He left out the part about letting LA Reid and Clive Davis, uh, use him for their personal enjoyment
Didn't Puff go to private school? Wasn't his pop some big hustler in Harlem back in the day?
The problem with wealth once you've had it for so long is you become a little to self-righteous, delusional, and start believing your own bullshyt a little too much.
Hard work is a definitely a component; nikkas not just sitting on generational wealth like the Victorian era and doing nothing all day but eating figs and writing poetry; you definitely have to put in work, but it's a system in place here in the US to help you maintain and generate more wealth once you hit a certain dollar amount. Those doors aren't open to people who simply work hard.
High school dropout, did over a year in jail, I'm a millionaire... I actually think anyone can do it if you make it your goal. The problem is people just sit around buying shyt they shouldn't be buying, trying to keep up with everyone else instead of creating their own lane.
Anyone can...not everyone can. The very nature of money and more importantly "value" is NOT everyone can can create value and generate wealth.
For the record, I don't exactly disagree with your post, but it's WILD disingenuous if you think this 70 year old Fred Sanford or Diddy's path to wealth is attainable by everyone.
And if the point of your post is anyone not everyone, I don't know why you quoted me. It's a centuries old pipe dream to say to the poor, you can be just like me...if you work hard enough. It's a placation to keep the poor from inevitably robbing their asses.

I was a janitor at 18 and giving effort was the dumbest shyt I ever did. They would just give me more work and even somehow cut my hours while giving me an extra day.![]()
