Occupy Wall Street Movement Gets No Monetary Benefits with Jay-Z’s T-shirts
21.11.11

The Millionaire Rap Star, Jay Z, has released its line of T-shirts with the catchy phrase “Occupy All Street” by crossing W and adding S to the phrase “Occupy Wall Street”. Rapper has released the line on Friday, to support the Occupy Wall Street Movement, but he is not intended to share the proceeds with protestors. The shirt has been made available under Rocawear Clothing label and currently being sold on Racowear’s official website with tag price of $22.

Occupy Wall Street Movement demonstrations began from September 17 from New York City’s Zuccotti Park, spreading to Los Angeles and various other cities to record the protest against Corruption and Greed of 1% elites.

A spokesperson of Racowear told, "the 'Occupy All Streets' T-shirt was created in support of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. 'Occupy All Streets' is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street. At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement."

Rapper has no intention to share out the profits among protestors or movement. But a high profile supporter of the Occupy Wall Street Movement, Russell Simmons, has advertised Jay Z’s T-shirt via Twitter; formerly this week by writing, “Love Jay-Z’s T-shirts” and recently has tweeted, “Glad I got mine today” with a photo link published on his GlobalGrind website.
