The GOAT Hov influence too fukking powerful
Jay Z big ups Deutsche Bank—for hiding his drug money
Jay Z big ups Deutsche Bank—for hiding his drug money
Fresh from
being rebuked by his wife Beyoncé in song, rapper Jay Z is back with a new verse on a Pusha T song, “
Drug Dealers Anonymous.”
The song samples
The Blaze hostTomi Lahren, who criticized the choice of Beyoncé as Super Bowl halftime performer by lambasting her and her husband: “Your husband was drug dealer! For 14 years, he sold crack cocaine!” Indeed he did! And Jay Z treats the jab as an excuse to remind everyone of how good he was at it. A
couple of lines are as follows:
I’m getting ghost, I’m hearing noises
I think it’s the boys, but I been banking at Deutsche
The “boys” are the IRS or the FBI (or both) and the shout-out for helping him evade said boys is to Germany’s Deutsche Bank. (Which Jay Z pronounces more like “Doych.”) Jay Z’s accountant receives similar praise in the verse, but remains anonymous. The rapper’s number cruncher deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his “hula-hooping through loopholes, working around shyt.”
At least we now know where Jay Z (net worth:
$610 million) does his private wealth management. Or do we? A source familiar with the situation told Quartz that the rapper is not actually a client of Deutsche at all. (Still, great rhyme.)
In any event, Deutsche won’t be happy with the association. Late last year, the
troubled bank paid a fine of $258 million for providing financial services to
enemies of the US government, just one of many legal missteps that cost it
more than $5 billion in fines during 2015. It has also been criticized for its offshore banking practices, as featured in the
Panama Papers.
