A British News Paper recently reported that no white people were allowed to enter Jay-Z's after party after the Brit Awards held recently. See story below:
Rapper Jay-Z has become embroiled in a nasty dispute in Great Britain involving allegations that security guards were selectively excluding people at his Brit Awards after-party based on their race.
The guards allegedly refused to admit white party-goers into the VIP area, while black attendees were admitted immediately without standing in line.
The party was chaotic as people tried to get inside the club and fights broke out. The scene got even uglier, when security guards at the doors to the VIP room allegedly refused to allow white people into the area, while letting black party-goers straight through, according to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper.
“I’ve been to countless showbiz bashes but never have I met meatheads like those at the Jay- Z [party],” wrote the Star’s music reporter Kim Dawson. “Jay-Z is a mega-star and yet it was clear white people were not welcome in his VIP area. While the red rope was lifted for black guests to breeze through, let’s just say it stayed down if your face didn’t fit,” she added. “I have never felt so intimidated. It left me feeling like a mauled dog.”
Black pop star Alesha Dixon, who attended the party, also expressed disgust at the chaotic scene. “My friends have been getting knocked about and no one seems to care. I need to get out of here,” she told the paper. “What a horrible end to the night. I was having a blast at my record label party and now the mood is soured. I wish I’d never come,” she said.
A rep for the rapper said the club handled the security, not the mega-star, while the club’s manager said management was unaware of any problems.

It appears someone is messing around Jigga and his wifey, GSB caught wind of this report and according to a certain website the man isn't scared of anyonebe. Peep the full story below.

As if the Brooklyn rapper didn't have enough on his hands with The Game and the rising D.O.H. (Death of Hova) campaign. He, along with his wife Beyonce have been the recipients of letters with death threats as the topic.
Leon Desmond Barrett, a native of Detroit, was charged for allegedly sending letters to celebrities such as the rapper and former NFL star Jerome Bettis threatening to kill them. In regards to the NFL, Barrett must have his gripes with them in particular as prosecutors have stated that he has sent over 14 letters to the Hall of Fame and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell from 2006 to now.
A complaint was filed Wednesday in regards to Barrett's alleged misdoings which fueled the investigation.
One letter made reference to the killings that happened at Virginia Tech saying that it will be another massacre similar to the school in Virginia happening in Detroit. Barrett must be a bold individual as it was reported that he penned his signature on the majority of the letters along with his home address. Guess that must mean that he wanted any problems to be brought to his front door step as Local 4 news went to his home to question his letters. A simple reply of “No” was given by Barrett when questioned of having anything to say about the allegations and if he had indeed sent the letters.
The tragedy of 9/11has sent a wave of suspicion throughout the United States government to the degree where mail is heavily investigated. This also stemmed from the letters that were mailed with Anthrax back around 2001. In August 2008, the US Department of Justice made the announcement that they believed Dr. Bruce Ivins was responsible for the attacks.
The Detroit news was able to reveal the message that referenced the celebrities mentioned:
A letter dated Aug. 18, 2007, said: "I'm getting ready to start killing some more people. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Jerome Bettis and Tune-up Man are the first 4 people I'm getting ready to kill."
Although all of the celebrities have been contacted about the letter, there has yet to be a response from any. Barrett has not appeared in U.S. District Court in Detroit yet.
Say word....yes you read that correct our girl Bey and hobby Jay-Z came in at number two on the Zimbio 100 Hottest Celebrities Couples in Hollywood.The spot places them in between Angelina and Brad #1 with Victoria and David Beckham #3. Read all about it when you Success.
Parade magazine recently reported that Beyonce earned $80 million this year, while Jay-Z earned $82 million — a total of $162 million between them. Beyonce’s also been nominated for two Golden Globes and between the two of them, they have enough Grammys to fill a Maybach. Whether you’re looking at money, fame or honors, it doesn’t get much more successful than this couple.
Attractiveness.
Beyonce’s curves are bootylicious, and her face is so gorgeous that she’s been offered plenty of product endorsements, make-up giant L’Oreal among them. As for Jay-Z, his looks are nothing to write home about, but he’s got the golden voice and is stylish, having founded his own clothing brand, Rocawear.
Popularity.
Beyonce blows out the competition in this category. In April, about 20 million people Googled her, making her one of the most popular celebs on our list. People are slightly less interested in Jay-Z, who scored 5 million searches. With those numbers, these two are hard to beat.
Staying Power.
These two have been together for seven years, and they married in 2008. They never talk publicly about their relationship (excepting Beyonce’s brief spiel to Ellen DeGeneres below), prefering to keep it just between them, and neither of them has had any other high-profile romances. Basically, we’re just counting down to babies and happily ever after.
Compatibility.
Since Beyonce’s a Virgo, and Jay-Z is a Sagittarius, these two have very different approaches to life. He’s adventurous; she craves security. Eventually, he’s bound to get tired of the predictability. And chances are, everyone who just read this is cursing the invention of astrology.
Well we didn't get hands on the full list but here's a briefing:
Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith - 6th.
ice-T and Coco – 75th.
Mariah and Nick – 54th
Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri – 44th
Kanye and Amber - 37th??? (Guess they didn’t get the memo)
Nicole Scherzinger & Lewis Hamilton – 30th
Halle Berry & clear fellow – 14th
Heidi Klum and her Seal – 10th
Too bad Rihanna and Chris Brown didn't make.....well they did try !!!SMH
We reported earlier that Jay-Z was "95%" done with a deal to distribute his Roc Nation label through Sony, as Billboard reported, but now the New York Times is reporting Jigga might be striking a deal with Warner Music Group. A "well-placed industry source" told the paper that Jay-Z has been meeting with Lyor Cohen and Kevin Lies about the possibility of creating his own label, tentatively called Carter Music Group, through Warner. "Jay knows Lyor and Kevin from back when they all worked together at Def Jam, and he obviously wants to work something out with his friends," the insider said. "He wants to get the dream team back together. There have been a few whiffs of a reunion in the past, but only now - and very privately - is something finally starting to happen." The source made sure to add "This is big in hip hop. These are three of the most powerful men in music, who might be working together, and there’s no question the success they’ll have as a team will be huge."

