Jay Z yesterday in NYC. Due to the expansion of   Jay Z 's Roc Nation sports agency the rap mogul  is set to sell his stake in the Brooklyn's Barclays Center reports Forbes . Jay-Z  has to unload his ownership interests in the Brooklyn Nets and the  Barclays    Center due to his new sports agency,  Roc Nation Sports . The rapper has already begun selling his stake in the NBA team, getting  $500,000  from Nets head coach Jason Kidd for his one-fifteenth of one percent.  Jay-Z owns  slightly less than one-fifth of one percent  of the Barclay Center. New York City recently appraised the Barclays Center–based on its potential income–to be worth  $741 million . That works out to about $1.5 million for Jay-Z’s stake. But he could get even more, given the huge success of the arena.  A t least Hov walks away with a nice parting gift...

Check out Jay Z during  Beyonce 's third and final show at the Barclays Center last night. But before you do let's let Bey shut the arena down while performing her new track  "Bow Down" in an oversized black and gold  jacket bearing "04" on the front and " Carter " on the back. Another new addition to the The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour costumes. Grand opening, grand closing ! Two views: source source "Bad bitch, H-town" Was that enough new choreography for you? That raunchy Beyonce shuck and jive always does something to me...you better move, Bey!! Alright guys, Bey needs a break and that shall be what the Queen gets. But don't fret, Beyonce will hit the stage again for her husband and Budweiser's Made In America  music festival on August 31 and THEN on to the Latin American leg of her tour in September.

While Bey was in Vegas collecting her checks Jay was yet again hosting another concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn this time double-billed with his BFF Chris Martin and Coldplay. Coldplay gave an awesome 15 song set while Jay took over the stage after Chris performed Auld Lang Syne performing 25 songs. Jay's first song of the night was a rendition of his Run This Town , which originally featured Kanye West and Rihanna , along with Chris. Also on stage for the performance were Chris' wife Gwyneth Paltrow and their daughter Apple. Jay's parting words of the evening: "2012 was a major year for me, it was the birth of my beautiful daughter Blue, it was the birth of this building. Tonight I feel like I'm in the right place. I wish you the best 2013 possible. Peace and love." source

Check out some short footage via Jay Z's website Life + Times which he released yesterday on his birthday. The footage shows a behind the scenes look at the construction of the Barclays Center over a year process and rehearsals for Jay's 8 opening concerts. I love how Jay and Beyonce document everything for their fans. This was a great watch and hopefully inspiring to someone.

On the subway! Jay was spotted with a clan of security and police officers at the Canal Street subway on Saturday night headed to his last of eight shows at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn NY. Video via Necole Bitchie

What better way to close out Jay Z's historic eight night concerts at the Barclays Center than to bring out his better half, Beyonce , to put her stamp on the venue. Luckily fans at home were also able to see a live stream of the awesome duo take the stage together at last night's finale where they saw the couple flirt and even an exhausted Jay Z miss his cue for Crazy In Love where it seemed his wife was able and ready to rap his flow. Dressed in all black leather sporting a Brooklyn Nets cap Beyonce performed her songs Diva  as well as Crazy In Love and Forever Young while giving the crowd her signature attitude and flair accompanied by a mic drop. source source Can we expect some shade rumors to surface because Bey openly shouting out her friend Gwyneth Paltrow who's birthday was over a week ago while she's never even acknowledged Kim Kardashian ? Yeah she and Kim aren't BFFs like her and Gwyn but you know how these stories seem to ...

Jay Z ushered in the grand opening of Brooklyn’s first stadium the Barclays Center on Friday night to a sold out crowd of 18,000. The stadium in the heart of Brooklyn is the hometown of Jay and is the new home to the Brooklyn Nets who Jay is part owner of. Friday’s performance is one of eight that Jay is headling through October 6 in his new “house”. Opening show with video footage of Brooklyn greats like Mike Tyson were shown to the tunes of “We Live In Brooklyn Baby” then Jay took the stage performing “Where I’m From” and “Brooklyn Go Hard”.   Jay told the crowd “I’ve performed in a lot places but nothing feels like tonight”. During the show Jay also took the time out to honor his late friend and fellow Brooklyn native Notorious B.I.G while his song "Juicy" played telling the crowd “sing loud so he can hear you in heaven” as well as offering a moment of silence. Then surprisingly Brooklynite rap legend Big Daddy Kane took the stage to perform 3 of his hits with J...
