Jay-Z says privacy is the reason he and Beyonce won't talk about their wedding or marriage.

"I just think it's really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself," he tells Vibe in their September issue.

"You have to have something sacred to you and the people around you," the 38-year-old adds. "I shared so much of my life I should have something to hold on to."

Beyonce, 26, and Jay-Z tied the knot over three months ago in a "very special, very private, very intimate" rooftop ceremony, according to a source close to the pair. He was finally spotted with his wedding ring last week.

Jay-Z also tells Vibe why he's a strong supporter of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

"What [Obama] represents is, we as a people are part of the American Dream," he says. "We were left out of the dream at a certain point. Now the dream is, you can be anything and it's not cliche."

The rapper is featured on three special commemorative Vibe covers out August 18 for the magazine's 15th anniversary. The issue includes a comprehensive songography of his 450+ songs.

    Why do people really care. These people are entertainers, they have lives outside their careers, and are entitled to have their lives. Leave them alone!

    That is the way to be Jay, keep it private. When everyone is in your business that when things fall apart. Look at all the other stars that are so freely open about their marriage, they seems to fall apart within 1 or 2 yrs. Jada nad Will are in the spotlight but not really, you don't hear about their personal dram. Keep up the good work you two. Continue to be blessed and love each other.
