SOUND OFF: Is Jay-Z Doing it TOO BIG by Buying His Wife an ISLAND for her Birthday?

Posted by Juan

I guess the recession is relative right?


@jayz
This weekend the incomparable, Shawn Carter made Birdman and his 900 Carat necklace look like a sour power/ bazooka candy purchase.  In a baller move that was sure to make Riley Freeman and Thugnificent proud of, Jay-Z demonstrated his love for his wife, Beyoncé or at least that his paper is long.  According to the “ever reliable media source”,  Mediatakeout Hov dropped a cool $20 million to cop a small island in the Florida Keys for her 29th birthday. Nah its not a game.  The island which is a reported 12.5 acres is about 2.5 miles offshore and only accessible via air and sea.  I guess now she’ll have all the privacy she needs to test out that diamond studded S&M whip that Lady Gaga gave her for her birthday.

So think about that when you’re calculating your peanuts trying to make ends meet so you can pay the rent or mortgage.  An island son….an island.  God Bless him.

    If I could buy my wife an island, I sure would.

  2. ca$h says:

    who says money cant buy love? cuz hoes wouldnt give hov a 2nd look if he worked at burger king.

  3. B.E.B. says:

    This is ridiculous. I ain’t even gonna front, I’m straight hatin’. Not because he bought an island or that he can buy anything he wants, I’m just hating cuz I know how “naughty” Beyonce is gonna be for Hov on that island!!! You know she’s gonna be walking around ass naked!!! (SIGH) I can only imagine…

    A recession is relative.
    Someone is making money in a recession. If I had the money to buy an island, I would. An island for my wife? I don’t know…she might get out of line and I might get pissed off and want to take the island away. Spanish women are fresh at the mouth and since I don’t take the Ike turner approach, I have to be careful. lol

  5. 2NA$$TEE says:

    1st off Jay Z is making looooooooooooooooooooooong train smoke money while these other rap clowns are buying bling bullshit. I see Birdman never watched baby boy the part about “Guns and Butter” Land, Stocks, shit that will bring paper 2 u with interest.Most rappers don’t last past there Debut much less careers like Jay, Dre, Cube , L.L.Too $hort, Queen La, and Will Smith.They have all flipped it and r making major chippers.Plus Jay has Beyonce 2 himself on a beach….xxxcuse me an Island a whole island as I type this I am starting 2 H8 on Jigga and can imagine the pleasure he will recieve from Beyonce the haterade is in my sights in about 5 seconds the hating will begin 4 3 2 1 Fuck Jay-Z Punk ass!!! Joe the Camel looking no rapping wack lyrics ass nawkuh!! Had 2 get that out of my system Congrats Jay-Z “get cha money Playboy “.

  6. gphi says:

    I like Jay-Z(as a rapper…he can rap to me), I think that he acts “stuck up” as a person sometimes though, jus’ going by what I’ve seen on TV though. I must admit though, this is a super big baller move. PEACE!!!!

  7. Mr. Bad Guy says:

    BROOKLYN GOES HARD!!!!
    .
    And yall n@ggas thought Jay was playing around!!!
    .
    I’d but my wife a Isand for like our 40th or 50th anniversary… Ita a little premature for their relationship.
    .
    But then again I bet he bought her an island that is still in his name…if anything he’ll either sell it or pay to cut it in half if ever she should divorce him and join team Mr. Bad Guy….

  8. macika says:

    HE SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY!! TEHRE ARE TOO MANY ISLANDS ALL OVER THE WORLD HE COULDVE BOUGTH ONE OF THEM FOR ALOT LESS CHEAPER THATN THAT. BUT IM GUESSING LOCALE IS KEY. MORE/LESS POWER TO HIM.

  9. Malcolm says:

    I’m all for buying an island, but he paid too much if it’s only 12.5 acres.

  10. auchamp22 says:

  11. Chill says:

    Plus, at lease he didn’t go and spend 2 million on f**kin car….

  12. Mr. Bad Guy says:

    MY 30 YEAR OLD EYES CAN’T ZOOM IN THAT FAR!!!!!

    JUAN CAN YOU PLEASE BLOW THIS PIC UP FOR ME AND THE REST OF THE NATION?

  13. Shakes says:

    LMAO @ Mr. Bad Guy – it sure as hell looks like one.

  14. Jaypream says:

    All these other rappers need to take note. Y’all can keep y’all 900k pieces, 2 million dollar cars, and y’all stupid chains. Anybody can get that. The only thing they ain’t making anymore of is land. That will make money for your children’s children’s children.

  15. B.E.B. says:

    I had to do a double take and I can’t confirm it but it sure does look like it!!! Juan, help us out!!!

  16. nwahs75 says:

    GUYS, it HAS to be nipple. Cause I’m drooling…!

  17. ChirstLike86 says:

    WOOOOWWW, how is this POSITIVE? Why couldn’t he take that 20 MILLION & help better Marcy Projects and other inner city public housing in the MODERN DAY BABYLON that he loves so dearly, NEW YORK! Why couldnt he help the AIDS epidemic in AFRICA! How bout creating some jobs for this broken economy! Outside of the MUSIC industry, this lame does nothing to boost the less fortunate. And please dont feed me that crap about charity work the “public eye” doesn’t always see. His day will come where MONEY & FAME wont grant him the infinite POWER he thrives on. And please dont LABEL me a HATER because that’s not in my heart. DISLIKE is though, and JAYZ is at the top of that list…!?!
