Honestly, who can attend this kind of event beside celebs and billionaires? Jay-Z and wife Beyonce are hosting a fundraising party for Obama at the 40/40 New York Club on September 18, and the price is out of reach for poor mortals like us: it will cost you $40,000 to dine with the president! I mean the info is totally irrelevant for any of us, right? The capacity will be reached at 100 guests, and you can do the math.
Jay-Z’s club is supposed to be a hot thing, combining the ‘lavish warmth of a New York City penthouse with the vivacity and glamour of courtside seats at a championship game’… it has also a super large VIP space, with large-screen HD TVs, custom pool table, and sport memorabilia, called, what else? the Jay-Z Lounge, where the event will be held.
What’s going on with these four (The Obamas, Jay-Z and Beyonce)? Last week, Obama appeared in a video clip, which opened Jay-Z’s Made in America festival in Philadelphia, declaring he is a fan of the rapper’s music, and Beyonce has voiced her support for Michelle Obama in a letter posted on her blog… I still have a hard time to picture Obama singing ‘Niggas in Paris’ during his morning exercise… One thing is sure, this makes the power music couple even closer to royalty level, … but also this will bring more tea-party's scare, more oh-my-God-the-White-House-has-opened-to-rap, and more fear of a black planet!
