JAY-Z was caught up in a race row when bouncers at his BRITs after-show party “banned” white people from boozing with the star.
Chart legend Jay-Z threw a lavish bash but music industry executives, journalists and revellers were turned away from the roped-off area because of the colour of their skin.
Minders were spotted banning clubbers from the private event because they were not “of colour”.
The venue was top new members’ club Merah, in Oxford Circus, central London. But the party, put on by the Collective Entertainment Group, upset many of the chart favourites who turned up.
Among those left furious by the bizarre rulings were top black celebs. JLS hunk Oritsé Williams and Strictly Come Dancing judge Alesha Dixon, 31, stormed out.
One clubber said: “The security guards were happy to let in all party-goers apart from the white people.
