Jay-Z is set to throw his Oscar-night event in a lounge space on the Sunset Strip hotel’s storied property that was once home to Bar Marmont. The hitch: There is an ongoing boycott of the property.

“For Jay-Z to choose the Chateau Marmont for their Gold Party is shockingly insensitive,” said Kurt Petersen, co-president of UNITE HERE Local 11, in a statement. “They must move their event and choose an after-party hot spot that treats its workers, especially Black women, with dignity and respect. Jay-Z has a responsibility to do better.
Representatives for Jay-Z and the hotel didn’t return requests for comment. The couple have been vocal in the fight for racial equality, leveraging their platforms to speak out on legislation and in support of the Black Lives Matters movement.
