Jay-Z is being accused of using actors to pose as fans outside Roc Nation’s offices in New York City. According to Black Media, the aging rapper uses a company called Crowds On Demand to provide actors who pose as autograph hunters.

Photographers captured images of the same guy on different days asking Jay-Z to sign vinyl albums outside Roc Nation. The same man was spotted at Megan Thee Stallion’s events. And fans noticed he always has the same vinyl records to be signed.

One person wrote on X.com: “Notice how he keeps coming up with the same Vinyl to be sign too.” Another person wrote: “Homie lives in my building, I’ll ask him the next time I see him.” A third person commented: “Y’all just got that man fired lmao. They can never send him out again.”

Singer Angela Redmon, aka “Mecca,” showed love to Jasmine Sullivan who performed “Feelin’ It” with Jay-Z at the Roots Picnic festival. Jasmine sang Mecca’s hook on “Feelin’ It.”

Mecca reposted the video from the concert on her Instagram account. “One thing I’ve always loved about music is hearing how different artists bring their own spirit to a song,” she wrote.

“Years ago, I had the honor of recording the original hook “Feelin It,” on JayZ’s first album Reasonable Doubt. So when JayZ brought out Jazmine Sullivan to sing it in Philadelphia, I couldn’t help but smile.”

She continued: “Jazmine is one of the most gifted vocalists in R&B, and I thought she sounded beautiful on it. As the original voice, I find a moment like this incredibly flattering. Songs that stand the test of time deserve to be reimagined, and if someone is going to touch that hook, it might as well be somebody with a voice like Jazmine.”
