Jay-Z and UK Chelsea soccer player Ashley Cole have teamed up to open a London branch of the 40/40 clubs that will give jobs primarily to long-term, unemployed youth.
The NVA Entertainment Group (NVA), which brokered the multi-million dollar deal, released this statement from Jay-Z:
“London is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world and the perfect location for our new venue. I’m excited about working with Ashley and NVA Entertainment Group on a range of new projects and The 40/40 London is going to be the hottest place in town.”
It’s awesome to see celebs giving back to the youth. Kudos, Jay-Z!
