Jay-Z may be at the top of his game right now after coming out of retirement and scoring big with his latest album, but that doesn't mean he can't take on more. He is the guy that said, "I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man." This time he's teamed up with GM to hip up the brand a bit. He was on hand with a bunch of other celebs like Carmen Electra, Nick Lachey, and Kristin Bell at a party thrown by the car corporation to show off their new inventory. Here's more:
Jay-Z and General Motors are teaming up to bring a stylish hue to a rugged sport utility vehicle. The music mogul emerged from a concept GMC Yukon Denali SUV on stage Saturday during a celebrity-filled party thrown by General Motors Corp. on the eve of media previews for the North American International Auto Show.
Painted "Jay-Z Blue," the SUV was developed through a partnership with the rapper during the past two years. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, worked with the company's global color studio to create the reflective blue color for the SUV.
"Hopefully I'll be able to drive one of them out of here tonight," he said.
We're sure that he did. Hopefully he picked one up for Beyonce as well! Lots more pics including Carmen, Jennifer Hudson, Ashley Scott, CariDee English, Cheryl Hines, Christian Slater, Dax Shepard, Gabrielle Reece, Jennifer Hudson, Jimmy Kimmel, Kristen Bell, Laird Hamilton, Maria Menounos, Mario Lopez, Nick Cannon, Nick Lachey, Petra Nemcova and Vivica A. Fox so just read more
So what, they can afford Jay-Z, but they can't afford their own employees? They can pay celebrities untold millions, but they're going to lay off their entire call center and outsource it to Argentina? Bite me, GM.
