Continuing today's theme of non-news...
He’s not "Chairman of the Board" like that other New York music superstar, but Jay-Z can now call himself "Director of the Arena."
"D-boy who infiltrated all the corporate dudes" added another title to his already impressive resume. He’s listed under his real name of Shawn Carter as a "director" for the Brooklyn Arena LLC, the company that runs Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
The new title emerged in papers filed by arena developer Forest City Ratner Cos. in its bid to secure a liquor license for the future home of the Brooklyn Nets.
As one of seven directors, the rapper and music mogul will attend board meetings and help direct arena senior staff on daily operations, Barclays Center officials confirmed today. ...
Jay-Z in a minority investor in the Brooklyn Nets, the former New Jersey franchise that’s set to play its first games in the 718 this fall.
Arena brass declined to comment on whether he has any interest in the arena.
