Jay-z said the opening of the Barclay Center is his one chance to be selfish. In an interview he said “No one’s appearing, no one’s performing. It’s Brooklyn! This is my one chance to be selfish. Can’t I? Can’t I be selfish? Thank you.” When asked will he have the stamina to perform eight shows by himself and said he does and will release what he calls “H.O. merchandise!”. The Barclay Center will be a new home of the Brooklyn Nets for which Jay-Z is part owner of.
