After a grand celebration with friends, Jay-Z reportedly accumulated a substantial bar bill. However, his tipping for the party sparked debate on social media.
Jay-Z made significant payments for his birthday party bill.
In a single evening, Jay-Z managed to amass a substantial bill.
The incident dates back to 2018 when the billionaire decided to celebrate a friend’s birthday in New York. In just one evening, Jay-Z paid a significant bill.
However, his tipping for the bill became the topic of conversation on social media.
The incident occurred during Jay-Z's birthday party for Juan “OG” Perez, the president of Roc Nation Sports. The night unfolded as expected.
The group had dinner in Manhattan, reportedly costing $13,000, before heading to a bar and spending an additional $9,000.
It is believed that these amounts were akin to pocket change for Jay-Z given his billionaire status.
However, the story continues
The Controversy surrounding Jay-Z's party tipping.
The controversy began when the group allegedly accumulated a Playroom tab of $91,135 for a few bottles of Ace of Spades Champagne, capturing the attention of social media users.
The hefty bar bill also included an $11,000 (£7,844) tip for the waiting staff at the New York hotspot. According to some users, Jay-Z's $11,000 tip on a $91,135 bill is unsatisfactory.
On social media, Jay-Z's tipping sparked debate.
Several people questioned why the rapper and his group didn’t tip 20 percent, reigniting the online tipping war debate. Someone else pointed out that his tipping wasn't even 15%.
Another claimed that Jay-Z's tipping is not enough to support the service.
One person said: Yeah, Jay-Z's tip on an $80,000 tab was $11,000. That doesn't even amount to 15%.
A second wrote: The money isn’t enough to support the waiters, so they rely on tips.
While a third commented: His tipping is unsatisfactory.
Another said: He should tip 18-20% for the bill
However, on the other hand, many were surprised by the size of this generous tip
In the comment selection, someone complained about such a generous tip because of the percentage.
One user wrote: Employees should work for a wage.
Someone else said: Americans crying about their tipping culture is peak cringe
Another said: How much do these people make that a 11,000 tip is not enough? Pshh. I thought $20 is a lot.
Someone commented: $11,000 tip. People expected him to pay more? Are they nuts?
People are mad because he tipped 11k. Absolute insanity. Someone added.
