No women in the room?

Why does a woman need to be there?

Yeah, why looking for a woman there? And I will say, why even look for one of them there? I was recently in the mid east and boy oh boy, I was getting info from the locals because I was asking why all the markets and stores are only showing men at work. The majority of women are not running these business, but home with the kids are making money off of crafts. It was interesting culturally and religiously.

1:23pm Is Probably Just Trying 2 Bring Attention to The Backwardness of Some Arab/Muslim Cultures & Traditions, As They Oftentimes(by law/decree) Deny Women Their GOD Given Rights.

Poor Beyonce
Nobody wants anything from Jay
The only thing that brings value to him
Is his affiliation with Beyonce :(

Arabs are known to dislike Blacks because they were slave traders and still look down on people with darker skin so Jay is desperate to go to the middle east for support.

NFL - Theres innuendo that his relationship with them is ending. My understanding is that he has been put on notice. The middle east has been investing very heavily recently ( in the past 2 years) in Boxing matches featuring black boxers. Boxing has been increasingly blending in hip hop culture & performance to events. Do you see Carter & Companies angle ?

Reportedly its alleged Him & Bey have massive debt, outrageously bloated monthly expenses, a carry over from when the music business was a gold mine for them.

Those days are sadly long gone, that game has dried up.Music sales are below the toilet. Further its speculated Live Nation takes 95% of the " record breaking " touring Millions you read about and when your in the hole owing them, plus massive brand damage & legal debt, they will need money mega fast, things are bursting at the seams for alot of artist.

These types of scenarios are common in " black entertainment" tethered to bad contracts from their early days.

Be on the look out for Mr Carter and Blu to drop music projects tied to the promotion of a product , or brand that worked out a sponsorship deal to propel sales of the sponsor and the music at the same time. They are debuting the golden child, bets are on that she can rescue the brand and resurrect a bold new era of the Bey Hive 2.0 or should I say - The Blu Hive..... Thoughts?...

I’d rather he’d deal with them than with our dear leader.

Yes, it is noticeable that there’s no women in the room. You can thank Affirmative Action for that kind of thinking. YT women benefitted most from Affirmative Action and it shows in how we now presume there should always be women in rooms of power.

@5:13pm-
Sounds very plausible
From what you just said
I wouldnt be surprised at this point if
He settles and acknowledge and
Take that dna test
For his "alleged" son
To rebrand
It would certainly help his image
At this point and bring his sales up
(Whatever he is selling)
I really like Blue Ivy and how intelligent
They are raising her
And she would have the beyhive to support her
But she dont have the "it"factor like Bey
North West would be her competition
Poor North and Blue didnt "allegedly"
Sign up for fame
What a great responsibility
He

Whatever. My comment has to meet your approval so does that mean I have to say something you approve of? All I said was he wants a seat at the table and him and his debil wife only care about themselves. Why does that hurt you so bad? Smh

That meeting looks diplomatic. I hope he’s not over there speaking for us who are not like them.

My answer to all of this is.
SMOKE A J.

He'll sit at a table with anyone except his own people and address any real issues we have. Yet some of y'all still thinks he represents "us." Laughable.
