Nas wins NYC Casino Battle Over JAY-Z, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Clowns Him For Lost

Nas and his sturdy team of investors within the New York State Gaming Commission just voted to close on a $5.5 billion Resorts World Casino in his Queens hometown and a  politician couldn't resist ribbing Jay-Z, whose bid to open a Caesars Palace casino didn't share the same fortune Queens Borough President Donovan Richards took it upon himself to eulogize Jay and Roc Nation's casino plans before he cast his deciding final vote. "Sorry, Jay-Z, we win again," Richards quipped while letting it be known he was flinging some of that ether in Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso's direction to make his soul burn slow. Roc Nation President Desiree Perez ripped the negative voters for being nearsighted in what they had hoped would bring tons of capital to the BK area.
