After a big celebration with friends Jay Z reportedly racked up quite a bar bill but his tip has sparked backlash

In one evening Jay-Z was reportedly able to rack up quite a large bill, but it’s what he left as a tip that got people talking.

Back in 2018 the billionaire went out to celebrate a friend’s birthday in New York. Sounds normal enough.

The rapper and his friends were believed to be celebrating Juan “OG” Perez, the president of Roc Nation Sports, birthday.

The night went as you would expect. The group went out for dinner in Manhattan reportedly costing $13,000 – before heading to a bar with a cool $9,000.

Considering Jay-Z is a billionaire that isn’t much more than pocket change for the star, let’s be honest.

It was when the group allegedly racked up a Playroom tab of $91,135 for a few bottles of Ace of Spades Champagne that raised a some eyebrows on social media.

The impressive bar bill also included a $11,000 (£7,844) tip for the waiting staff in the New York hotspot, but some users on X weren’t happy.

Some people questioned with such a large bill why the rapper and group didn’t tip 20 percent, again igniting the tipping war debate online.

“Yeah, Jay-Z left a 11,000$ tip on a 80,000$ tab. That’s not even 15%,” one user wrote.

“Definitely don’t go out if you don’t tip. We tip OUT to the kitchen and full time hours is usually about 22 hours a week. That s*** is NOT enough to support myself so I depend on tips,” said another.

“If Jay Z is only tipping 15% I’ll never have enough money to tip 18-20%,” a third wrote.

However, there were many who were stunned that people were complaining about such a hefty tip because of the percentage.

“The world we live in, where a waitress gets an $11,000 tip and it’s frowned upon because of the % of the tip. Gotta love it! smh,” one bemused X user wrote.

“Y’all are petty asf. The man got a 11000 tip for a nights work. Talking aboutJ didn’t give15% tip. Mf don’t have to tip foh,” another commented.

“Waitress got 11k for bringing out 6 bottles, of which you won’t see a penny and you’re mad? Girl, go be mad at your man picking his nose at the dinner table,” a third joked.

But despite the back and fourth argument, it’s unlikely to be the last time a comment section descends into a full-blown keyboard war over how much is acceptable to tip.
