Jay Z To Continue BarneysCollaboration With A Bonus To HisCharity

Taking the time to look into the allegations
himself, Jay Z decided to go forward with his
collaboration with Barneys New York after claims
of racial profiling.


In a statement, the "Holy Grail" rapper reveals,
"My team has been privy to the status of the
Barneys third party consultant investigation. In
continuing our research, we also contacted the
New York State Attorney General’s office for the
status of their investigation into both Barneys
and Macy’s. Those findings are not yet
available."
Taking the matter seriously, he continues, "While
I await the findings of the Attorney General’s
Office, I have agreed to move forward with the
launch of BNY SCC collection under the
condition that I have a leadership role and seat
on a council specifically convened to deal with
the issue of racial profiling. I am in a unique
position to use my voice to affect change to this
disturbing issue."
Focusing on the goal of the project, the proud
papa of Blue Ivy concludes, "As I previously
stated, the collaboration with Barneys has
always been about giving and The Shawn Carter
Foundation. From this collection, the Foundation
will receive not only 25% of sales, it will now
receive the additional 75% of Barneys’ sales,
totaling 100% of all sales from BNY SCC. Along
with 100% of sales from the collaboration, the
Foundation will receive an additional 10% of all
retail sales from Barneys New York stores
nationwide and Barneys.com on November
20th."
