Employees at financial tech firm Block have been ordered by executives not to discuss a prominent board member: rapper Jay-Z.
Staffers have recently received "stern warnings" from management that they shouldn't mention Jay-Z, whose legal name is Shawn Carter, on internal company forums like email or messaging system Slack, according to three employees who requested anonymity because they are not permitted to speak about corporate matters. No reason was given for the order, the employees said.
