Would it be smarter to take $500,000 in cash or share a meal with JAY-Z? This question has been a hot topic among fans on social media, and now the rapper himself has weighed in on the debate.
In a rare two-part interview with CBS anchor Gayle King, the Roc Nation boss said without hesitation, "You've gotta take the money." He went on to explain that all the advice you might seek from dinner with him is already in the lyrics of his music. "You've got all that in the music for $10.99," he said. "It's all there. If you piece it together and really listen to the music for the words, well, what it is, it's all there."
Jay-Z then offered King an exclusive tour of the "Book of HOV" exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library. The exhibit celebrates the billionaire's body of work, including his original master recordings and business ventures. He also discussed his efforts towards criminal justice reform.
The full interview will air on CBS on October 26th and 27th. During the interview, Jay-Z called his music the “blueprint to his life.” He believes all the advice one could ever need is in the lyrics of his music, and that you can't put a price on that kind of insight.
A fan even approached Jay-Z and told him that he would take the money but still respects him. “Hey Hov, I'm taking that $500K,” the fan said. “I'm not taking that dinner; I'm taking that $500K, you feel me? It's love, though.”
It's clear that fans all around the world revere Jay-Z and appreciate his contributions to the music industry. Whether you would take the money or opt for dinner with the artist, it's undeniable that his music has made an impact.
