You would never have known it was a bad week for Jay-Z. There he was, two days after the election, at P. Diddy's birthday bash (held on Wall Street, of course), styling and profiling in a custom-made pinstripe suit, as if that other expensive suit猙rought against him by R, Kelly—were just a minor annoyance. He and Kelly had planned a fall tour together, but Jay-Z blamed Kelly for showing up late, canceled shows and finally kicked him off the bill. Kelly, in turn, accused the rapper's posse of sabotaging his equipment and dousing him with pepper spray. (See you in court.) Oh, yes, and Kelly wants $75 million for wrongful termination of his contract. Yet Jay-Z, looking even more dapper than his host, grooved and mingled with the likes of Usher, Naomi Campbell, Donna Karan and Bruce Willis like a genial CEO—which is exactly the role he's got his sights on now.
