Jay-Z Set To Host $800,000 Awards After-Party In London

Jay-Z is set to host an after-party of the BRIT Awards on Wednesday evening that will cost close to $1million.

The Sun is reporting that the hip-hop global superstar is splashing out this huge sum of money for his Roc Nation employees. It is also thought that Rita Ora, Kylie Minogue, and Justin Timberlake will attend the bash, which is being held at London’s Hakkasan restaurant.

Jay-Z’s wife, Beyonce Knowles, is also reportedly planning on flying over to the United Kingdom for the soiree, with rumors also circulating that she will perform at the show too.

Jay-Z is importing thousands of pounds worth of seafood and Ace of Spades champagne for the event, whilst English musician, Calvin Harris, is also set to DJ, having been flown in especially from Las Vegas.

The BRIT Awards is an annual ceremony which celebrates the latest musical achievements in the UK and internationally. This year, Mumford and Sons, Muse, One Direction, Robbie Williams, and Justin Timberlake are set to lay at the event, which is being hosted by English comedian James Corden.

Various nominations have been handed out to the likes of Muse, Mumford & Sons, and Alt-J.

Timberlake recently collaborated with Jay-Z for their new single, “Suit & Tie,” the video to which was directed by legendary filmmaker David Fincher. Timberlake and Fincher worked together on 2010’s The Social Network, which saw the pop star play Sean Parker, the founder of Napstar.

Are you excited for Timberlake’s return to the musical scene? Or will you miss his acting prowess? Is he the new Frank Sinatra?
