At the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, Jay-Z hosted a blackjack party where Jayson Tatum was spotted. The star-studded occasion was planned as a fundraiser for the Reform Alliance Board, a group that aims to change the legislation governing parole and probation. Celebrities Jack Harlow, Quavo, and Ella Mai were among those Tatum was accompanied by.
Among those invited to the exclusive gathering was the Celtics star. A $100,000 buy-in was required for attendees to compete in the blackjack event, while non-players had to pay a $50,000 buy-in. Ocean Casino Resort contributed a $1 million pot to the private all-star blackjack event.
Rappers Travis Scott, Meek Mill, and others later performed at the fundraiser event atop a marble bar. Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, Jack Harlow, Matthew McConaughey, and more were also in attendance. Jay-Z didn’t perform, though.
Rappers Meek Mill and Jay-Z established the Reform Alliance board as a criminal justice reform project to advocate for modifications to probation and parole regulations. Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, Laura Arnold, Michael Novogratz, Robert Smith, and Clara Wu Tsai, the co-owner of the Nets, are among the other founders.
A meal and an auction were included in the event in addition to the blackjack competition. Over $24 million was raised for the Reform Alliance charity by the 007-themed event.
