The '99 Problems' hitmaker, real name Shawn Carter, returned to his native Brooklyn last month to officially launch the Barclays Center, the new home of his Nets basketball team, with eight sold-out gigs.

He performed each show wearing a black and white Nets jersey bearing the number four and his last name, Carter, and now he's offered up 10 signed replicas to raise funds for the Shawn Carter Foundation, which aids financially-strapped students, reported Contactmusic.

Jay Z is a minority owner of the Brooklyn Nets and was instrumental in helping to relocate the team from New Jersey this year.
