My older brother is in the 7 figures and I don't ask him for shıt. Just the way I was raised.
Now if we go out as family, the bill is lightweight for him plus we go to the members only events outside of my tax bracket.

I would have at least put a g on it
I wouldn't ask for shyt but they can always ask me for shyt if they want. 7 figures and a billion is much different also, and i can always say no, sometimes i'll say yes a lot of times i'll say no, but i won't shame anyone for asking.

Fr lol. If it was my favorite then they could get it in full, if it’s not y favorite I might haggle lol
bruh I can imagine the shyt jay or rich celebs hear from family. "let me put you on bro...rent a spoons my g....rent a spoons "
I remember 50 cent said he got uncle he can't stand...he would only see him at family gatherings, never gave him shyt, and always ask for money.

Once again context is king. Is this the cousin that held me down in hard times, showed love when no one else did?
Or is this the dude that was always off in a corner somewhere laughing and giggling like “y’all see Shawn over there? he think he bout to be LL Cool J or something”

Thats the thing, he wasn't asking for a handout but actually had a plan. There was a Pac interview where he talked about success and he said people who get on should drop a rope over the side of the building to help their people up.
Sometimes that can look like $4800. Sometimes it can be listening and offering advice or contacts on how to make it happen... Thing is you don't know the context and situation but I still know I'd rather do push ups with Jadakiss over dinner with Jay Z because at least with my choice I could pitch the sitcom idea we all know needs to happen.
Yeah, I feel this.
When me and my college friends got together last year in Florida, my man Amin Elhassan came through and took care of the bill on a nice dinner we had. Of course he didn't have to do that shyt and none of our crew is broke, but we appreciated it. It wasn't on some "nikka YOU ON TV AND shyt, I KNOW YOU GOT IT!!" type steez.
bruh I'm stealing that from jay, that's my new shyt for people trying to hit me up "life don't work like that fam"

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.
