(Toronto Sun) — Rap superstar Jay-Z has come under fire from members of a carpentry union after hiring a private firm to renovate his New York sports bar. The Empire State of Mind hitmaker shut down the Manhattan branch of his 40/40 Club in June to give the venue a complete design overhaul, worth an estimated $10 million. It was expected to relaunch this month, but Jay-Z and his business partner Juan Perez are now looking at a November re-opening.
