That’s just…not accurate tho.The only thing that stopped Bernie was passing away too early.
Bernie is more like Pac where you knew he was headed towards doing more great things, one way or the other. Steve wasn't as gifted as a lot of other comedians but he hustled and did whatever to make $$$. He's more like a Master P than a Jay Z.
Bernie did die too young but not bc of showbiz, bc it was too young to die at all. He had dozens of movies by that point including staring films like Mr 3000 and Soul Man. Bernie had already made it big he wasn’t ‘on the cusp’
Also I still like to say jay z for Steve Harvey bc to this day people still discredit Jay by saying Beyonce making him famous or by saying ‘if Big never died….he bit Big’. Steve gets that same type of reaction. Whereas people respect master p. They do not respect Steve Harvey. When Steve Harvey has an accomplishment people don’t see it as a win for ‘us’. It seems to always come back to selling out or looking out for self. Similar to jay. Imo jay is a very accurate comparison
