LONDON:

Jay-Z reportedly held a bachelor party in Canada on April 2 ahead of his rumoured wedding to Beyonce Knowles.

The record executive mogul threw a private party at Toronto hotspot Lobby after performing in the city, but onlookers said it looked more extravagant than a standard bash.

One onlooker commented, “It looked like a bachelor party because soon the doors were closed to all but the immediate guests. Jay-Z was laughing and happy and talking to everyone around him. It was amazing how many girls were flirting with him, but he was just being nice to everyone.”

Jay-Z and Beyonce, who have been dating for six years, are said to be planning to tie the knot in New York on April 4. The date is believed to have special significance to the celebrity pair, who seems to have a fondness for the number four. Beyonce celebrates her birthday on September 4 and Jay-Z was born on December 4, the couple also have matching ‘IV’ tattoos on their ring fingers. Jay-Z also owns the 40/40 sports bars and nightclubs. — Agencies
