Jay Z says capitalist is a new ‘slur’ in rant about wealth in the US Sept 2, 2022

“All these lies that America told us our whole life and then when we start getting it, they try to lock us out of it,” he said. “They start inventing words like ‘capitalist.’ We’ve been called ‘n—ers’ and ‘monkeys’ and s–t. I don’t care what words y’all come up with. Y’all gotta come with stronger words.”

Y’all created a system that, you know, doesn’t include us. We said fine. We went our alternate route. We created this music. We did our thing, you know, we hustle, we f—ing killed ourselves to get to this space. And, you know, now it’s like, you know, you know, ‘Eat the rich,’ and, man, we’re not stopping.”

In addition to the $15 million, regular grants will be funded to the community based on 0.5 percent of the casino's profits, with an "overall $250 million community funding promise."

A community trust would be established to distribute the funds to various initiatives like after-school programs, senior support, childcare, and more.

It doesn’t help that he made an enemy of two of the worst hip hop fan bases online, Kanye & Drake

Don’t forget Nicki

True forgot about that with the Meg and superbowl stuff. He’s f***ed lol

Millenial Wayne fans too, they are mad ignorant

Not to mention Nas fans and Pac fans.
Also that paranoid friend when he smokes because he thinks the Roc is calling forth Satan

Don’t tell me you love me , big Sean

He will never lose , unfortunately

Cuz when he dies, this whole THING dies! And what are they going to say about him when he’s gone? Are they going to say he was a KIND man? He was a WISE man? He had plans? Bullshit, man!

Nigga don’t like the east coast and I’m fine with it.

Yeah but

I’ll never forget I was seeing a girl casually and i mentioned that i was a fan of Jay Z and she said that I’m the first person she’s ever met who listens to Jay Z

Niggas want someone to blame so instead of dealing with their own deficiencies they blame Jay Z

“Niggas couldn’t do nothing with me than put the devil on me, I would’ve preferred niggas to squeeze medal on me, rumors of Lucifer,
I don’t know who to trust, whole world want my Demise turn the music up”

More and more people seeing through his self-aggrandizing business gimmicks that he presents as gifts to the public

She keeps good company hope she cut you off immediately
