Rap Artist Jay-Z made a statement saying, "In the past several weeks two separate investigations were launched as a result of wrongful detention of Trayon Christian and Kayla Phillips.

My team has been privy to the status of the Barney's third party consultant investigation in continuing our research, we also contacted the New York State Attorney General's Office for the status of their investigation into both Barneys and Macy's, those findings are not yet available.

While I await the findings of the Attorney General's Office, I have agreed to move forward with the launch of BNY SCC collection under the condition that I have a leadership role and sit on a council specially convened to deal with the issues of racial profiling".
