And afterwards, when we begin getting in, they attempted to keep us out of it. They begin inventing words as you know, capitalist you know, that’s what things like. At the end of the day, you know, we’ve been called ‘n**ger’ and ‘monkeys’ and crap. I couldn’t care less; those words you all concoct. You all must think of more grounded words. Internet users were confused when they heard that the singer-entrepreneur, who is assessed to be valued at $1.3 billion, compared capitalist to the N-word. Many noticed that the Roc Nation founder also is a capitalist, considering that he has amassed distinction stacking a huge number of dollars.

Jay Z is so disappointing because he’s the he’s turned into the ppl that he hated nd doesn’t even see it. like u can blame his upbringing but there’s rlly a deeper moral issue when someone compares the word capitalist to nig*er.

The hip-bounce billionaire comments earned backlash from certain individuals who rolled their eyes at him for comparing being called capitalist with getting called a racial slur. Jay Z truly was on that Space crying about us calling him a capitalist (he is). Then attempted to say that calling Black rich people capitalists is like the n-word. LMAOOO wrote one individual. A few fans pointed out that Jay Z is legitimately being known as a capitalist since he entered a multiyear partnership with the NFL, which would without a doubt be adding more cash to the bank.
Jay Z just said y’all made up the word capitalist bec we are jealous of a Black man getting money 💀 Like sir, people are literally dying & he is really trying to play woe is me.

Jay-Z is a hardcore capitalist. And to be a successful capitalist as a back man in the white man's world- you have to be a "sellout."There's no way around it. Empathy and fairness can't survive the the onslaught of capitalist realism
