Jay Z wrong for not giving cousin $4800?

[I'm Blackman]

nope, once people feel entitled to your money, that's a hard hose to turn off. i'm especially not giving away money for something stupid

...but rent a spoons dora....rent a spoons

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

Yep everybody should be put in position to make money for themselves.

It's the only REAL solution.
Jay gets to give back / help the family
The family gets to earn the money
No favors exchanged
Keep it transactional and avoid any room for parasite behavior or for the favor to be thrown in your face later.

 

[360dagod]

When is enough enough though??

Jayz isn't an ATM

 

[shopthatwrecks]

nikka better donate some plasma folk

 

[daemonova]

if I stop at a light today and a panhandler approaches my car, I'm lower the window, look him dead in the eye and say that shyt lmaooo

Then the bum spits on yo window

 

[Ziggiy]

come on zig a Wiseman from QB once said "I got my old homie's half sister father asking me for change, yep I give this cash up, this paper don't matter"

he also said, "....debating should I blow it or save it, it's only some paper"

He ALSO said

How you a man waitin' for the next man to get rich?
Yo' plan is to stick out yo' hand real quick
So if he feed ya family and he serve you shyt
Then he need that head you get and he deserve ya bytch
Since you wishin' cash fall from the sky all ya life
Dwellin' on the past when you was alright
When you was gettin' cash but wasn't too bright
Now ya luck down you feel like, bustin' them shells
Nobody owe you, can't do nothin' for self
Want nikkas to show you, how to come up wit' green
I scheme since I'm fourteens, what the fukk was your dream?

Just cause you say yes 1 two or three times, doesn't mean you have to say yes all the time.

Always best to set the boundaries from the get go.

You want money? You got two arms and two legs? You speak english? You got two eyes to see? You free of any crippling life threatening diseases? Then ask me for a JOB instead of panhandling for money.

Its clear as day by the example he used. These are people hustling for money, not opportunity.

 

[Software]

Cousin should've learned to rap so he could be like Jay instead of asking for hand outs

 

[DamienWayne]

When I get rich, I plan to put my entire immediate family on.

I hadn't thought about cousins...


But I can't see myself turning them down if they come to me for an opportunity.

The only difference between a cousin and immediate family is if the cousin effs up, they won't get a second chance. I would prop my sibling up if they messed up cause we literally came out the same womb.

A cousin and I came out the same womb too but how many wombs ago was that

Go out like hammer brehs

 

[Ozymandeas]

If I ever hit the Powerball I'm giving bread to everyone on the Coli except Papa Pimp..
Life don't work like that..

I’d break off everyone on the Coli except @mastermind. I’d send him one Venezuelan dollar though to be nice

You can do both and i'm sure Jigga has given plenty handouts to his peoples over his career, this is just one of the times he said no.

 

[ajnapoleon]

If he can set up his shiesty friends for life why not his cousin? If I had a couple billion every cousin would have at least half a million easy.

That’s how hammer went broke


And his immediate family seems good

His nephews work for him

He talking about those cousins

Let’s do some math.

I have 30 family members for example.

I give each one $500,000.00 - 1million

That’s 30 million at most.

If I have billions like I said … billions …

30 million will not hurt my pockets.

Just say you wouldn’t do it and leave it at that …

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Go out like hammer brehs

I'm smarter than Hammer

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

if we grew up together then yeah i’d expect hov to give his couch change to his cousin. if it’s someone he ain’t been around for real then fukk no

Yeah, depends for me

I got a few cousins I'd help no problem but others I'll pass on

 

[ajnapoleon]

I see what he's saying...

I think he lends money but I think he wants the person receiving it to be realistic. Like at least approach him with something sensible or just flat out say I'm behind in bills would u be able to temporarily help me out. I'm sure he wants to see his people win, but they also gotta put in some education / research. Jay is a lot of things but you can't say he's not intelligent or isn't a thinker.

Now Kevin... I can see him flat out saying no. He seems the selfish azzhole type that will tell his people to use their bootstraps regardless of the situation. His money tho.

I see lots of people say he stupid

But the things I seen people say he should do


Would have put him in the poor house shot and dead
