Beyonce Knowles - Jay-Z Hit The Studio Day After Wedding

Rap superstar JAY-Z refused to put his recording commitments on hold following his wedding to longtime beau BEYONCE KNOWLES - he headed straight back into the studio less than 24 hours after exchanging vows.

The Big Pimpin' hitmaker - real name Shawn Carter - wed Knowles in a low-key ceremony on 4 April (08), during a brief break between concert dates for his Heart of the City tour with hip-hop/soul queen Mary J. Blige.

And producer Jermaine Dupri insists Jay-Z's work regime hasn't changed since marrying the Crazy In Love star - instead of enjoying some time off with his new wife, he returned to the recording booth on 5 April (08).

He tells Usmangazine.com, "We were in the studio the day after the wedding doing a record for Usher's album.

"(He's) doing great... It's the same as he always is."

But Dupri admits he didn't probe his pal about how married life is treating him: "We don't talk about that kind of stuff. We talk about work."

The couple is reportedly set to take their honeymoon later this year (08) at a luxury $8,000 (GBP4,000)-a-night hotel on the Caribbean island of Anguilla.
