Jay-Z Opens Barclays 40/40 Club with His Industry Friends

Sway gave you a first look at the Brooklyn Barclay center on Wednesday, but last night Jay-Z officially opened his new 40/40 Club inside the arena. He had help from his artist friends, basketball players and industry execs. When MTV caught up with him on the red carpet, he proudly spoke on his huge project.

“I walked around here earlier and I just seen everybody busy and at work trying to finish up and it was a great feeling. A guy stopped me in the hallway and said, ‘Man this is a great thing for New York City.’ And that’s what the whole thing was about.”
