Jay- Z Refused $100K Payment

Jay-Z had once refused compensation for his appearance on a record by Silkk the Shocker during the late ’90s.

Silkk, recently told  Art of Dialogue revealing that he (Jay-Z) turned down the $100,000 he attempted to give him (Jay-Z) for hopping on his 1999 song “You Know What We Bout.

Sillk said he was fortunate to have worked with Jay-Z “He won’t do it for anybody, though; he won’t even do music for anybody. What I came to learn was that it’s bigger than [money] for him,” he said. “To me, that’s consistent with [where he is] today — if you look at him, it’s not a fluke that he’s successful.”
