Jay-Z has acknowledged his union to Beyonce Knowles to a cameraman, despite being spotted without a wedding ring on.

The rapper has been said to have exchanged vows with the Crazy In Love singer on Friday at a lavish ceremony in New York, although both star’s representatives have yet to confirm the wedding.

However, when a video cameraman for TMZ congratulated Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter on getting married, the hip-hop superstar replied: "Thanks, man."

Singers John Legend, Alicia Keys and Mary J. Blige and rapper Snoop Dogg have all since extended their warm wishes to the couple.
