Are yall missing the part about the price getting increased by 3mil? If CK had 10 and they want 13 he's put in a tough spot. He could have called Jay and said it's 13 but I think Jay would've said to turn it down and still said "make it make sense."

The real issue is Jay never genuinely wanted to help him anyway, he felt pressured to do it. Jay got the out he was looking for. He can say, "I tried to help him but his pride got in the way."

Really breh? Do you think it's ever easy to come up off $10 mil all feelings aside? Dudes really got a romantic view on life.

:dead:

so offering to put someone you knew like 30 years ago in charge of a 10,000,000$ dollar project aint helping them? Plus, it's not like Jay said he couldn't call him again....

He said Jay got more money than him but dont have more of what matters. Like what? Hood props? Which will fade away as people die out and new more aggressive dope dealers come out? Plus there is no honor in being known as a dope dealer. We as a blk community need to hop off of that. In a few years this calvin klein nikka will just be another :flabbynsick: in oudated clothing holding on to the past
Absolutely.

I took it a different way. I see it as jay gave this clown a simple task to do and free money and he still failed to get the job done. Jay dont care about the details of he deal and didnt have time to hold dudes hand. If they wanted 13 million then CK should have came up with a different business proposal for jay within the 10 million budget. Thats all jay was sayin. He wasnt trying to be dudes friend.. he was just looking out for him cause he felt he owed him that.

thats exactly how I saw it...... his homie came home and he didnt want him to fall into a Supreme type situation (which is why Supremes ass is in jail right now).......Im pretty sure Jay knew feds would be watching
he tells Klein hes gonna bankroll whatever he business idea Klein has to the tune of $10 million and the dude develops feelings he felt he wasnt spoken to in the right kind of way....

sometimes its like you cant help people I swear....

Pride is a mothefukker and Klein is short sighted as well.
Take the blow to the ego (which wasn't really anything anyway), come up with a diff proposal or biz develop opportunity, get your money up with Jay's seed investment, and if you really felt some type of way about it, do something about it when you're sitting on multimillions.

Even in today's inflated VC world, 10 mil investment is fukking massive. That''s round A without any track record. A $10mil round A funding will get you in WSJ, FT, and TechCrunch.
He's supposed to be a legendary hustler and Jay fronted you with fukking 10 mil - you gotta find a way to flip that. Fukk it buy some burger franchises or whatever at least. He might be a "proud, stand-up guy" but he's still a dumbass.

I have my own business and I'll be damned if I let go of $10 mil funding because of a simple comment.

"Hey man, remember when we were drug dealers in the 80s? Yeah I know I've been gone for 14 years and you're now doing legitimate business at a really high level but...I'd really like it if you treated me like I'm in charge."

:sas2:

:sas1:

"Hello?....Hello?....this nikka's phone must be cut off or something...."

:laff: pretty much. I wish somebody offered me a chance at a $10 million budget and all I had to do was "make sure it makes sense".

If Klein didn't like the way he talked to him, if he was a real hustler, he'd just do what he has to come up for a few years bank a few mill and cut ties with him when he was straight and go off on his own. Im sure Jay would have had no problems with that and Klein wouldn't be on thisis50 rocking Tommy gear promoting tell-all books. But like you guys said pride is a motherfukker
