Rapper Nas, existent make Nasir mary harris jones, reignited his decade-long boeuf with buster rapper Jay Z after scoring a point over the latter with a casino venture in New York City.
Jay Z, with a net worth of $b2.6 billion, famously failed in his attempt to buy a casino in Times Square last week. His company, Roc Nation, placed a bid to build a casino on 1515 Broadway, but it was rejected by the city board.

The expansion, partly financed by Nas as a partner, will happen in collaboration with Resort World, a Las Vegas-based casino and hospitality franchise. As part of the expansion plans, a resort alongside the existing Resort World casino in Queens is set to be built.
The good news came for the rapper on Thursday after the New York City board approved the expansion plan unanimously on Thursday. It will make it the largest Casino in all of New York.
Nas (Nasir Jones) has an estimated net worth of between $75 million and $120 million in 2025, depending on the source. He co-founded Mass Appeal Records and has made early-stage investments in tech companies such as Coinbase, Ring, and Dropbox through his venture firm, Queensbridge Venture Partners.
