The rapper has settled a debate on social media about whether it would be better to get $500,000 or have dinner with him during an interview with Gayle King on 'CBS Mornings.'

Jay-Z has finally weighed in on the debate making its way around social media that asks fans if they would rather have $500,000 or dinner with the rapper.

Those taking the position of dinner in lieu of half a mil argue that the wisdom the first hip-hop billionaire would impart over the course of a meal would be far more valuable in the long run than a one-time payment.


While appearing on CBS Mornings, host Gayle King asked the Roc Nation founder his thoughts on that argument:

"I'd love to hear what you think about this: If you had a choice between getting paid $500,000 in cash or lunch with Jay-Z, which would you choose you."

And, well, Jay-Z said you should take the money, adding that you can hear everything he has to say by listening to his music, specifically his Blueprint album.

“You gotta take the money."
“I mean, what am I gonna say? Everything that I’m gonna say — you got all that in the music, what, for $10.99? That’s a bad deal. I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal.”
“Everything that I said was going to happen happened."
“Everything that I said I wanted to do, I’ve done. And there’s ‘The Blueprint’ — the blueprint, literally — to me and my life and my journey is there already.”

While some viewers of the interview accepted the rapper's answer as the end of the debate...


 
 


 

... others still felt a meal and a conversation with the mogul would be far superior.


 


Someone with experience chimed in... and said he would take the dinner.

Rapper Rick Ross shared in an Instagram story about how a 2008 lunch with Jay-Z inspired a shift in his process.

 

But those of us without Ross' talent would be happy to take the cash!

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
