jay-z owns a piece of livenation = the company that produces everyone’s tours. plus he owns a piece of the nets. plus a piece of carol’s daughter. plus a piece of the Fela musical.

let’s not forget that 50 cashed out of vitamin water for $100 million a couple of years ago. he’s aight.

6 million in a year is karma?

ja rule is handwashing his cellmate’s boxers in the feds right now with lipstick on. and he’s still in the red to the IRS. that’s murder, dickhead.

Puffy got the right plan. His music may not be popping right now but he knows how to diversify and make that money another way. Gotta love that.
