“How Rick Ross’s Dinner with Jay-Z Led to More Money and Career Success”

Rick Ross has a different opinion on Jay-Z’s recent $500k or dinner offer. According to the MMG rapper, his personal experience with Jay-Z ended up netting him much more money than what was on the table.

Jay-Z dismissed the idea that a dinner could be more valuable than half a million dollars, but Rozay begs to differ.

Back in 2008, before the release of his “Trilla” album, Ross had a dinner with Jay-Z at Philippe Chow in NYC. During their meeting, the Roc Nation boss advised Ross to write songs that have an impact, rather than simply rapping over beats he liked.

Ross remembers how cutting his workload in half and following Jay-Z’s advice helped his stock rise. It just goes to show that working smarter, not harder, pays off.

Jay-Z even collaborated with Ross on the album, launching the famous “Maybach Music” series and propelling Ross’s career to another level.

Of course, it’s worth mentioning that Ross was already a talented artist before the dinner with Jay-Z. He understands why someone without that head start would choose the money instead.

So, the bottom line is, if you have real potential in the industry, follow Ross’s mentality and skip the $500k for a chance to sit at the table with the big dogs.
