@nels Your shade is misdirected. Jay-Z is a product of America.
Most of Jay's wealth comes from white people, not "needy black youth" -- they don't have any money to spend.
Why this activity interests people beyond a certain stage of development and age and always puzzled me. Gossip is for bored people without lives of their own, so they cast shade, judge, and hate on others -- a sad, pathetic form of amusement. Social media has exploited this base behavior for massive profits brining everyone's inner yenta to the fore. 😃
