Jay-Z aka Mr. Carter: “Size Doesn’t Matter”
Jay-Z has had quite a bit of criticism come his way for saying he is co-owner of the Brooklyn Nets, when in fact, he only owns a small fraction. In answer to the criticism, Jay-Z said: Size doesn’t matter.
The rapper pushed back at his critics while performing at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn New York where he’s performed every night since Saturday. Speaking to his audience, he said,
“It doesn’t matter what percentage. The story is that a black kid from a single parent house made it from [the Marcy Projects] from about six minutes away from here. So the fact that I have any ownership in this franchise is f*****g amazing. The fact that I have any ownership in this venue is f*****g amazing. Don’t let them diminish your accomplishment or dim your shine. It’s f*****g amazing.”

Obviously, the man knows how to read and write clearly in order for him to sign his contracts and business deals…and remember, 10% of a billion is a lot people…

Size matters if it is your wallet. Is it true he walked out on a $4,000 bill in a restaurant owned by the Scotto family in Manhattan recently? Word is he ”didn’t have his wallet“ If true he needs to make good for the little people who work hard

Real Talk, Most people who got something to say about Jay are flat out haters! The Dudes A Hustler not a freakin Role Model! Jesus is a role model, Jay found his lane and drives the h**l out of it! People need to stop lookin for some human to raise their kids& lead em to God for a suitable role model. I always hear they don’t do this & that for the people! Well what the h**l did the people do when you hungry & start hustling to feed you & yours? Its just so happened the cat was good @ it! Flipped it & now owns whatever percent of a NBA team! So everybody needs to quit hating on Jay & his wife & either hustle harder or shut the eff up.
