He will if you come to him with a proposal outline and make it look professional and bring along business analytics of the industry you are getting in.

The problem with avg negro is...they ain't got no vision...most muthafukkas want a phat ass crib, big booty bytch...nice car...big rims..but that ls the short cheese.

I think when you're a billionaire who spends his money on all kinds of dumb shyt, it's nice to help family. But ultimately it's your money.
Yep but if you gotta solid business plan and can back it up...he prolly would cough up some cash. Problem is most folk don't have a business or business plan or the EIN or tax number to even begin to have a business plan.

I get it.

Somebody like Jay Z could easily handle a $5000 loss, but for somebody like a ball player, an up-and-coming actor, a businessman, or even a lottery winner, throwing money away like that will leave you broke fast. I had a cousin who used to play in the NBA, and he lost a lot of money on investments that didn't go anywhere.

And in Jay Z's example, the cousin isn't asking for it because they lost their job and they're struggling to pay their rent. They're asking for it as a business investment. If you're asking somebody for $5K as a business investment you better have a damn good sales pitch and a plan to turn a profit.

Who's your cousin that played in the NBA?

Too much pride to give his cousin $4800 but not enough to let white billionaires use him to exploit his own people :russell:

From Roger Gooddell to Jack Dorsey he’s never met a wealthy white man he won’t shill for

I would have filled out a application and get on the payroll too...


Jay would be impressed
Granted Mr Carter's lawn is probably somewhere in the ballpark of like 32K sq ft, so a four figure lawn bill, even high four figure pushing 5, is really not that unreasonable. Especially if we family. :ehh:

Some of you would go broke fast as fukk if you ever came into some money.

I wouldn't aIctually. I'd keep matters simple and set up a trust for my family. My parents would be set up as administrators so that I wouldn't have to make the decision on these things.

I'd like to think that if I was a billionaire my family wouldn't have to ask me for money because things are already setup. If they did ask me, the problem would be them being irresponsible or reckless not them asking for what amounts to peanuts.

This. Jay z got fukk you money several times over. And he just bought one of the most expensive homes in the state. Even if his cousin is foofoo, I’m still looking at jay sideways. But I would hate for family to constantly be asking me for money so I would do the same set up a trust and let somebody else handle it.
