Jay Z is an incredibly busy human being for someone who has retired a million times already. Since he decided to lead a quiet life, he’s married the most famous woman on the planet, released records, headlined Glastonbury, headed up a massive record label and recently, played the first ever show at the brand new Yankee Stadium in New York with Eminem and Kanye West.
So, that’ll be that then won’t it? He’ll know glide slowly into a life of Horlicks (with Kristal in it) and (diamond encrusted) slippers and (weed) pipe. Right?
Wrong. See, J-Hova has got more plans which include buying Arsenal Football Club (that’s a ‘soccer’ team to any American readers) and owning the soul of Will Smith’s daughter.
That’s right. After hearing the voice of Willow Smith (presumably in the eerily sexual ‘Whip My Hair’, which you can hear here), Jiggaman signed the nine-year-old daughter of Will Smith to his label.
He’s probably thinking he’s got another Justin Bieber on his hands. Sadly, tween boys aren’t as screamingly obsessive as their female counterparts.
After hearing her track, Jay-Z gunned straight after Willow without even knowing that Willow is only nine. Yes. Nine years old. You were probably harbouring a wall full of bogeys down the side of your bed at that age, or maybe, you were still a blithering idiot who couldn’t work out how to use an adult toilet properly.
Jay-Z recently told Ryan Seacrest that the Willow song hooked him from the start and was surprised.
?I heard the record first before I knew that it was recorded by a 9-year-old and I was like, ?man that record?s a smash?”
But is she too young?
?When you have that sort of talent, there is no such thing as too young.?
It doesn’t stop there though, as Jay Z may well be moving to wheezing piss-stink metropolis, London, with Beyonce in tow. All because he wants to buy shares in Arsenal football club.
Jay Z, who also owns shares in the NBA side New Jersey Nets, is considering moving to London so he can be ?involved in the decision-making” alongside current chairman Peter Hill-Wood.
He added:
?I would never want to be a back-seat investor and would like to oversee all decision-making. I’m ready for another investment like this.?
Jay is dangling a carrot to the clearly greedy-eyed Gunners players by stating that they are all welcome to whatever they like from his Roc-A-Wear clothing range and that:
?They would be more than welcome to come to my next concert when I am over in London. They can come and see me do my work, and then I will come and see them do their work.?
