The Male rappers telling u to kill, rob, scam, pop perks, spend all ur money.
The Female artists telling u to cheat, prostitute, not need a man, fuck his best friend.
Loll the world is cooked!
Lol hiring youth is real cool and sounds good on paper..
Till they messaging you this 10 minutes before shift:
“Can’t come in today bro, I was at a party lastnight. Can I just come tomorrow?”
Lol smh
I don’t “support” my friends and I look for no “support” in business. If my business can only survive from support, I shouldn’t be in business. Support might actually hurt you more than help.. if my mans music trash, and I’m posting to “support”, he gonna keep making trash. Cont
Tesla spent $0 on ads in 2020.. yet my 12 year old niece says
“thats a nice Tesla” when she sees one on the road.
Word of mouth marketing (in some capacity) is still the winner!
FYI: R&B Kitchen also spent $0 on ads in 2020.. but gained 12K followers! 500,000+ organic reach

-Bank: “Thank you sir, have a great day”
*Withdrawal $10,000 from the bank*
-Bank: “What is the withdrawal for today? We’ll also need a piece of ID and proof of income. It also might take 3-5 business days.”

She destroyed me.
Didn't stand a chance.
Youngin asked me to borrow $40 (lol he wanted to get some food or something)
Usually he just asks if he can hold something.. this time he used the word borrow.
So I agreed and asked when I could expect repayment.. he said Friday (today)
He called me bright and early (cont)
Yep! The first blacks to ever touch Canada. As early as 1604!
Freed Jamaican slaves a.k.a maroons.. Freed American slaves, escaped American slaves. Nova Scotia black history one of the most unique stories in North America.
I can rock w/ quarantine life till January 2021 tbh.. I ain’t stack it up like this in a min.. Business booming, clubs and restaurants closed (my two highest non essential expenses), can wear the same fit everyday (no clothes/shoes buying)!
#AllMoneyIn
My youngins hollered at me to meet w/ them to help bring to life a business idea they had (unprompted)..
Proud moment! Lol they might be paying attention and listening to the shit we spew at em on the daily.
Per reliable source: Nevell Provo has received his release from Loyola University Maryland. Shifty floor general, with unlimited range. Eligible to play right away. Contact his agent (Nevell Provo)!
Lol I’m tired of seeing this. The math is simple, viewers=$. Ppl not watching the WNBA. It’s nothing to do with women. Serena Williams earned $84million in her career, more than 99% of male tennis athletes. (Lol its all love Female hoopers)
WNBA rookie A’ja Wilson took to Twitter to advocate for better pay for women in professional sports. "Women work just as hard as men, yet there is no concrete reason they are paid just a fraction for their work."

HC Jonah Taussig, D1 transfer guard Nevell Provo broke his hand and will be out until after the Christmas break.
That’s why ya can’t get caught in the hype.. I don’t spend no time signing petitions, hashtagging, protesting (all for the moment)
We building Black businesses, hiring black communities, empowering black youth, black $.
That’s BlackLivesMatter for me, real change!
Today asking for me to send him my Etransfer so he can send the repayment.
I said I’ll send when I leave the gym ( I didn’t)..
So he messages me again this evening asking for Etransfer again to send.
Lol he 14.. grown men run from u when it’s time to repay.
Hes hunting me!
Fall in love with the game and the process, the 💰 will follow.
Lotta ppl get caught up on the destination and end result. They tend to skip steps when their only focus is the finish line.
You gonna spend a lot more time than you think in the process, so you gotta love it!
Lol how does it feel to be from Black Nova Scotia but not from North Preston?
North Preston is to Black Nova Scotia what Hip Hop is to Music..
We the culture!
Great meeting and chatting with Mme

This what I’m talking about when I bring up building black business, empowering black communities through $ as opposed to the matching, hashtagging, and pleading for BlackLives to matter..
In a capitalist world, power comes from capital!
Hit it on the head.. Basketball has become a Zero-Sum game. NBA or Fail, and the issue is only 60 spots or so open up each year.
“Ball is life” one of the worst phrases we were ever taught.
I see guys 30 years old and still can’t create an identity outside of being a baller!
Nike amazing marketers man.. been seeing a lot of people, using the Nike Run Club app.. I’m like: “shit I gotta start running, and use this app looks cool”..
Use the app, it’s amazing.. falling in love with running..
Guess what I’m buying right now.. pair of Nike Shoes!
A harsh lesson having to learn today..
Help ppl when they’re down and crying for help!
Gotta take mental health serious.. and we can’t be so caught up in our own worlds, and shallowness. That we can’t help someone fighting for their life.
Writing ppl off as crazy is not it

I’ve learn a lot in this new position of life.. lot of myths have been debunked for me.. ton of learning in leadership!
1. Bosses(real bosses) don’t call themselves Boss
2. Leaders must be willing to get their hands dirty.
3. Empower people if you want the most out of them!
Lolol ppl at the bottom love to put others at the bottom down so they feel better about themselves. Lol fighting for least brokest..
•40% of Canadians got the CERB, lol not just the hood
•Lol it was created for ppl to get it and spend it. Keep the economy afloat
I find it hilarious that people are worried about others getting CERB payments... like why are you worried about the next persons pocket & what they’re doing to get through a pandemic? 🤦🏻♀️ like these are things we worried about? really
Lolol if u want ngas to believe something. Just say Lauryn, Tupac, Nipsey, or Kobe said it.. put quotations marks and add emojis. 😂I put that post on my snap, and ppl sending “💯” emojis, screenshotting and reposting.

Positive funding. We don’t want your funding for police stations, or “gang” prevention tasks force.. this type of funding prevents all the other stuff.
