MassMedia Swag: Jay-Z Turns 40 Instyle

Jay-Z and friends partied it up in the Dominican Republic for his 40th birthday this weekend.  And a party insider tells ybf the deets on the lavish intimate bash–complete with synchronized swimmers and an A-List celeb filled guest list–that went down Friday night.

Beyonce arranged every detail of the party at Campo de Casa. The dinner party Friday night was elegant and everyone was asked to wear 1920’s or 1940’s era frocks. Beyonce asked Jay’s friends to shoot a video that was played at dinner telling Jay how they felt about him. We’re told Kevin Liles shot his mushy BFF speech weeks before the bash back in the states.

After dinner there were synchronized swimmers and fireworks. Then the party REALLY started with Jay was dancing the whole night…and Diddy in his usual place on the mic the whole night.

By the way, the guest list was packed with Mr. Carter’s close friends and family: Diddy & Kim Porter, Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz, Kanye & Amber Rose, Solange, Lyor Cohen & Tory Burch, Alex Rodriguez & Kate Hudson, Steve Stoute, Micheal Kyser, Dream Hampton, Rich Kleinman, John Menilly, Ty Ty, Jay Brown, and Chaka and Carline. And of course, Jay’s mother-in-law Miss Tina and cousin Angie were there too.  Mr. Carter’s immediate fam–his mother, grandmother, sisters, nephew Jarrel Carter, and other nephews were there too.
