For years, people have asked themselves if they’d rather receive half a million dollars or dinner with Jay-Z, with the answer obviously being dinner with Jay-Z.
What is the point of having $500K without Jay telling you how to properly spend and invest it?
One dinner with Jay-Z and he’ll give you all the game you need.
Sure, there’s like a 99% chance he spends that dinner showing you random photos of his children off his iPhone screen he’s holding up across the table but like, maybe he’ll teach you, step-by-step, how to build a music empire.
Dinner with Jay-Z is invaluable.
Now, there may be some news this week that might make a few beta males change their minds.
In a civil lawsuit filed Sunday, Jay-Z is being accused of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl alongside P Diddy at a 2000 party.
According to the Buzbee lawsuit filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan, the plaintiff went to Radio City Music Hall to try to gain entrance to the award show being held there or to attend an after-party. She said in the suit that she approached several limousine drivers parked near the venue, and that a driver for Mr. Combs agreed to take her to an after-party, which she described as having taken place at a “large white residence with a gated U-shaped driveway.”
The suit said that after the drink she was given made her feel woozy, she went to lie down in an empty bedroom, where it said Mr. Combs, Jay-Z and an unidentified female celebrity entered.
The lawsuit suit said the plaintiff was held down by Jay-Z as he raped her, but that while Mr. Combs was assaulting her, she began hitting him in the neck and managed to escape the party. The suit said she ran to a gas station, where her father picked her up. (NYT)
Yes, that looks bad.
But Jay-Z had an immediate response prepared within minutes of this news breaking.

You can say it looks sketchy that Jay and his team had a press release ready to go if/when the 13-year-old girl rape story came out but I imagine he, just like me, was refreshing his phone all night anticipating the Juan Soto news so he instantly dropped this statement because he happened to already be online.
This is just that hustler mentality I’m talking about.
This is what me and Jay alphas.
It’s why you take the dinner over the $500K.
Stay ready, never got to get ready.
Jay-Z probably has a folder full of statements ready to release just in case a lawyer like Tony Buzbee attempts to extort him or use his name to drum up media attention around their case.
See, when you’re as successful and cool as Hov, the haters come out to bring you down.
All he’s trying to do is teach the youth how to invest in internet meme coins and email artists’ agents asking if they’re interested in the Super Bowl and they’re tearing him down. It’s truly disgusting the way we treat our legends.
In 2000, 30-year-old Jay-Z could have any girl he wanted.
My man wasn’t interested in teenage girls.
2000 was actually the year he met 18-year-old Beyonce.
Oh.
I’m still taking Dinner with Jay-Z but I’m not going to the after party.
