Jay-Z loves to wear Tom Ford. So much in fact, that he named a song after him on Magna Carta Holy Grail. WDD spoke with the designer and he had this to say:
“Who would not be flattered to have an entire Jay-Z track named after them? I mean, come on, it’s pretty rare that something like that happens. It’s a kind of validation of one’s work, as it means that one has really penetrated and made an impact on popular culture.”
“My favorite line is ‘I don’t pop Molly, I rock Tom Ford.’ I love that he gets a ‘high’ from my clothes. I have been dressing him for years now, and I have to say I think he looks great in my clothes. [He] is one of our biggest customers. He let me know about this quite a while ago.”
GREAT STORY.
Cool story bro.
I think Jay has just snagged free Tom Ford shit forever with this song…
Is Tom ford gay? I like his sunglasses line.
but this beat is dope but word hova super dumbed it down on this track.
And thankfully no jean Michel basqiat references on it.
great stuff this …….. only thing though tom ford , along side mark Jacobs and almost the whole designer industry that produces high end stuff is gay though ……… I was shocked to learn that ..
I don’t know if I’ll ever understand supposedly hood/ghetto/urban black rappers showing mad love to gay white clothing designers, yet it doesn’t really work the other way around….I mean, where’s Gucci’s Jay-Z line?

word to Midsize Jerm. I can dig it.
Good answer he learned from Tommy Hilfiger and Cristal.China and the Hood will now bootleg your shit. Good day
Jay z stay setting trends for these sheep to follow!! But the first rapper I heard speak of Tom ford was meek mill.
@ Drew
^ that Tommy Hilfiger thing was NEVER true. Do your research, it was urban legend.
@theblakversionofrobinthicke Hov the reason everybody talk about, tom ford, basquiat, rolex, etc. you probably just havent heard enough jay z’s music

99.9999% of designers are gay! I could careless just not so sure why ppl are shock at this
Nah Hillfiger hate niggas!
Idk where you’re getting that. When Blue Ivy was born, Tom Ford made her a one-of-a-kind custom pair of baby shoes, designed specifically around her feet as a birthday present… idk how much more love you can show somebody.

Its funny that blacks still care about color or the fact that they are prejudice against gays
Ironic right
