All We Do Is Ball
Jay Z getting guap and we been knew that, especially after all the moves he been making over the past few years. From the artist he has signed to his re-invented Roc-A-Fella Records now known as Roc Nation, to the business he has purchased and sold such as Rocawear, 40/40 Club, Brooklyn Nets, Sports Management, list goes on. Let’s just say we can all assume Jay is far beyond set for life when it comes to success but behind every successful man is a successful team. From low-level assistants to high end executives he has to have a nice amount due to all the different operations Jay Z is involved with. Lets not forget the recent success of Magna Carta… Holy Grail, that was at the top of the billboard charts for weeks.
Well according to an employee for Jay Z….
“Earlier this year he handed out $50,000 bonuses to everyone in his company, which includes assistants and very low-level people, he even promised another bonus for Christmas.”
“He’s extremely generous – most celebrities are supercheap when it comes to running their businesses,” says the insider. “He knows if his employees are happy, it will benefit him in the long run. His only demand was for everyone to have fun with the money.”
Now If That’s Not Balling You Tell Me What Is……

Jay-Z made more than history with his Samsung Magna Carta Holy Grail app, he inadvertently(or knowingly, however you view it) entered himself into battle between technology and privacy. After complaints about the Magna Carta Holy Grail album spying on users, Samsung fires back by calling the complaints “baseless.”
The U.S. civil liberties group the Electronic Privacy Information Centre pointed out how the Magna Carta Holy Grail app requested ”massive amounts of personal information from users, including location data”. Samsung responded by asserting that the information collected by the app was procedural:
Any information obtained through the application download process was purely for customer verification purposes, app functionality purposes and for marketing communications, but only if the customer requests to receive those marketing communications… Samsung is in no way inappropriately using or selling any information obtained from users through the download process
That was not the only controversy surrounding the app as its promised 12 a.m. release of the album on July 4th was met with technical difficulties that left fans without the album and Jay-Z admittedly disheartened according to the music titan:
On the 24th I downloaded my app, I set it, I watched the clock count down and at 12 ‘clock I couldn’t get it. For me that’s not cool
Jay-Z has yet to comment on the privacy issues surrounding the Magna Carta Holy Grail app.
