By Karishma Rao Modified 03 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Jay Z trolled for comparing being called a "capitalist" to the N-word (Image via Getty Images) Jay Z was recently subjected to relentless criticism on Twitter, after he compared being called a capitalist to a racist slur. On Wednesday, August 31, the Empire State of Mind singer appeared on a Twitter Spaces chat session alongside Rob Markman and Ari Melber. During the 17-minute interview, Jay Z attempted to narrate a rag to riches story which took an unexpected turn. Rob Markman @RobMarkmanOk den74951638Ok den https://t.co/waMQkIldVm While speaking about bolstering fellow Black billionaire entertainers like Kanye West, Rihanna, and LeBron James, Jay Z emphasized that they were "not gonna stop." He then went on to add that society had tried to "lock" them out of the “American dream” and invented the word “capitalist” as they ascended towards success: "Before was the American dream, ‘Pull yourself by the bootstraps, and you can make yourself…you can make it in America,’ all these lies that America told us our whole life." What he said next earned him a lot of flak from netizens. The rapper compared being called a “capitalist” to racist slurs: "And then when we start getting in, they tried to lock us out of it. They start inventing words like you know, ‘capitalist,’ you know, things like that. I mean, you know, we’ve been called ‘n**ger’ and ‘monkeys’ and shit. I don’t care; those words y’all come up with. Y’all gotta come up with stronger words.” Internet users were confused when they heard that the singer-entrepreneur, who is estimated to be worth $1.3 billion, compared “capitalist” to the N-word. Many noted that the Roc Nation founder too is a capitalist, given that he has amassed fame stacking millions of dollars. Chelsea, duh.@charmdiddyYou make millions of dollars in America you’re a capitalist. Jay-Z too old to not know this, in the raps talking about buying paintings, properties and reselling them and making investments, this is literally what a capitalist does.51You make millions of dollars in America you’re a capitalist.

Some fans pointed out that Jay Z is rightfully being called a capitalist since he entered a multiyear partnership with the NFL, which would undoubtedly be adding more money to the bank. For those who are unaware, the NFL received massive backlash for their treatment of San Franciso 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick announced that he was effectively exiled from the league after he called attention to racial injustice and police brutality.
