To see the original story look below.
The411: The NBA is reportedly going to look into a celebration where Jay-Z congratulated the University of Kentucky men's basketball team for advancing to the NCAA Final Four defeating North Carolina Sunday night. Did Jay-Z step out of bounds when he visited the Kentucky locker room? It appears that the National Basketball Association is calling foul.
As a minority owner of the New Jersey Nets it’s frowned upon, but not an NCAA violation. However, it may be a problem because the Wildcats have future NBA draft picks.
Tell me what you think? Was it just a great gesture by the rap star? Just as a side note-this is not the first person who visited a Kentucky team. President Bill Clinton visited the University of Louisville men's basketball team's locker room after the Notre Dame win.
