Looking toward a world where the only Delta in news headlines is the airline, JAY-Z is plotting the reopening of his rapper-pioneering 40/40 Club (sorry, Soulja Boy).
The New York City hotspot originally opened in 2003 with countless rap celebrities entering its doors such as Meek Mill, Jeezy and Fabolous — and that was just a random Airbnb party in 2014. The past two decades also saw the launch of 40/40 iterations in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Brooklyn and Atlanta.
According to Page Six, JAY-Z is planning to hire 100 staffers, cutting into the national worker shortage while ensuring they make above minimum wage.
Over the weekend, the 40/40 Club is said to be hosting an afternoon open call for bartenders and servers, the latter earning up to $20 per hour, besting New York’s minimum wage in the job market by a good $5.
As of press time, the venue has a planned reinstatement of August 4.

The 40/40 Club reopening isn’t JAY-Z’s only ongoing initiative to uplift the working class. His Roc Nation imprint recently joined a line of investors — including Will Smith’s company Dreamers VC — to help fund Landis Technologies, a startup focused on morphing low-income renters into homeowners through an educational process.
Wow so still right at poverty when you look at the inflation rate. Great job, Jay and partners. I hope no one applies so this crummy business fails. Pay more than the poverty level! $30 hr should do it in those urban/metropolitan areas.
Haterade. You think they don’t get tips serving and bartending . Thirsty to say something as always dame .
only a 100. fam do 1,000 stop trying to be stingy with that money help out the community
Do realize how many people it takes to run an establishment like that? Not 1000. He’s not opening them all up at once, he’s STARTING to reopen. What does that have to do with stingy. Would you hire 10 times more people than you needed to do a job? Think before you speak, from now on please. I know what your getting at but come on man. Intelligence and sense are key. Not just having something to say.
Huh? His club has 100 job VACANCIES, not job applications – who wrote this? Did they graduate high school?
20 in the rest of country would be above minimum wage in ny thats like 5 bucks n hour due to cost of living lol plus tip though right right right cool story lets risk covid and death so we can sell overpriced poison to people for a chance at a big tip
Stop trying to act scared of that bullshit virus already
And so, what you doin to raise up the downtrodden? Or what contribution are you embarking upon to make the world a better place? What IMPACT, have you made that has changed the direction,(for the betterment), for your fellowman? If God be for us, who can be against us? Us?????????
Jeez that headline hurts my brain…. He has 100 job “applications”? You mean openings, dumbass?
LMAO they changed it bro ….. But they didn’t credit you! LMAO fuckboys
Brooklyn always produces the best Rapper Businessman Philanthropists. First King Tekashi cut into the national donation shortage by making it rain with $100 bills to more than 100 struggling, jobless and homeless people in Chicago, LA and New York. Now Jay-Z doing it with 40/40! With so much in common, I can’t imagine what they could do if these 2 Kings of NY teamed up!
