Barney’s has canceled the big holiday event that Jay Z hoped would cement his brand in the high end retailing world. The 45-year-old rap mogul had hoped to be center stage at the well-heeled Barney’s-sponsored holiday bash to launch his Barney’s Collection on Nov. 20.
But according to WWD.com, Barney’s canceled the holiday party which was to be held at a private, off-site location.
Barney’s NY was forced to scramble their jets to control the damage after the national media caught wind of a racial profiling scandal involving 2 young black consumers who were accused of shoplifting at the New York flagship store.
Maybe Barney’s got cold feet after they did some checking into Jay Z’s crack dealing past? Or maybe Barney’s found out that Jigga’s charity foundation isn’t very charitable?
Then there’s the brewing scandal involving Jay Z’s two mothers who run his charity foundation.
From WWD.com:
The event to kick off “A New York Holiday,” the collaboration between Barneys New York and Shawn “Jay Z” Carter, has been canceled. The party, which Barneys was sponsoring at an off-site location Wednesday night, was expected to be a fund-raiser for the Shawn Carter Foundation.
The cancelation comes amid controversy over Jay Z’s collaboration with Barneys and alleged allegations of racial profiling against the retailer, as well as against Macy’s Inc.
On Friday, both Barneys and Jay Z stressed their commitment to BNY SCC Gallery and Collection, which launches Wednesday, and they plan to donate 100 percent of all sales from the BNY SCC Collection to the Shawn Carter Foundation, which provides educational opportunities to young people facing socioeconomic hardship. Among the participating labels are Lanvin, Balenciaga, Balmain, Proenza Schouler, Rick Owens and Moncler, which all worked with Jay Z on custom creations. Barneys also plans to donate 10 percent of all of Wednesday’s retail sales at its flagships in New York, Beverly Hills, San Francisco, Boston and Chicago, as well as on barneys.com, to the foundation, with a guarantee of raising at least $1 million for the foundation.

Man that is so generous of the school to do…if you don’t want the turkey find another family who could use one….
Must be me.
I don’t think I care. I won’t be supporting Jay Z with any of my money, nor Barney’s stores.
Barney and JayZ think this matter will roll over and people will forget about it! WRONG! JayZ’s reputation is forever tarnished as he will be forever known as the person who doesn’t stand for anything but money.
He can take his tax shelter, err his foundation, and go kick rocks bc we all know he doesn’t have a history of giving back. Past performance is a great indictor of future performance.
I want a free turkey.
Are you comfortable putting it in a bag?? Or regift just it. 
Matchsticks says:
@Caramel how are you today hon?
I giggle every time I see that panda in distress 
***************
I’m good. Its so cold I had to drag myself to the gym this AM.
How about you hunny bunny?
Orange Blossom.. are you in the same city as Rich dollaz??
How does this reflect negatively on Jay if BNY only cancelled the party – not the guaranteed $1M donation? BNY is in damage control mode. Jay can only be held accountable for what he does with that donation once it’s given to his foundation. The people will be watching – trust.

I feel your pain. I can’t stand the smell of raw poultry and I don’t do bags. Years ago I thought I could avoid the “bag” situation by substituting cornish hens for that huge turkey the two of us would never finish anyway. I’m at the sink humming and rinsing and low and behold – they all got bags!
Frantically phones my Mama:

Ma I got all these hens and they all got them bags!
nah girl im tangy like salt and vinegar potato chips.
is this part of my welcome packet?

@Caramel
Oh I’m doing very well…I hit the gym pretty hard last night myself
Or maybe that is their way of saying they are don’t want to help out the same low income youth that they profile…just my opinion
