That's $1 million going to Jay's foundation to send unprivileged kids' to college. People wanted him to back out of the Barneys deal because of the racial profiling that happened in the store, but he used that situation as leverage to make Barney's pay more to the charity. Before, only 25% of the collection's profits were going to Jay's foundation. But after the profiling, 100% went to the foundation.

You're my guy, but I don't even understand what you and the rest of these Jay-Z hating, Nas-stan, quick to call a black man a c00n just because he happens to operate in corporate America and isn't a militant, consistently irrational, single-minded dudes are mad about. Tom Ford knows Jay-Z personally and has for years. He said he likes what the song stands for "which is getting his high from wearing Tom Ford (i.e. getting shyt done) and not Molly" and somehow Jay's a c00n and Tom Ford is disrespecting hip hop :wtf:. Do we really go through everything a rapper has shouted out and not gotten paid for and call that a loss....

This is Jay, if he got paid for every line then people on here would be calling him a sell out even more. This just seems like a pitiful attempt at people trying to say "see those white people don't even like or respect you Jay" while Tom Ford was anything but that. It's almost more pitiful than Harry B's caping in here. You guys sound like the type of dudes that would be mad at me and MustaSTL because we're lack and we get along with our coworkers at big firms who are mostly white. This is all backwards.

Jay will never fukking learn. NEVER.

It's embarassing to watch, that nikka has the lowest self-esteem. Still, Tom Ford ain't shyt for doing that to Jay.... but look at where Ford's bread is buttered.

Two demons. Jay (like Puff and Kanye) needs to learn no matter how good of a businessman he is, he'll forever be a pet monkey to these demons.

Kimmel then proceeded to show Ford a photo of Jay Z on tour wearing a black T-shirt with "Tom Ford" and number 61 on the back. When asked what he thought, Ford said "this is a counterfeit Tom Ford design." But instead of filing a lawsuit or being bothered by it, Ford knocked off the knockoff because "C'mon, Jay Z's wearing it," as he said.

There's so much wrong with this statement. This is more offensive than the 'rap translator' comment. The rap translator comment can be waved off as a generational thing. This, though -- the man has given you free advertising for god know's how long into the future, and you can't be bothered to send him some free swag in return? By saying the clothing is counterfeit, he's saying Jay is counterfeit, a fake, and ultimately irrelevant. He won't even be bothered to correct the situation by dressing Jay. Jay is a fake and a fraud to him, but any publicity is good publicity because as long as 'those people' aren't really wearing his brands, then his brand won't get Ciroq'd/Cristal'd?

He fools no one. Except maybe Jay and Dereon wearing hood rats.
