Many reasons are behind why Jay Z deems himself as much more than a rapper. No doubt, he has made classic music, but Jay Z is not the typical rapper, he is an international businessman. Music ended up being the ultimate hustle for Jay Z.
Because of what music has done for him, Jay Z decided to do something big for music. This ended up being TIDAL, the business venture many wrote off. But, the service silently got 1 million subscribers and Jay Z decided to celebrate.
Bringing out many of music’s biggest names, it has become a topic of discussion how much money Jay Z made last week. The answer to that question is $1.5 million, but he did not pocket the money, instead donating it to charities that donated to organizations dealing with racial inequality, income, education, law enforcement and local people relations. All proceeds were matched by TIDAL, meaning $3 million was donated.
