40-year-old rapper Jay Z is the new face of an upcoming Fendi marketing campaign:

According to Dr.Jays, Jay-Z was recently seen with Fendi head Karl Lagerfeld at a New York Fendi photo shoot. But Jay wasn’t there to watch the shoot…he WAS the shoot. Apparently Jay-Z will be actually be a model for Fendi’s upcoming marketing campaign. I bet Beyonce is mad jealous. No word yet when the campaign will launch.

Meanwhile, a U.K. concert promoter says the rapper is not to blame for poor ticket sales at a U.K. music festival. Jay was blamed for low ticket sales for this summer’s (08) Glastonbury festival. But Glastonbury festival organizer Emily Eavis insists tickets are down from last year’s figures because of the bad weather at the festival in recent years.

Yeah, that’s it. A little rain always keeps die hard fans away from a huge concert event. (Source)

Well, if Keith Richards could be the face of Louis
Vuitton…anything goes I guess!

Why would Beyonce be “mad jealous”?

Congrats to Jay. I think he cleans up nice.

I thought he had his own clothing line. He can’t even endorse that.

I think Karl knows what he is doing, because some companies like Cristal would rather state that they don’t want rappers or the sort endorsing their product, but Karl is embracing it. This is going to be ridiculous now everyone is going to be rocking their fake Fendi gear……Swagger Right Check?

Oh well, Fendi was already unappealing to me, so this just seals the deal.

MS PEACHES YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY. THANKS FOR THAT INFO. MUCH RESPECT TO PERCY, I HAD FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT HIM. WELL JAY WILL BECOME A MILLIONAIRE JUST THE SAME. SO IS PERCY STILL A MILLIONAIRE? NOT REALLY UP ON HIM.
ms.peaches

I don’t really know considering all the things he is involved in & his son im sure he is still doing good!! It’s alot of rappers that give him props to this day for being able to invest his money & starting his own label all with the money his grandfather left him!!
