Fan tells Jay-Z he’d take $500K instead of dinner with him
Jay-Z is easily the most influential rapper of all-time. This is evidenced by all of the ways he is referenced in all walks of life. Two years ago, a meme showed up on social media. The meme sparked a debate over taking $500,000, or a dinner with Jay-Z. That situation took a life of its own, leading to Jay-Z eventually telling people to just take the money. A fan recently had the chance to meet Jay-Z and he told Hov he was taking the money.
Jay-Z entered the industry as a rapper, but he always grander plans. As a result, he was one of the first rappers to actually own the label he was signed to. However, concessions were made, as they sold a stake into their label to Def Jam. In turn, Jay took on the role of CEO and president of the label. This came after he and his partners sold the remaining interests in the label to Def Jam. After that, Jay vacated his position at Def Jam to create Roc Nation.
Jay-Z became the first rapper to become a billionaire. However, most of his net worth has come from his business interests, outside of music. Despite this, his impact on rap will forever have him cemented as a rapper in the eyes of most. At the same time, he is one of the most successful businessmen of this generation. Recently, Jay-Z was at an event, and he encountered a fan who told him that he would take the $500,000, as opposed to having dinner.
