Jay-Z Pays Up On 50-1 Bet

Four years ago, Jay-Z offered Playboy editor Rob Tannenbaum 50-1 odds that he’d never come out of retirement, snatching $20 out of Tannenbaum’s hand in the process. After the recent release of ‘Kingdom Come’, Tannenbaum figured he’d try to collect and called the hip hop mogul’s assistant to remind him of the wager. Last week, a messenger delivered him 10 crisp $100 bills from Jay-Z’s office. “Jay-Z is a man of his word,” Tannenbaum told The New York Post. “I just bought a plasma TV with the money, and the first thing I’m going to watch on it is a Jay-Z video.”
