It’s not a good deal. The legendary rapper acknowledged the widely shared query on “CBS Mornings,” saying, “I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal.” Jay Z’s new source of income comes from attending dinner with others for $500,000, is this true?

If you had to choose, would you rather eat lunch with Jay-Z or take $500,000?

The rap legend addressed the trending subject that JAY-Z’s fans have been talking about a lot online during an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, and he ended the discussion with some wise words for business.

The 53-year-old JAY-Z stated, “You gotta take the money,” in a video that debuted only on PEOPLE. “What I’mma sаy?”

Speaking about the debate’s ethos, King, 68, noted that many people believe that the “wisdom” that the rapper of “99 Problems” could impart would enable them to earn more than $500,000.

But JAY-Z would still take the money if he had to make a decision. “Because the music contains all of that for just $10.99. It’s not a good deal. I wouldn’t urge you to make a poor bargain,” he said. “Take the $500,000, go purchаse some records, and enjoy the music.” It is all present.

It’s all there if you put it all together and pay close attention to the music to hear the words and the meaning. All of the things I predicted actually happened. “I’ve accomplished everything I stated I wаnted to do, and there’s the blueprint,” he continued, alluding to the nаme of his seminal album from 2001. “The blueprint — literally — to me and my life and my journey is there already.”

The origin of the widely posed question on the internet is unknown, but variations of it were seen on Instagram as early as 2017. One person questioned, “$10,000 in cash or 10minute dinner with Jay-Z?”
