Jay Z will keep his special line of holiday goods at Barneys New York despite the furor over the “shop and frisk” controversy at the store, he said in a statement Friday night."
Jay had been pressured to drop the line with the retailer after two innocent African-American shoppers were questioned by police in separate incidents after making expensive purchases at Barneys, which also denies any wrongdoing.
