Jay-Z
threw a star-studded grand opening party of his 40/40 club &
restaurant at the brand new Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Thursday
night, September 27. Looking dapper in a tux and bowtie, the rapper
welcomed his close friends and family to the hot spot.
The likes of Rihanna, J. Cole
and Lyor Cohen were spotted supporting him at the launching party. It
took place one day before the Jiggaman officially christened the
multi-billion dollar complex in an eight-night live concert starting
Friday.
"I walked around here earlier and I just seen everybody busy and at work
trying to finish up and it was a great feeling," he gushed. "A guy
stopped me in the hallway and said, 'Man this is a great thing for New
York City.' And that's what the whole thing was about."
"Yeah I think I'm the American dream," he added. "That whole thing that
you could come here and pull yourself up by the bootstraps, like that
whole thing what America has always put up to the world that we
represent. I feel that. Yes, I've lived that."
The Barclays Center boasts 101 luxury suites, four bars and lounge
destinations, three clubs, and eight retail shops. It will house
concerts by Justin Bieber, Lady GaGa, Rihanna, Green Day and Barbra Streisand, and various sport events like college basketball and boxing events.
