On Wednesday's THE DAILY SHOW, Jon Stewart took a full segment to rag on Jay Z for his continued association with Barneys after the luxury department store was recently accused of racial profiling.

DAILY SHOW correspondent Larry Wilmore took the words right out of Kanye West's mouth to chastise the rapper, saying, "Jay Z doesn't care about black people" and adding, "He's got a multimillion-dollar brand to protect ... He's not Jay Z, he's Jay Z Penney!"

The comments come after a young man filed a lawsuit after being stopped at Barneys after purchasing a designer belt. A young woman also exposed the store for similar treatment following her purchase of a designer bag.

Jay Z is set to launch a new product line at Barneys later this month.
