So after putting roughly $150,000 of damage into a $373,000 car for music video, Shawn proceeded to drop an additional $250,000 into top-shelf bum wines during his Watch The Throne release party in Miami’s LIV last night. I’m sure the groupies (both male and female) were out in full force for a taste. Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter: making some feel poorer, as well as motivating others to be richer, one wasted dollar at a time.

Kanye couldn’t chip in?
thats cool in all…but considering the circumstances in africa…this $hit is not being used wisely!
welcome to america 2011. fucking disgraceful, if you ask me. bravo, mr. carter.
Damn people getting mad at how men spend their money now????
“like that nigga said in dead presidents, money to burn” (c) N. Jones
yeah its not cool to pocket watch. But just a question why do niggas celebrate buying bottles like the white people people i knw dont really care bout that shit they want whateva gon fuck them up. Can someone enlighten me? or maybe its just our thing
Meka: You and the way you word shit is the leading cause of racism still being here in 2011. Get off what color the person is. Just report on what they are doing, not their race. Stupid fuck. You always pulling some race cards but always have to point out if someone is black or not. You think we dont know Jay is black? I mean really? So fucking annoying.
Jay-Z: One Smart Rich PERSON would have been suffice. Unless racism is what you are pointing out here.
@SMH its a quote from the jay-z “u dont know” lmao relax kid
@Ayyoo: Kanye was in Finland rockin the stage last night and made, from what I heard, 250k dollars, so basically Kanye paid those WTT top-shelf bum wines lol.
The title for this post is STUPID. Meka WTF dude… Change dat shit…
he made the money so he should spend (or waste) it like he wants
Meka, I’m not sure why you’re mad at a person livin de life. You would probably shake your head at a rapper who would rap about de life and doesn’t live it so why get upset when a rapper actually does live it? Jay has done plenty of charity for his community and the world. As my friend Michelle (a French fight promoter) would say he is he is livin de life.
I don’t see why people are mad at him, he is also auctioning a 300k maybach and giving the money to africa so he is pretty good in my book. He has money so he can do whatever he wants with it.
Now when Ross or Birdman do stupid shit like that I see all these negative stereotypical comments from everyone..Jay or Kayne shouldnt be excused for this either! Jus shows the bias we have toward certain regions (that goes for EVERYBODY) #stupidisstupid
J.O. is right if it was Gucci the c section would have lynched him. ignorance is ignorance. I wonder how many bottles Oprah pops, lol bill gates, shit even Master P.
no wonder jay-z and obama are good friends. they both are reckless spenders. the only difference is jay earned his
SMH Meka, you could at least mention that he is auctioning the maybach and giving the money to africa, anyway that’s his money so he can do whatever he wants with it it doesn’t take away from the fact that he has a charity giving scholarship every year and still pays the water supply of angola.
First off Meka was quoting a Jayz line with the title “one smart black boy” he just said rich instead of smart. 2nd how is spending x amount on bottles at the club ignorant? 250K to jayz is like $12 bucks to us so its really no big deal. I still cant believe why people havent figured out why entertainers pull these kind of stunts from time to time but everything is done for a reason. The people in that club that night will become lifetime fans because of the stunt.
Pardon me , he just add the word rich. Calm down
LMBAO @ ALL THE PEOPLE NOT CATCHIN’ THE JAY QOUTE..I BET THEY WHITE FOLK TOO!
#IMWHITEFOLKINTOLERANT…(C)AFFIONCROCKETT
SMH at people falling for the stunt jay owes a part of ace of spades and makes between 4 and 5 millions of it every year and don’t even has to declare it. I don’t even think he really paid for the bottles he is just doing advertisement.
Here is the story
http://www.complex.com/music/2011/03/jay-z-ace-of-spades
What do people want him to do? Donate everything he has? He has no obligation to do that.. and besides, not like he hasn’t helped anywhere. Anyway, he has it, what does it matter what he does with it?
I agree with J.O.
If Wayne or Gucci Mane did thism, y’all would be like, “These niggas are a disgrace. Why don’t you give to the damn community?!”
But when Jay-Z does it, “Ayyy, Jay’s livin’ it big! Get yo money, man! Rocafella 4 life <3"
Get the fuck out.
anyone know where i can find styles p blow my mind remix w/ the lox?
A) Obviously those who disagree with how he’s spending his money must think he’s not going to make that money back. And I’m sure he’s going to make that money back QUICK.
