Rick Ross is letting it be known why he would rather sit and have dinner with Jay z instead of receiving $500,000.
As we previously reported, Hov has finally addressed the longstanding debate about whether taking a dinner with him was more valuable than a half million dollars. “You’ve gotta take the money,” Jay told CBS News’ Gayle King as part of a interview done in promotion of his The Book of HOV exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library. “You’ve got all that in the music for $10.99. I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal. Like, take the $500,000, go buy some albums, and listen to the albums. It’s all there.”
He told King his music is the blueprint of his life. “Everything that I said was gonna happen, happened,” he said. “Everything that I said I wanted to do, I’ve done.”
Well Rick Ross on the other hand believes the best option would to be taking the dinner with Jay Z. The rapper shared a video to his Instagram where he detailed a story about how him and Jay Z went to dinner in 2008 and the knowledge he received helped take his career to the next level. “If you’re ready to digest the knowledge that he’s going to give you. From topic to topic, it’s priceless,” Ross shared.
Ross has always been open about his friendship with Jay Z, back in May while being a guest on Drink Champs he opened up about how when he was coming up he ran down on Jay backstage to play him his music.
“JAY-Z. The reason why I take my hat off to Hov. It was ‘Free Mason.’We was at [Madison Square Garden]. Hov was on tour. I told Hov I’m finna come to your tour and imma just kick it with you. He had no idea I had the production, the beat, the record, the idea. And so I went to the tour. We backstage. It may be 20 minutes before he go and perform. This the greatest n-gga in the game. This Rozay. I’m still halfway broke n-gga. I want it. I want that motivation.”
“So I went backstage, right before he went on stage. ‘Big homie let me play you this beat.’ I’m expecting him to tell me ‘Not right now. Not right now.’ And I tried him, straight up. So I play my verse and the beat from ‘Free Mason.’ He leaning up against the wall before he go on stage. And he just started rapping right there. And what he saying is pertaining to what we talking about. So Hov is a two percenter.”
