“Moreover, regardless of who the actual billionaires are, Jay wants everyone within the culture, or black people in general, to succeed in their lives.” “Recalling the aforementioned race to become hip hop’s first billionaire he’s focusing more on the aspect of two black billionaires him alongside fellow businessman Diddy.” ‘Specially if they’re from the same hue as you” “What’s better than one billionaire?
