Jay-Z is putting on a star-studded celebration in honor of the 18th anniversary of the 40/40 Club in New York City, on Saturday, August 28th. The guest list features some of the biggest names in the music industry and Hollywood as a whole.
The 40/40 club was opened by the Roc-A-Fella Records founder in 2003 and describes itself as “the lavish warmth of a New York City penthouse with the vivacity and glamour of court-side seats at a championship game,” according to a press release caught by Uproxx. The venue is loaded with rare memorabilia from some of the most iconic moments in sports history.

The guests each received a unique hourglass filled with black sand inside counting down until the return of Hov’s club, which has been closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As for other business moves, Jay is reportedly getting into sports gambling after recently applying for a sports betting license in the state of New York.
