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 cliché."

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.
