Because you'd be lying to people.

Look, only black people think theres some honor in being some fukking mascot and then trying to brand yourself as some media mogul.

Even Diddy is hawking Ciroc like its god's golden water. Its insulting. These people are influencers. They're not these titans of industry they try to reference.

Jay has a $90 million Beverly Hills mansion, and a $20 million mansion in the Hamptons. Diddy has a $40 million home in Beverly Hills and a $15 million mansion on star island with a big as yacht in front of it. Shaq??? That’s jut self explanatory. You really tryna clown these dudes business acumen, at what point will you consider them successful. And who exactly are you comparing them too? Oil tyc00ns, Jeff bezos?

Why are you counting their money?

The only time they interact with you is selling you images of white wealth in Tiffany commercials.

I will never consider them successful outside of their primary jobs: Entertainment. They're not business people. They're brands and high paid mascots.

Business people at least have a quality that allows laymen to replicate.

The "success" attributed to celebrity is not really success.

And yet they still have to whore out their likeness for liquor and trinkets.

That’s all I needed to know breh, Jay-z primary job was rapping, Diddy was producing…. The vast majority of their fortune now comes from neither of those things. And counting their money is the whole basis of this conversation

So you are of the opinion that if you are a business person, you by rule cannot endorse anything? You have to own everything?
Yes.

I am.

Thats the same metric Hov was trying to present himself as.



Its amazing how this is seen by you all. The guy is just inflating brands based on celebrity, then parachuting when he can't pump the stock up anymore.

I get it. Most private people do it, but without HIS NAME being on it, he's not doing anything.

I guarantee you the guy isn't working nearly as hard as these white names he's name dropping out here.

And I'm a Jay-Z SUPERFAN...but shyt like this just bothers me to no end. Its like he's trying to find himself and his mute wife can't figure out how to do something without being cringe.

I mean really? Beyonce is fukkin BEYONCE and she's out here modeling ADIDAS tracksuits????????????

These people aren't role models.

Look, at least Rick Ross knows what he is and doesn't try to lie to people about it. He's a marketer and a serial promoter. He's not going to label himself some business genius with tactics mimicking JP Morgan or something.

Nobody is above critique and these two are overrated in a lot of aspects, but these lil micro-aggressions are extreme. A lot of it comes off nonsensical as hell. Beyonce and Jay Z shouldn’t conjure up so much bitterness and vitriol over a normal ad campaign. It’s weird in a way that y’all don’t express for anyone else.. and these ppl are considered modern day black icons. I’ll never understand that about this place.

So you have a problem with them using products they don't own?

Ok, firstly you have to get your facts straight. Just like you're advocating, Beyonce owns Ivy Park. Whats the problem now??

Why are we fighting?
Yo I'm puzzled TBH

Most of these dudes wouldn't even know who JMB is without Hov. I mean I only know because I have friends who went to art school so they love that type of thing. I'm not an art guy so....ya know?

To me this shyt is cool as hell that Hov is helping to maintain dudes legacy and making bread for HBCUs at the same time.

I'm a Brooklyn cat so I'm gonna have the Jay-Z bias....but there are TONS of things that I can objectively criticize Jay-Z over.

This ain't one of them.
