B. Simone seems to find herself in the middle of controversy every other week. Despite the fact that there's a lot going on in the world, her thoughts on dating someone with a 9 to 5 job has sparked outrage. Many thought she was narcissistic for her comments while others thought it was plain unrealistic. Either way, the criticism poured in for the second time in a matter of weeks.
"He can’t have a 9-5... He can be a hustling entrepreneur," she said. "I think entrepreneurs should date entrepreneurs…you’re not going to understand my lifestyle. You’re not going to understand why I’m up at 3 a.m. He has to be an entrepreneur.”
Though it seemed to be more about the lifestyle rather than the income, it still rubbed many the wrong way with Tory Lanez being the latest to chime in. Hitting Twitter, he essentially said that even some of the rappers that flex hard for the 'Gram aren't making as much money as those with a regular job.
"Lolol i guess no one told my dog B.Simone that the world got ALOT of people who work a 9-5 THAT GET MORE MONEY THAN SOME OF OUR FAVORITE RAPPERS /ENTERTAINERS ?!?!???" He tweeted before extending an invitation to all the ladies working normal hours.
"For me on the other hand ... all y’all ladies with 9-5s hit my line I got time," he added.
Dame Dash Returns To Breakfast Club To Drop Some Knowledge
The school of Dusko Poppington.
Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that Dame Dash has earned his stripes as a businessman. Despite the antics that tend to surround his name, Dash has continuously maintained his values surrounding entrepreneurial growth and ownership. For that reason, he makes for a fascinating conversationalist — his latest appearance on The Breakfast Club serving as further proof.
Doubling down on his stance against lawyer Chris Brown, Dash elaborates. “He has three cases against me that are all frivolous. He’s lying, they all trying to rob me. He’s trying to compromise my name and do the Me Too thing. What’s scary is people actually lying now. I’m like a target all of a sudden.” Emphasizing that many of his philosophies surrounding business and ownership have ultimately come to fruition, Dash appears unwaveringly confident even amidst the legal drama. Detailing some of his ongoing endeavors, which includes a rock album and several original television shows, it’s clear that nothing is slowing this man down in the slightest.

Despite his rough against the edges exterior, Dame remains a fascinating and knowledgable pioneer. He seems to have insight into every field, even high school curriculums. “We need to start leveraging our power the right way instead of talking about bubblegum shit,” he says. “Let’s figure out how to pass laws, how to lobby. Why they don’t teach us to be politicians when we’re kids?” When Charlamagne explains it’s cause they don’t make it look cool, Dash is having none of it.
“This pisses me off about the curriculum at school,” says Dash. “I’ve been to school. They didn’t teach me anything besides math and how to read that I need to apply to my life today. They didn’t teach me how to pay taxes, how to grow food. They teaching me about pi and alegbra. I don’t need that! I’m not a scientist. They should be teaching us how to code. They teaching us another person’s history. Any law that was made when people had slaves should be changed. Most of the laws were made a hundred and fifty years ago to control people. Not physically, but mentally. We’re born into thinking we need to wake up at a certain time, be happy we’re given a job, sit down for eight hours a day since we were kids.”
Rick Ross Reflects On How He Made Different Miami Music
The Boss drops some knowledge.
Since bodyslamming his way into the game with Port Of Miami in 2006, Rick Ross quietly bossed his way into a well-tenured position in the game. With ten studio albums under his belt, the man known as Yung Renzel has become an OG of sorts, delivering gems for anyone eager to listen. Not long ago, Ross linked up with an interviewer by the name of Brian J. Roberts for an engaging conversation.

With entrepreneurship being the main topic, Ross explains that he always felt compelled to follow his own vision — even amidst the temptations of the Miami lifestyle. “I was the laid back fat kid with the scuffy shoes on thinking about getting the million,” explains Ross. “Of course I loved the party, but I got something else on my mind. Yeah, the chicks shaking the ass, the water splashin off, don’t get me wrong. I am entertained. But very quickly my mind drift to something else. I look. Okay damn, she’s talented. But I go to something else. That’s how my music has been. It had to be about Miami where I was from, but I wanted to paint another picture.”
When asked whether it’s easier to make it in the game today, Rick Ross reflects. “If I said that, I wouldn’t be honest with myself,” admits Ross. “You never know. It could be even more difficult now just because of the platform. So many more people have an opportunity and a voice. You never know…[Today] it’s a lot more visual. That’s something I love.” For more from The Boss, in a notably playful mood at that, check out the full interview below.
