Categories: Jay-Z, Sporting Endeavours, things that are preposterous

He's in Berlin, the Canyon of Heroes, and at this point, probably your apartment, drinking the alcohol you were really looking forward to downing when you got home from a long day of seeing Jay-Z everywhere you fucking looked. [@NYCMayorsOffice, via Idolator]
