Someone in the comments section wrote "lol nah niggas think Jay-Z is Black God and every W for him is supposed to be a W for you. Tidal pays artist the most to this DAY. And the Square deal is just gonna create a platform like CashApp to pay artists. yall behind"

I wonder why Jay is selling off so many assets?

The rumor is that he’s preparing to buy an NFL team..

Isnt this a cold take? This was obvious with Kapernick. Jigga is a capitalist who happens to be black, off top.

Ion fuck with either of them, but Ak better be easy before Jigga come kick over his popsicle stand.

Read 40 Million dollar slaves. There is a section that addresses this very issue of leveraging blackness without redistributing wealth to the black masses.

Damn this the first time I ever agreed with Ak, but maybe he be on ABW cause we been saying this shit for years..

That's what Don King used to do.

He'd say, "Black people need to stick together" to get the boxer to sign with him. Then he'd rip the boxer off.

 

[aka_og]

his opinion changes if jay does business with him

This is what happens when you idolise and put people on a pedestal just because of celebrity. All i care about when it comes to Jay is his music. He doesn't owe me anything else.

Ak...... is... not wrong

Selling Tidal kinda destroys the black owned streaming site narrative

 

[Dwayne]

He’s wrong on on fronts

And AK is a culture vulture on all levels

Its not about Ak tho

Tidal is white owned again so he made a point

Jay Z is in a long history of "Black businessmen" who White businesssmen use to galvanize Black support via Black capitalist pandering for shit that White people don't give a fuck about, only to sell it back to White people once Black people make it popular and profitable. Diddy and 50 Cent do the same shit but not in such a political way.

Jay Z entire business accumen is based on using his individual success and fame to make shit popular via Black capitalism rhetoric.

If Jay Z just did shit like a normal businessman, instead of pandering and posturing that he's "down for the people, so buy my shit", he wouldn't have any success besides Rocawear.

 

[Disanthrope]

It would be nice to see a jay or russell simmons just hold on to a business for the culture instead of taking the cash every time

I was kinda shocked and disappointed when rus sold def jam to that jew vulture

I get the thrill of flipping money but damn

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

This is facts

 

[RozayTabernacle]

The rumor is that he’s preparing to buy an NFL team..

Hopefully he doesn't try to buy NBC

 

[darkboy301]

Are there any other black owned companies like Square that wanted to buy Tidal?

Is he supposed to keep a company if he continues to lose money on it?

All true.


Simply because he sold every business he ever had except Roc Nation.


Wouldn't be surprised if he eventually sells that too.
