also issued a statement, via The Root, briefly detailing the decision: “After discus- sions of almost a year, Park- wood has acquired 100 percent of the Ivy Park brand. Top- shop — Arcadia will fulfill the existing orders.”
In 2016 Beyonce launched Ivy Park, telling Elle that it
serves to promote the inner beauty within women. “It’s re- ally the essence to celebrate every woman and the body she’s in while always striving to be better,” she said. “...It’s not about perfection. It’s about purpose. We have to care about our bodies and what we put in them.”
A physical altercation that occurred in March at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club has re- sulted in a lawsuit against the popular establishment.
A source reports Wednes- day (Nov. 14), a lawsuit by Jose Irizarry was launched against the club for failing to secure his safety during an altercation.
Irizarry says he was badly beaten after suffering contu- sions to the head and body when security guards clashed with unknown patrons at the club.
That evening, an incident involving boxer Jermall Charlo took place when a bag full of diamonds and other jewelry were stolen. Irizarry’s attorney reportedly told the site, “he’s almost certain the fight his client was dragged into was the same one.”
Though Jay-Z is not specif- ically named in the lawsuit targeted against the club’s management, being that the “Empire State Of Mind” rap- per owns the 40/40 sports bar he may still be liable.
