MC enjoys a late dinner with Wonder, Robin Thicke after show, then catches Manny Pacquiao/ Joshua Clottey boxing match. By Shaheem Reid Jay-Z performs in Atlantic City on Saturday Photo: Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa Jay-Z doesn’t just bring out the stars out onstage — earlier this month at New York’s Madison Square Garden , for example, Shaquille O’Neal, LeBron James, Diddy, Rick Ross and Gwyneth Paltrow were among the spectators taking in his BP3 show (and while Lil Wayne appeared onstage during Young Jeezy’s opening set , he probably caught some of Jigga’s show from backstage).

Jay references the pugilist from the Philippines on Blueprint 3 ‘s “Thank You,” saying “On the tube, I’m just watching Pacquio box ’em up.” After the 12-round fight, Thicke went to Borgata’s club mur.mur, where Samantha Ronson had spun earlier in the night.
