Rap mogul Jay-Z reunited with comedian Kevin Hart for a meeting at his Roc Nation headquarters in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon.
The 52-year-old Brooklyn billionaire clutched a green shoebox while sporting a brand new pair of white Puma sneakers.
Jay-Z (born Shawn Carter) wore Army-green cargo pants and a white T-shirt emblazoned with whom appeared to be Brooklyn Dodgers second baseman Jackie Robinson.
The 24-time Grammy winner finished off his streetwear attire with a neon-green tie-dye bucket hat, black sunglasses, and an expensive-looking gold watch.
Meanwhile, the 43-year-old Philly-born funnyman – who relies on stylist Ashley North – wore a long-sleeved white Gallery Dept. shirt with black slacks and Christmas-colored Nike high-tops.
Jay-Z attended Kevin and Chris Rock’s show at Madison Square Garden on Saturday where transphobic comic Dave Chappelle was the surprise opening act.
‘[It] was by far the best moment of my career,’ Hart gushed to his 150M Instagram followers on Sunday.
‘I can’t even explain it. I can’t find the words. Just know that last night was the true definition of [an] “epic night.” I love my brothers more than words can explain. What we did to the Garden will never be done again. We made history last night!’
The Neck & Wrist rapper also confirmed that he’s nowhere near retired from music on the two-time Emmy/Grammy nominee’s Peacock talk show Hart to Heart, which started streaming July 14.
‘Nah, I tried [retirement in 2003]. I’m terrible at that,’ Jay-Z admitted.
‘I’m not actively making music or making an album or have plans to make an album, but I never want to say that I’m retired. It’s a gift, and who am I to shut it off? It’s open to whatever. And it may have a different form or interpretation. Maybe it’s not an album, maybe it is. I have no idea, but I’m just going to leave it open.’
The high-rolling hip-hop star served as one of the eight credited songwriters on Break My Soul, the first single off his wife Beyoncé Knowles’ seventh studio album Renaissance, which drops this Friday.
Also spotted visiting the Roc Nation office on Tuesday was four-time Grammy nominee J. Balvin – who rocked blue hair and a black Prada shirt with matching cargo pants and boots.
‘I grew up with Jay-Z. I think he’s the most powerful artist that has touched different aspects of business and culture in the world,’ the Colombian 37-year-old told Rolling Stone on Tuesday.
‘He has made what I want to make. I want to create businesses that can elevate our culture, based on Latinos and immigrants. Today, I can be part of any room, and be proud of who I am and what I have done, and have these conversations with Jay-Z. He had to get to that too. Right?
