Would it be smarter to take $500,000 in cash or share a meal with JAY-Z? The rapper and business mogul himself weighs in on the longstanding online debate in a two-part interview with Gayle King, airing later this week on "CBS Mornings."
"You've gotta take the money," JAY-Z said, noting that all the wisdom anyone might glean from talking to him over lunch is already available in his lyrics. "You've got all that in the music for $10.99."

Imagine getting called out by the same person you simped so hard for.

Nice.

for real.

if there was some secret way to get super rich, and he had access to it, it's not like he's going to reveal it to you over a dinner.

Jay-Z's doing CE polls now lol

Do people think JZ's a fucking genie or something? There's nothing he can say that'll get you that kind of money except "Here's a check for $500K".

I remember when the question trended. People (blue checkmarks) were legit saying the dinner would be more valuable because of the business insight he would provide.

I ALWAYS thought the dinner choice was a stupid choice. If you pick that, you already lost and don't have what it takes to be rich.

I gotta do the ackshuwalee thing here and say getting in good enough with rich people can and has gotten some nepo runoff.

The guy is correct. Take the damn money.

Rich and wealthy people wont hand out their connections to just anybody. You might as well fill your bank account.

More importantly in this case he can't give you talent.

Maybe if you have talent and play a track for him he could hook you up. Otherwise you're just some clown who got to eat lunch with him.

The only way lunch with Jay Z would be a good choice is if you robbed him afterwards

take the money and invest in real estate or something. whatever brings me more money...

Getting rich, at least like Jay-Z, is more about who you know, and not what you know.

Of course you still got to do the work. In that regard Jay-Z's right in that you should take the money.

you can't invest shit worth anything in real estate for 500k. What you gonna do flip one house at a time? lol

He's not gonna invite you to the Illuminati first day.

Didnt he already say that when this all became a thing a couple years ago?

And yah, youd either have to be incredibly silly or incredibly rich to pass up the money. Unless he signs you to a deal theres nothing youre gaining from a meal with him. Or really any celebrity.

Cant imagine throwing 500k away just to brag that they had lunch with Jay-Z. It takes a major simp to do that. Just take the money.

Rick Ross says to go with the meal with Jay, but in his case, he was already making a lot of money when he got the opportunity:
