Jay-Z has finally weighed in on the viral meme that asks people whether they would rather have dinner with him or receive $500,000 in cash.In a recent interview with Gayle King on CBS, the hip-hop mogul said that he would advise anyone to take the money, as he has already shared his wisdom and secrets in his music.“You gotta take the money,” Jay-Z said, adding, “You got all that in the music for $10.99 – that’s a bad deal. I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal.
Take the $500,000, go buy some albums and listen to the albums. It’s all there.”“If you piece it together and really listen to the music for the words, for what it is, it’s all there,” the rapper explained.
“Everything I said was going to happen happened, everything I said I wanted to do I’ve done. There’s the blueprint – literally, the blueprint to me and my life and my journey is there already.”The meme, which has been circulating on social media for years, poses a hypothetical scenario where someone has to choose between having a meal and a business meeting with Jay-Z, or getting half a million dollars.The rap mogul recently revealed that Hype Williams once quoted him $1.8million (£1.4million) to direct a music video for their collaboration for the 1997 song ‘(Always Be My) Sunshine’.
According to Jay-Z, Williams had a grand vision for the music video, which involved elephants and a whole circus.However, Jay-Z was not expecting Williams to ask for such a large sum, revealing that he was initially infuriated by the figure. “I was like, ‘Hype, come on, bro.’ Like I got mad at him,” said the rapper.
