Rap mogul Jay-Z took a moment to withdraw himself from his status as a Forbes heavyweight and reflected on the aftermath of last week's hard-hitting Hurricane Sandy.

Young Hov took to his Life + Times website and also commented on watching his new Brooklyn Nets win their NBA debut Saturday (November 3) night.

"Reflecting on the first game in Brooklyn and thinking about the hurricane. Thinking about being undefeated and all the losses/wins that lie ahead. Life will always throw adversity and tragedy at us. We remain resilient! Heartfelt prayers go out to those who lost their lives and to the families who continue the fight." (Life + Times)
