Jay-Z Was Asked The ‘$500K Or Dinner With Jay-Z?’ Question And His Answer Doesn’t Involve Food

by

Jay-Z hosts an annual Roc Nation Brunch, but he’d probably bypass his own star-studded soirée if given the option to deposit $500,000 into his already-overflowing bank account.

Hov sat down with Gayle King for the latest CBS Mornings, where King asked him to settle a years-long online debate with various mutations. “If you a had choice between getting paid $500,000 in cash or lunch with Jay-Z, which would you choose?” King asked.

Jay-Z barely needed two seconds to think before shrugging and saying, “You gotta take the money. What I’m gonna say?” King’s counterpoint was that wisdom garnered from Jay-Z during lunch would pay endless dividends, but Jay-Z wouldn’t be swayed. “You got all that in the music for $10.99. That’s a bad deal! I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal.”

He continued, “Take the $500,000, go buy some albums, and listen to the albums. It’s all there. If you piece it together and really listen to the music for the words, for what it is, it’s all there. Everything that I said was gonna happen, happened. Everything I said I wanted to do, I’ve done. There’s the blueprint. The blueprint — literally — to me and my life and my journey is there already.”

There you have it. While King got Jay-Z’s answer, an Instagram user named K Rich briefly bonded with Jay-Z over the question during last week’s Monday Night Football game between the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers. In the Instagram video, K Rich told Jay-Z he would “take that $500K!” Jay-Z walked over to fist-bump him and say, “Be good, man.”

Rich Paul Hints That He And Adele Are Headed Towards Engagement: “You Can Say Whatever You Want”

by

The top-flight sports agent, Rich Paul, is still going strong with superstar singer Adele. It was around two years ago that the two showed their interest in each other and they seem to be happier than ever. Just a few weeks ago, during one of the pop starlet’s performances in Las Vegas, a female fan wanted to propose to her. Unfortunately for her, she is apparently spoken for. Adele replied, “You can’t marry me. I’m straight, my love, and my husband’s here tonight.” This was a very hilarious but stunning response and it had fans speculating if the couple tied the knot.

Rich Paul is now egging this on even further after a recent interview with CBS Mornings. According to Billboard, the founder of Klutch Sports Group, joined the show to talk about a few topics. Paul was invited on because his new memoir, Lucky Me is out now. Amazon’s description of the book says, “[Paul] looks back with wit and insight, drawing out the lessons he learned at every stage—about business, people, and the values that lead to success. It’s the inspiring story of the luck that’s all around us, if we know where to look.” Apparently Paul knew where to look when it came to choosing his person.

Rich Paul Gushes About His “Wife?”

At the 6:35 mark in the video clip above, Rich talks about how happy he is with Adele. “She’s been great, I think she would agree that we’ve definitely helped each other. I’m in a good space, we’re in a good space,” he said. Gayle King also asked him if she should refer to Adele as “Mrs. Paul” going forward. He replied simply and vaguely, “you can say whatever you want.” This is certainly interesting to hear and we can only imagine that both of them have at least considered the thought of engagement. We continue to wish the couple success and love going forward.

What are your initial thoughts on Rich Paul’s statement with CBS Mornings on his relationship with Adele? Do you think they are bound for engagement sometime soon? Are they the most wholesome celebrity couple going right now? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

However, with an impressive catalog of songs to choose from, Usher says he’s having a hard time deciding which hits to include. “I definitely have a long list of people who I have collaborated with and also too, a long list of songs that means so much to people.” Usher told CBS Mornings. “So I’m trying to figure out how to entertain people and make certain they understand the legacy, enjoy the moment and make certain they have a show they will never forget.” An unforgettable night indeed. The “U Remind Me” singer is no stranger to performing and gracing the stage with his skills.

In fact, he’s been performing in Vegas during his inaugural residency for the last two years. Going viral and taking the internet by storm in different ways, Usher’s Las Vegas residency has brought forth plenty of memorable moments and topics of conversation. One memorable incident from this summer, which remained a hot topic for months, involved Keke Palmer’s attendance at the residency. During the Usher concert, a viral moment sparked controversy when Palmer’s then-boyfriend, Darius Jackson, publicly criticized her outfit on Twitter, deeming it inappropriate. Jackson’s tweet read, “It’s the outfit tho… you’re a mom.” In response to the backlash, he further defended his stance in a separate tweet, asserting that her outfit didn’t match his “standards and morals.” This incident generated significant discussions and debates throughout the year.