Remember we told ya'll last week that Jay-z bought his way out of his contract at Def Jam and he's ready to move on. Well we've now got word that the rap mogul is presently in talks with Warner Music Group.The rumored deal between Jay-Z and Sony is reportedly almost done. The new partnership will bring Jigga's new Roc Nation label to the home of his wife, Beyonce. Inside sources say the deal "is 95% complete" and the formal announcement is expected to come within a few weeks.
One thing that is known for sure is that Jay-Z did not want to release his upcoming "Blueprint 3" album through Def Jam. "He definitely didn't want to release his album via Def Jam," said a Universal Music source. "And given his close relationship with (Sony executive and producer) Rick Rubin, it comes as no surprise that he'd make the switch."
Kanye West recently talked about the upcoming album in an interview with MTV. "He’s just been working on it, and it’s gonna be amazing when he drops it. I think it’s good he’s taking his time to give people the best product possible and not being rushed by this fast-food, media-outlet, Internet, everything-is-getting-leaked, people-stealing your songs before you can mix them and put them online world we’re living in right now."
Maybe we can now get that Blueprint 3 album we've been waiting so long for. Jay-Z has officially parted ways with his home for more than a decade, Def Jam. On Thursday morning (May 21), Hits Daily Double reported in its Rumor Mill section that Hov — who owed Def Jam one last album — bought himself out of his contract for $5 million. Get the full scoop when you flip it.On Thursday afternoon, Jay contacted RapRadar.com and confirmed his departure.
"I can honestly say, working with Doug Morris and L.A. Reid has been a unique and fulfilling experience, and I respect them immensely," Hov told the Web site. "I've been in the family for almost my entire career. Doug and I spoke directly and had one of the most unique 'negotiations' ever."
Jay said that negotiation included a coin toss. "Doug won the toss, but we both won in the end," Jay said. "I thank him for allowing me to be a completely independent artist. Not every artist can say they own or are given the opportunity to own all of their music."
Jay started his own record company, Roc Nation, and has been working on the Blueprint 3 with Kanye West since 2008.
In February, Jay joked that he was too free in making his latest opus.
"If I don't have any time constraints, I'll mess around, I'll never get it done," he said. "I'll be Axl Rose out here! It'll be 12 years later, and we'll be talking about Chinese Democracy. I really like the [time constraints]. But whatever happens, [the album] may turn out better, 'cause it'll be done when it's right."
