Photo taken in 1939 is proof that Jay-Z is a time traveller
Then and now ... Jay-Z

JAY-Z may have 99 problems, but apparently travelling through time is not one.

This astonishing picture, found by Buzzfeed, appears to show the rapper chilling out in Harlem nearly 80 YEARS ago in 1939.

Of course, there is still a tiny chance that it might just be someone that looks like him.

The snap was originally unearthed by the The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York public library.
