Jay-Z shouts out cousin during speech after $4800 backlash
Jay-Z did an interview with Kevin Hart, last year, that went viral this week. In particular, there was a clip when he used his cousin as an example describing people who don’t understand wealth. When Jay detailed a cousin asking him for a $4,800 investment during Thanksgiving, fans got upset. Ultimately, Jay turned this cousin down. After that, he explained it “don’t work like that.” As a result, Jay-Z has been targeted negatively by fans.
Jay-Z defied incredible odds to be in the position he’s currently holding. To hear those who know Jay describe him, they say he’s always been flashy. In addition, they say he’s always been rich. As a result, him doing what he’s doing now really comes as no surprise. Four years ago, Jay-Z’s wealth made history, as he crossed a historic line. When Forbes concluded their calculations, they found his net worth to be over $1 billion. As a result, he became rap’s first billionaire.
Jay-Z faced much backlash, after he told Kevin Hart he refused to loan his cousin $4,800. Someone on social media compared this to a person making $50,000 a year being asked to give someone a dime. In the end, there were plenty of debates about what should or should not have been done. Aside from all of this, Jay-Z was honored by the Brooklyn Public Library. At their gala, Jay spoke, and during his speech, he gave his cousin, Jamal, a shout out.
