Jay-Z Owns $28 Million Rolls-Royce Boat Tail

by

As one of hip-hop’s billionaires, Jay-Z is known to live large and prosperously, and his latest car is no exception. Recently, footage surfaced online of the “99 Problems” MC’s $28 million Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, a sleek blue model that looks pristine in the highlight clip. Moreover, it’s just one of many luxury cars that Hov possesses, although he’s busy flexing other accomplishments. Of course, people made plenty of jokes about the car on social media, especially given its namesake. “For 28 mil that better fly, sail, and dive underwater,” one fan wrote on Instagram.

However, don’t let Jay’s massive success and pockets fool you. From what many artists indicate, he remained humble and down-to-earth as he became one of the richest music figures in the world. For example, Fridayy recently recalled how Jay-Z fought to keep him on DJ Khaled’s “GOD DID.” As he recounted the experience, he praised how “cool” Mr. Carter is despite his opulence, which usually drives artists to a tone-deaf mentality. For the New York native, though, it doesn’t seem to faze him.

Jay-Z’s $28 Million Rolls-Royce

“Jay-Z’s cooler than a lot of little n***as,” the singer remarked to Angela Yee on her Way Up podcast. “You know how little n***as be in the game on some cocky s**t? Jay-Z really like a cool n***a. When I’m next to him, I don’t feel like he a celebrity. [He comes across like] a regular person, saying regular jokes. I remember during the [Grammys] performance, we’re taking a picture and he’s like, ‘You know I fought for you right?’ I’m like, ‘What you mean?’

“He’s like, ‘They was trying to take you off the record,’” Fridayy continued. “Dead-a** serious. But Khaled been told me Jay-Z fought for you. But hearing it from him, he was like, ‘Bro, when I heard your voice it just sounded hungry.’ And then he gon’ tell me, ‘When you make it, don’t forget about me.’” As such, no Boat Tail or any amount of money could distract Hov from the artistry beneath- at least, in this case. After all, many still think he could do more, but that’s a debate for another time. Meanwhile, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jay-Z.

Eminem Rejected $8 Million Offer To Perform At World Cup

by

Slim Shady’s one of the most successful and profitable names in hip-hop, but even he missed out on some major bags sometimes. In a recent interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, 50 Cent revealed that Eminem rejected an $8 million offer to perform at last year’s World Cup. Moreover, the offer came after the two performed alongside Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Kendrick Lamar at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

According to Fif, organizers of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar reached out to his and Eminem’s teams to sign the on to perform.

“Because of the Super Bowl, I got an inquiry about the World Cup,” the Queens mogul stated. “They had a budget of $9 million for it. So they was gonna give— I would have took one, Big. Then the other eight would have been for Em.”

Meanwhile, 50 said that if anybody was interested in a one-and-done, they’d do “the biggest live sporting event in the world.” If the FIFA World Cup won’t cut it, what could?

Still, once they made the offer, 50 Cent called Em’s manager Paul Rosenberg to talk it over. Ultimately, they turned it down. While it seems likely, there’s no telling whether the news got directly to the “Lose Yourself” rapper.

“I called and spoke to Paul and everybody around him,” 50 said. “They was like, ‘He’s not gonna do it.’”

However, they didn’t show such hesitation when discussing a TV show adaptation of Eminem’s hit movie, 8 Mile. 

“I wanna bring — I’m gonna bring 8 Mile to television,” Fif stated. Also, he told Big Boy that the prospect is already “in motion.”

“It’s gonna be big,” he went on to state. “I’m working. I ain’t got no duds. I’m batting 10… I think it should be there for [Eminem’s] legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”
