Jay Z Barneys Collection Earns Over $1 Million


Jay Z's controversial Barneys collection pulls in over $1 million for the Shawn Carter Foundation...

Back in October Jay Z came under fire for refusing to cut ties with Barneys after they were accused of racially profiling Black shoppers just weeks before Jay Z's limited collection went on sale [click here if you missed that].

After a ton of bad press Barneys pledged the entire profit from the partnership to Jay Z's Sean Carter Foundation plus 10% of all sales from the department store on the first day the collection went on sale.

The Sean Carter Foundation, run by Jay Z's mother, helps underprivileged students attend college.
