Bad news for Rocawear staff members.

Jay Z’s company has laid off half of their employees!

The rap mogul actually sold his company back in 2007 to Iconix Brand Group but he stayed on as a shareholder.

He’s also responsible for product development as well as marketing and licensing.

Unfortunately, the company blames the bad global economy for the loss of all those jobs.

They had to let go of 28 of their 56 employees.

Times are tough.

Not only is Jay-Z part owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team, but now he can add fashion designer for the NBA to his resume.

The rapper will be designing the player’s new uniforms!

Jay-Z will be teaming up with Adidas to create the new outfits with new logos and team colors.

In case you didn’t know, the team will be moving to a new stadium from Newark to Brooklyn and will now be called the Brooklyn Nets.

Jay-Z is even putting together a series of concerts at the Nets’ new stadium after they move.

Talk about being a busy guy!

Let's hope the uniforms look good though.
