Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Jay-Z's Good Deed Regenerate Tribeca Building?

A week after Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast, many people are still without electricity. Many NYC dwelling celebrities, including Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz were also affected, and they tweeted about “candlelight” life. Jay-Z and Beyonce are rumored to have also lost power in their $7 million Tribeca loft. Not one to sit and let a problem fester, Jay-Z allegedly went out and bought a new generator for the entire building!

We hear they’re calling him the “Hurricane Sandy Guardian Angel”. Um…excuse, me but buying a generator for a building full of rich people can hardly be called a guardian angel. Just keeping it real.

Maybe that’s just the NY Post putting their spin on it. Google Staten Island. Strong Island really took a big hit – now those people need help.

Well, we hear that Jay and Bey didn’t sit in their dark luxury loft for long, and booked a few suites at the Mandarin Oriental at Columbus Circle and 60th Street in Manhattan. Cue the lifestyles of the rich and famous by the Lost Boyz.

Sidenote – Jay-Z and Beyonce allegedly had an extravagant “Costumes only” Halloween Party planned for the 31st, but Hurricane Sandy altered their plans and forced them to cancel the party.

According to the NY Daily News, a source close to the elite couple say that Bey and Jay had already sent invitations out to their close friends but failed to mention a location. On Halloween Day, they all received a cancellation message instead of a location message.

Don’t feel too bad for Jay-Z and Beyonce – they found a sitter for Blue Ivy and attended Cipriani’s star-studded party where they partied it up with Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh, they also attended the season opener for The Brooklyn Nets. Yeah, like I said, lifestyles of the rich and famous.
