Nah, Nas is partner in a venture capital firm and Lyft is in their portfolio. http://qbvp.com

King corny does it again. Shooters in the uber ain't even a remotely good or fly idea

Until the day you get shot by a nikka in one.

 

[BigIke]

Come on man. U know what these cats are thinking "I don't see Nas on the Forbes list so how can he be caking"

I was done with Forbes the year they had young Joc on the list making 10mil. That's when I figured the Forbes list for rappers is for entertainment purposes only

When they include the Rockefellers/Rothschilds and many more, then maybe i'll pay attention to that BULLshyt ass list.

You have to have investments in first place before you can speak on it, he dancing for Hennessy but we believing now he caking off Lyft?

Nas - the lyrically gifted, iconic rapper from Queens - has invested in over 40 startups in 2+ years, including Coinbase, Rap Genius, Vengo, Lyft, and Crowdtilt. The investments have been made through Queensbridge Venture Partners, the firm he founded and runs with his long-time manager, Anthony Saleh.

And this isn't a toes-in-the-water operation simply to add 'Angel' to his growing resume; Nas and Saleh have dedicated more than 50% of their overall portfolio to startup investing. That's going all in.

But the most appealing thing about "Nas the investor" is that his portfolio is as eclectic and wide-ranging as his lyrics. Yes, Rap Genius and BlackJet - which is Uber for private jets - make sense. But for every investment that overlaps with his career, there's a MATTERNET (drones), a mParticle (mobile data), a Lyft (ride sharing), or a Coinbase (bitcoin). In other words, Nas and Saleh aren't looking for the relevant investment; they're looking for the right one.

Obviously most of you have no idea how well Nas has done outside of music.
I notice there's always a backlash here against rappers making power moves in the finacial world. I wonder why?

 

[UpAndComing]

Silence.

That's what I need from you

Just how silent Kendrick "Welven" Lamar would be on that Taylor Swift video

"DEEZ NUTZZ!!!"

 

[Surreal]

Nas been rich as hell since he soldout in 96
Still my GOAT tho
