Kanye West Jay-Z Must be nice to be able to have Daddy call in these kinds of personal favors. Just one month after one rich and powerful dad was unable to bag Kanye West for his kid’s Bar Mitzvah, one New York businessman got his little girl Yeezy AND Hov, with a side of Ryan Leslie to celebrate her Sweet 16. The rappers turned out to attend a bash for Leslie Taylor, the daughter of one of Jay Z’s business associates, at the Carlton Hotel in New York on Saturday (11Jun11) – just days after West’s own birthday on Wednesday (08Jun11). The lavish party was given a Black Swan theme in honour of Natalie Portman’s Oscar-winning ballet movie and the bash featured four ballerinas in Swan Lake costumes who danced to West’s Runaway. Rapper/producer Ryan Leslie sang Happy Birthday to the teenager towards the end of the night, and the hip-hop superstars then sent the crowd into a frenzy by taking over the mic, according to the New York Daily News. Happy birthday, Leslie. We hope you realize it’s all downhill from here.
