Jay-Z gets the money and the girl

Earlier this week, there was a story that Jay-Z was in the middle of negotiating a $150 million deal with Live Nation for tour performances over the next 10 years to promote 3 future albums. 

Well, apparently on Friday Jay-Z, 38, and Beyonce, 26, were married on Friday putting to an end a 6-year courtship.  They reportedly tied the knot in a small ceremony in Jay-Z's apartment. Gwyneth Paltrow and other celebrities were spotted by paparazzi as they arrived at Jay-Z's place on Friday and friends of the couple leaked the good news.  No official word from their publicists as of yet.

Well, if it's true, this guy is big pimpin' for'real!  All he needs to do is finalize the New Jersey Nets' relocation to Brooklyn, New York and his plans for world domination will be nearly complete.

Rapper Jay-Z announced that he will be ending his retirement from recording and releasing a new album titled Kingdom Come later this year. Jay-Z is now the President & CEO of Def Jam records and doesn't really need to record anything with a net worth estimated at $320MM. He guest starred in several rap songs during his "retirement," fueling speculation that another album would someday drop. According to Star Magazine, Beyonce is pissed that Jay-Z is recording again and feels that he should be paying more attention to his personal life, especially with their upcoming wedding slated for this November in the Caribbean.

According to AllHipHop.com, Louis Roederer has issued the following statement:

"A house like Louis Roederer would not have existed since 1776 without being totally open and tolerant to all forms of culture and art, including the most recent musical and fashion styles which — like Hip-Hop — keep us in touch with modernity."

Sounds like Louis Roederer is afraid that it has bit the hand that feeds them. There's rumors abound that Frederic Rouzaud was misquoted in the article, but I don't think that's the case. I think they are worried about the possibility of shrinking sales due to this little fiasco.

Jay-Z, prolific rapper and President and CEO of Def Jam Records, has decided to boycott Cristal champagne over comments by Frederic Rouzaud, managing director of Louis Roederer, the company that produces Cristal. Rouzaud said the company viewed the hip-hop love affair with Cristal as "unwelcome attention." Also he added, "What can we do? We can't forbid people from buying it. I'm sure Dom Perignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business."

The backlash was swift and furious. Jay-Z issued a statement saying, "It has come to my attention that the managing director of Cristal, Frederic Rouzaud views the 'hip-hop' culture as 'unwelcome attention.' I view his comments as racist and will no longer support any of his products through any of my various brands including The 40/40 Club nor in my personal life."

Join the boycott and together we'll get this guy fired for his ignorance and stupidity. I for one will be pouring out the two bottles that I always keep on hand down the drain immediately. What the hell, I got them on sale for $200 per bottle at Costco so it's all good. Besides, I'd do anyting for my boy Jay. From now on it's only Dom Perignon and Veuve Clicquot when I am big pimpin' at home. Hey yo Jay, I'm off the Crissy fo' cheezy, belee dat!
