You give them 4800 and they spend it, they're gonna come back for another 4800

For a regular wage dude that's doing ok 50 is my limit, and now only once. You get no more from me.

Breh said he would flip it into 2mill :laff: , it's like dudes talking about how they can bag Rihanna if they had the chance but yet struggle with the 5/10 at Target.

This reminds me of the ESPN 30 for 30 episode "Broke" and I think it was Jalen Rose during an interview said what they learned on their second contract is that they learned to say "no"

It's great that you want to help people out, but everyone always has a dream, plan, etc. and it's wild doubtful that their plans come to fruition. :manny:

Charity starts at home. The next evening Jay-Z went out to eat and left a $4800 tip to a waitress and felt good about himself afterward. If I got it, I'm giving it to family. I don't judge what they do with it, but I do let them know I'm no ATM machine. They get what they get, then they have to keep it pushing. I am in no way ignorant of the fact that a stranger is just as likely to smoke, gamble, or frivolously spend, my monetary gift as much as any low life family member.

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.

Interesting that many you think that not giving $4800 to that cousin that thought he was going to make $2million off of it is a bad idea.

Also interesting that most of the "if I was a billionaire/millionaire" types are never ever close to being any of those two. "If I was the starting Quarterback I would've" looking ass nyggas LOL

If you are over 25 you are an idiot.

If not, let me explain:

Once you start making hundreds of thousands or more, you are RICH to someone in your family. Go pro, became JayZ or Lil Baby, or Elon, than you are rich to EVERYONE you meet, family or not.

ANYONE who comes to you with an opportunity that sounds hella stupid is getting scammed. So you minds well give the $4800 to the person your cousin is going to give it to to "make $2million" because once you are in the money rooms, you realize that no one in that room made $$ from TheColi threads on buying AMC stock :francis:

And, like others have said, he didnt say "please help me Im going to get evicted", he said "please help I have a great idea" - and yes, any normal dude would say "keep your idea fam, you better off doing something else".

I would wonder if Jay-Z or Kevin Hart cousins asked to intern or for an open position at one of their many businesses, would they skip the line over thousands of applicants (barring they were addicted to drugs or a super failure or something)

I saw comments saying "this is why black people cant get by" - no the hell it aint. The opposite is why black people go broke.

Watch the video of the white athletes in the locker room with the black athletes (NFL) and they white guys were AMAZED that the black players bought their parents a home with their checks, and were like "I would never buy my parents a home, they would never even ask for that"...

Now, I understand the dynamics of where we come from, but stop acting like other races "give away money" for stupid ass ideas

I agree with you in a sense here. I give money to homeless people and what not. For a while I stopped because I was on some they bout to smoke or drink it up shyt. Then it occurred to me...maybe maybe not, but I give out of pure intentions and I can't control people so don't worry about that part.

That is why the idiots, who tried to sound smart, that seriously said dinner with Jay is worth more than $50K are hilarious.

He is literally not trying to hear it from his own family, what makes these internet losers think Jay will listen to their "Million Dollar Ideas" over dinner :russ:
My brother …….did you think the dinner was for you to beg for money from jay z? :heh:

No one is entitled to anyone else's money, I don't care what relation you have to the person. As far as I'm concerned depending on the situation ANYONE can get a hell no from me regarding money.

Jay and Bey ALREADY take care of a lot of ppl, have brought friends and family along as well as employ more than a gaggle of ppl including family. Jay can say no to whoever he wants.
