EVENT/VIDEO: CELEBS ATTEND THE GRAND RE-OPENING OF 40/40 CLUB

January 19th, 2012

Jay-Z hosted the grand re-opening of his newly renovated nightclub, The 40/40 on Wednesday night (January 18) with a slew of celebrities like Spike Lee, Wale, Ashanti, Warren Buffett and Angie Martinez. Rumors circulated about Beyonce possibly making her first post-baby birth appearance, but of course she stayed at home with baby Blue.

Speaking of Blue Ivy, the stories of Jay-Z announcing that he’ll no longer use the word “b*tch” in his songs were reportedly fake (READ MORE). The same goes for Beyonce‘s supposedly first interview since having her child. Her mother, Tina Knowles confirmed that it never happened. However, the UK Star Magazine is saying they have proof (READ MORE).

Check out the clip & video below from the 40/40 event down below.

    Ashanti and her mom are clearly over-dressed. Where did they think they were going? Glad Bey decided to stay home

      Thank God he had a daughter to realize he needed to stop calling women bitches in his songs. The birth of a child is such a beautiful thing and it makes you wake up and smell the coffee!! I’m sure he would never want anyone to call his baby girl that!! He will make a huge difference if this is true. Praise God!!!

      So you mean to tell me that he shouldn’t make a living?? Do you know how stupid you sound? LOL!!! He still has bills to pay the same way that everybody does, just because he’s rich. Sounds like to me your really bitter about your life, SMH!!! Tia from The Game just had a baby not too long ago, she’s working right, her husband too right?? You need to relax yourself and go and read a book to occupy your time instead of worrying about Jay-Z life, he’s not paying your shit. SMH!!!

      Why are you mad that her mom is with her?? Is it because they have a close bond and you don’t have it with your mother?? SMH!!! This is why the younger generation is so damn messed up in the head, no respect to there parents. SMH!!!

      Anyways, everyone looked good.

    Why don’t you guys do some research on Warren Buffet.? He is one of the billionaire elitist who creates crimes all over the world. He is throwing up the illuminate pyramid. For Warren to be at this event that should tell you guys what Jay-Z is about. Everything is hidden in plain sight…including their hand signals.

      @ YES…I see you’re defending these people like you’re on their pay roll.LOL. They could care less about you. To them you are a parasite and scum of the earth. They would walk right on top of you if you were dying in the street.LOL.

    Everyone knows that Beyonce is not going to make a casual appearance after “having” her baby. She’s either going to come out on stage or in a big interview– whichever will garner the most press.

    I love Ashanti dearly but CLEARLY her dresser forgot to iron her train. It looks like her mom may have stepped all over it!
