King": Click Here
He's defintely in the 6'1" range. And still hideously ugly after all these years. Top Cat says on 7/Jan/07
I know Jay-Z. Ran into him so many times he thought I was a b list star or something. He's 6.3, I'm 6.1, he was atleast 2 inch taller than me. Brad says on 8/Dec/06
Depends on his footwear. He goes from low cut sneakers to dress shoes to big a$$ boots. The guy was 6' 3" with me shaking his hand in boots. I'll give him around 6' 1" plus the added. His bodyguard was gigantic...not Snoop bodyguard large...but in shape 6' 7". Lil D says on 21/Nov/06
I saw an episode of TRL with Jay-Z and Denzel Washington. Well Denzel looked about 2 inches or maybe even 3 inches taller than Jay-Z. Now Denzel had on a suit and most likely dress shoes while Jay-Z had on street clothes and tennis shoes so that might have gave him an advantage...but he really looked way shorter. Also Denzel was standing up very straight while Jay-Z had his usual slouch. Alex says on 19/Nov/06
He's at least 6'1, maybe 6'1.5 like he's listed here. Timberland boots really give you 1.5 inches of height, not 2-3. Well at least the ones I got give just 1.5 inches. Brad says on 3/Nov/06
Yeah, he wore those Timberland boots. I'll go to 6' 1" now. Those things add 2-3 inches. Emily says on 18/Oct/06
i thought he was taller...hmm guess he just looks tall. D. Ray Morton says on 17/Oct/06
Timberlands have about 1.5" in sole height. 3" would be the special KISS model (they recently changed their costumes to fit more of a Village People theme, lord knows why). Jason says on 16/Oct/06
He wears Timberland boots all the time, my brother has those boots they add at least 2-3 inches
[Padraig: Nonsense. 2-3 inches, you throw that out there showing you have no idea how much. 3 inches is a f***ing heel height :=)
No offence Jason, but 1.5 inches might be more realistic. Sorry if I come across harsh.] Anonymous says on 12/Oct/06

I met jay-z at trl last year when he brought NE-yo in and 50 cent was also there promoting his movie, i can say that i shook hands with jay-z as he passed right by me towards the end of the shot. im 5"11 and have always wondered how tall Jay was, i can tell u that he is 6"1-6"1/2. tops!!! trust me on this 6"1 is the most accurate you can get without measuring him in person lol Brad says on 6/Aug/06
Solid 6' 3" when I ran into him. I had him beat by 2". He likes to play black jack at The Bellagio. Nice guy. Jeff says on 2/Aug/06
Definitly on the dot. I met him in my restaurant @ Morimoto and he is 6'1". He was wearing white uptowns so at would give him a extra inch. young t says on 20/Apr/06
in his latest internets chat on rocafella.com he says he is 6'2
[Editor Rob: why thank you for pointing this out young t!!!
JAY Z - "I'm really short. LOL. That was a joke. I'm not really short. My attempt at humor. I'm 6'2"

~Nate~ says on 6/Apr/06
I remember when I almost met Jay Z a few years back at the Beverly Center. He walked right past me, if thats what a 6'1 man is suppose to look like that makes no sense what so ever. He was a good 3 inches if not more taller then me. This kid is tall, and I was wearing my Aldo boots when I met him which made me a little taller prolly like 6'1. So If I was 6'1 in those boots theres no way Jay was 6'1, he was wearing sneakers and like I said was still at least 3 inches taller then me, this 6'1 stuff is BS.
[Editor Rob: well, technically we're giving him 187cm ;-)
but, is this guy the same height as say Terrell Owens who is measured just about 6ft 3
maybe he is?] Eddd says on 25/Mar/06
No WAY. I know him even more personally, I'm his home boy. And he's no less than 7'4" ComeON says on 14/Mar/06
Jay-Z 6'3,I know him personally and he is defintely a solid 6'3....Get it right people. dmeyer says on 25/Feb/06
6'2" seems right CoolJ says on 23/Feb/06
Willz: are we supposed to take the opinion of someone who says "shyt" seriously?
Hamilton easily has 4" on him.. maybe more. 6'1.5 looks good to me. CBlack says on 19/Feb/06
Jay can't be more than 6'1", 6'1.5" at the most. I stood right next to him at the 40/40 club. I'm 5'6" or 5'9" with heels and my fiance is 6'2" and Jay-Z was a little shorter than him. Ujane, Moscow says on 14/Feb/06
