Could of.. should of…

He woulda smoked a billion dollars werfa rock

He saved himself from himself for the moment

X always said that he was "bad with money".

He literally would always say that he didn't give a f*ck about bread, so he spends it all.

So I don’t know if he even cared about business ventures like that.

There is no way this true. This is either total bullshyt, or being highly qualified in some kind of social media way where she is taking third hand conversations from 20 years ago, and saying well IF he had invested with Jay, and the terms were X=89, and then that is now worth XXX, then he would be a billionaire.

People just like that term, because it gets clicks.

Being "very close" to being a billionaire would mean like $800M

I think after his 1998-2000 run, he probably had a lot more bread than Jay-Z. He did more sales, movies, concerts. If Jay got to a billy, he could've if he had any saavy in him. But X don't care about money and zero discipline to invest it.

Right, 100%, but just people's insistence on this type of shameless phrasing and framing....

it would shock me if DMX made more than 20 million in those years. Even top selling rappers didn't make hundreds of millions or even tens of millions from album sales and touring.

Now way. DMX was still a signed artist to a label. Jay owned his own record label.

X himself said he didn't see no crazy money until movies.

That makes it even worse if he had it and passed with his kids getting 5K each

That’s wild if true

But this is for clicks

Plus a huge bulk of money Jay made was for writing for others and getting that publishing


Dame found out how much Jay made from space jam bugs bunny rap and was pissed

Hip hop has a very distorted view of wealth. So many people really have no clue how large the gap a million and a billion is. People throw out billionaire like it's common

Billion is the new million on social media

Nah Jay had a good deal with Def Jam and retained a lot of the money for album sales.
