It’s hard to tell if he was joking — after all, Mikhail Prokhorov has spit rhymes on the mic before — but for what it’s worth, the Brooklyn Nets’ majority owner claims that he’s planning to rap at one of business partner Jay-Z’s upcoming concerts.
Per Crain’s: “In February, the owner of the Brooklyn Nets, Mikhail Prokhorov, appeared on a Russian television comedy show called Spotlight Paris Hilton, and offered a musical tribute to his co-owner, hip-hop star Jay-Z. ‘Mr. Jay-Z, this rap is for you,’ went the English portion of the lyrics.
‘Mr. Jay-Z, this is the first presentation/of real rap music from Russian Federation. Mr. Jay-Z, you are not alone/Mikhail Prokhorov on the microphone.’ According to Mr. Prokhorov, a reprise is in the works, but this time in downtown Brooklyn, where Jay-Z will open the $1 billion Barclays Center with a series of sold-out concerts this fall. ‘Yes, I will rap at his concert,’ Mr. Prokhorov informed Crain’s via email. ‘I am in rehearsals now 10 hours a day and plan to demand joint billing.’”
