Law 4: Always say less than necessary

LAW #7: GET OTHERS TO DO THE WORK FOR YOU but take all the credit

Jay z probably mastered this one
LAW #19: DO NOT OFFEND THE WRONG PERSON
Ever notice how many black celebs are always tapdancing around certain issues? well if they offend white mommy and daddy it could be over

Illuminati families
LAW #32: PLAY TO PEOPLE’S FANTASIES
Most celebrities a lot of times never talk about their significant others, they are always seen as sex symbols. even instathots who are married or have dudes rarely if ever post their dudes pics because thats how u keep simps coming back for more and paying you
LAW #34: BE ROYAL IN YOUR OWN FASHION – ACT LIKE A KING
Jay calls him Jayhova, beyonce queen b, claims his the best and some believe it just for the fact the nikka as said so many times
LAW #38: THINK AS YOU LIKE, BUT BEHAVE LIKE OTHERS
a lot of celebrities like saying f trump because its the right thing to say, since they dont want seem racist. but when u hear them speak long enough
the ism starts coming out, outwardly they say what its acceptable but inwardly
LAW #43: WORK ON THE HEART AND MIND OF OTHERS
again look at Obama
LAW #45: PREACH CHANGE BUT NEVER REFORM QUICKLY
