Other details: On Sunday night, Jay Z brought his Magna Carta World Tour to his hometown, performing at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. To mark the occasion, Hublot watches hosted a special suite at the arena to celebrate the Shawn Carter for Hublot collection where VIP guests were invited for cocktails ahead of the concert. Dree Hemingway, Chelsea Leyland, Tyson Beckford, and his girlfriend Shanina Shaik all mingled over drinks and observed the exclusive collection before the performance began.
Jay Z performed all the hits including "Dirt Off Your Shoulder," "Big Pimpin," and "Hard Knock Life," pausing in between to chat with the crowd, including some humorous banter with a couple that wouldn't stop making out. He proclaimed that "love is gangsta these days" to huge roars from the audience before proceeding into a rock medley of Coldplay's "Clocks," The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army," Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," and more as he announced the members of the live band including producer Timbaland. Following the performance, Jay Z and Timbaland both partied at the 40/40 Club in the Flatiron District.
