Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has reportedly promised to drop a few rap bars when minority owner/rapper Jay-Z kicks off a series of Barclays Center concerts this fall.
While details are still scarce, Prokhorov has even joked about how much rehearsal time he has dedicated to the upcoming performance(s). According to Mr. Prokhorov, a reprise is in the works, but this time in downtown Brooklyn, where Jay-Z will open the $1 billion Barclays Center with a series of sold-out concerts this fall.
“Yes, I will rap at his concert,” Mr. Prokhorov informed Crain’s via email. “I am in rehearsals now 10 hours a day and plan to demand joint billing.”

During an appearance on the the Russian TV show Spotlight Paris Hilton earlier this year, MP let a few rhymes loose to show off his skills. “Mr. Jay-Z, this is the first presentation/Of real rap music from Russian Federation,” he rapped.
