THE Z LIST!

Blimey, the hip-hip star certainly knows people - and they've all joined him on tour...

JAY-Z has enlisted the help of a few famous friends to take the place of R KELLY on the ‘BEST OF BOTH WORLDS' tour.



Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy, to MTV. "We understand the importance of our responsibility to our fans and to hip-hop. It doesn't surprise me, because R Kelly ain't hip-hop. In any event, the gift of the situation superseded the curse because as a result of the curse came [five] nights of hip-hop history."


"I'm a friend of Jay-Z, and I would have to say I'm also a friend of R Kelly," [a][/a] said. "It's a tough situation to be in the middle of, but you gotta understand that we are all artists and we gotta watch each other's backs. That's what friends are for. I don't really like the way it went down, but at the same time I'm trying to keep it positive."




Jay-Z is expected to take the tour, renamed ‘Jay-Z And Friends’, south to the American Airlines Arena in Miami on Friday (November 5).
