DRUG DEALING COST JAY-Z NIGHTS OUT AT THE CINEMA

Rap mogul JAY-Z stopped going to the cinema in his early 20s because he was terrified of spending two hours sitting in the dark. Back then the 99 Problems hitmaker was a street hustler and drug dealer and felt vulnerable sitting in a cinema. Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, says, "(It was) hustler's paranoia. You don't want to sit in one place for too long. "I stopped going to barbershops as well. It's just smart. You could be in a theatre for three hours. Anything could happen."
