In a recent revelation by DDG, the Michigan rapper shared insights bestowed upon him by rap mogul JAY-Z during a casual encounter at a Hollywood event.
DDG’s encounter sparked a wave of amusement among JAY-Z fans, who amusingly weighed the worth of a hefty $500,000 over a sit-down dinner with the iconic artist.
During an interview with Hollywood Unlocked, DDG recounted his intermittent conversations with the Roc Nation magnate, clarifying that while they don’t engage in frequent communication, their occasional exchanges have been enlightening.
DDG recalled seeking artistic guidance from JAY-Z during a birthday celebration, prompting the rap legend to offer a metaphorical gem.
“When I do see him, I try to ask him for a little bit of game, a little bit of advice,” DDG shared. “I asked him at the birthday party, I was like, ‘What advice could you give me as an artist?’ And he gave me like an analogy, he was like, ‘If people go to a Chinese restaurant, they expect Chinese food. So give the people what they came for.'”
The response from fans was swift and humorous, as many couldn’t resist poking fun at the simplicity of the advice.
Drawing parallels to the ongoing online debate of “dinner with JAY-Z or $500K?” fans jokingly suggested that DDG might have received similar counsel from a fortune cookie or even from them for a fraction of the cost.
One fan quipped, “He coulda literally gotten that from a fortune cookie AT the Chinese store.” Another playfully remarked, “He told you some cat in the hat sh*t! And you take it and ran with it!?” while another jokingly boasted, “I coulda told him ‘give the people what they want’ for 500k.”
In essence, while DDG’s encounter with JAY-Z may not have yielded groundbreaking advice, it certainly sparked a lighthearted discussion among fans, adding a touch of humor to the age-old debate of valuable experiences versus monetary gains.
