The '99 Problems' star clarifies recent reports that the couple are expecting another baby.

Jay-Z has confirmed that he and wife Beyonce are not expecting their second child, following recent reports that the 'Crazy In Love' singer is pregnant.

The 'Empire State Of Mind' star spoke to E! News on the red carpet for the launch of new video game NBA 2K13, where he clarified the rumours.

Asked if he was planning on extending his family and having another baby, he quipped: "Tonight? No."

After further questioning on whether a baby could be arriving in nine months, he added: "Not in nine months. Absolutely not."

He then stated: "Not in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine months," dispelling any potential future reports.

Online speculation began after the Destiny's Child star was spotted in a tight fitting leopard print dress recently, with some suggestion she was showing signs of a baby bump. 

Her mother Tina Knowles also hit out at the reports to say she wasn't expecting another grandchild anytime soon.

Meanwhile, Jay and Beyonce recently hosted a fundraiser for US President Barack Obama, raising $4 million for his re-election campaign.

The rapper also denied that he was considering a career in politics but praised the American leader.
