Jay-Z splashes out on party

Jay-Z hosted a lavish party for a host of his famous friends at the weekend.

The hip-hop star completed the last of his eight shows at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and decided to celebrate on Saturday night with 40 pals. The party took place at 1Oak in New York City and stars spotted there included Jay-Z's wife Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Usher, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tyson Beckford, Irina Shayk and Lindsay Lohan.

A group of VIPs arrived with Jay-Z just after 2am and they enjoyed themselves into the early hours.

"Everyone partied till after 4am," a source told New York Post.

Guests were treated to Jay-Z's new Bacardi-produced cognac D'ussé.

Earlier in the evening, Beyoncé joined her rapper husband on stage for the sold out show in Brooklyn.

The singer looked stunning in tight leather pants, a leather jacket and high heels as she appeared to perform their Crazy in Love duet.

It appeared Jay-Z was lost for words when he saw his sexy wife's outfit as he missed his cue and was heard saying, "Oh sh*t, I should probably rap here."

Beyoncé also performed Young Forever with Jay-Z during the show.