B) I’m sure this isn’t the 1st time he’s done it or anyone else for that matter.
C) Aren’t they auctioning of the car and donate the money from that? And knowing you cry babies ass homos, you’d probably have a problem with who they are donating the money to, you pocket watching asses…
D) If you’re going to get on Jay-Z for doing this, you better make sure you post every other person who does this before you end up looking like a hater (as much as i hate that word)…
@ holla , You are right, alot of people are fooled . I wasn’t even about to comment on this the first time I seen this post. Jay Z get millions of dollars per year for his association with Armand de Brignac. Jay z not even spending no money that everybody think he spending on these Champagne bottles and everybody felled for it smh lol. I read a about his investments a few months back about aces of spades.
What’s happening in Budapest?! Good Charlotte knows what’s up! http://t.co/p63h6qM
Difference between Jay-Z & ppl like Gucci Mane is that Jay-Z actually not puttin on a show. He can actually afford to do shit like that. That man had money out the ass. And Rick Ross has a lot of videos like this posted on 2dopeboyz and he gets a good amount of likes

if i was well off & earned all that dough i wouldnt give a fuck how i spent it, u cant take it with u when u die so fuck it let me chop up a 300thou car & whateva else i can think of that makes my dick hard haha, only broke unhappy people bitch about what rich people do with their money!!! im check to check but i dont care how Jay spends his $, its his!!!
dumb fucks…if the nigga contributing to charity he’s seeing them dollars again through tax money especially if the shit is for a charity that 1) he started/owns, 2) if the charity is for overseas or 3) all of the above. if the nigga is splurging them dollars at a party, that shit is a company expense. no matter how you slice it, the nigga is gonna make dough by spending dough. Enuff said.
lol this bitch mad cus jay droppin 250k on wine is like him droppin $60 on the new cod. cmon son, be a man u actin like a bitch
Jay trying to say he cares about Africa but
Then he goes spending more money on a couple of bottles
Than he did for thousands of people in Africa
why are u guys on his dick who cares what he buys its his money .. and what does africa have 2 do with this ?
the point isn’t that he’s spending, it’s that it’s that much for something like alcohol. i don’t care if he’s a billionaire, that kind of money being spent on something as worthless as a bottle of alcohol is careless. people are jobless with mouths to feed, and this dude is out spending 250K on booze. sure, he’s rich and has earned his wealth – doesn’t mean that it’s right. humanity is so fucked up. you people thinking that this is justifiable is evidence of it. go on though, keep chasing the dream while humanity progressively keeps on becoming uglier, greedier and more vulnerable to its weaknesses than ever before. kudos.
^I mean, the dude is a musician, which in itself is technically a non-essential service. Jay Z made his entire fortune off of the superfluous nature of people; he’s not Gandhi, and u really can’t expect him to be.
The dude is auctioning a car to help africa. he did the mtv joint to provide water. What more yall want from this dude? Cuz he’s rich and wprked his ass of he supposed to spend it all helping everyone on earth? Funny thing is if we gave 20 million to every one in the c-section, how many mofos would give they money to the unfortunate…….
check my beats, similar to 9th wonder’s style…www.soundcloud.com/clarkkentthesp and follow me on twitter @OGkae
why wouldnt they just auction the car off after the video for probably more money than its worth…than completely destroying it and getting less?
Damn… alotta BROKE muthafuckas on here, huh? LOL
u guys need to go an find somethin else to argue about…an 2dopeboyz needs to stop hating on people…
“Just a fuckin’ waste of time, a complete waste of bottles” AHAH
This right here is dumb as fuck, some may call it balling but it’s stupidity to me. Jay is in his 40s spending money like it’s out of style and if his albums sales are not up to par everyone starts bitching. Shit is ridiculous
haha thats some rich man shit .. and some bitter ass haters… it doesnt bother me , he worked his ass for it.
this dude was on forbes list … all that money really doesnt affect him. yalls fucking ignorance is ridiculous
Saying Jay wasted money on a prop for a video is dumb! The majority of the video’s budget was spent on the whip…what’s the problem?? As far as the LIV thing.. Do you not think he was paid for the appearance? What if he said, “Take dat 75,000 and put it towards Ace of Spades!”?? Isn’t all advertisement? You gotta spend a lil’ to make alot! Peace
whats wrong with him poppin’ bottles ? how is that ignorant ?
