Alright, so I wanted to figure out how much Jay-Z charges for a feature, you know, just out of curiosity. I mean, the guy’s a legend, right? So, I started digging around, and let me tell you, it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be.
First, I hit up Google, like we all do, and I started going through articles and interviews. It turns out, the dude doesn’t even charge for features! Can you believe that? He said in an interview with Kevin Hart that he’s usually asked to be on songs and doesn’t charge a dime for it. Mind-blowing, right?
Here’s what I did:
- Searched online: I looked through a bunch of articles.
- Read interviews: I found that interview with Kevin Hart where Jay-Z talks about not charging for features.
- Looked at his tour earnings: I found out that his tours make over a million dollars per night!
Now, I know what you’re thinking, “But wait, I’ve heard about rappers charging insane amounts for verses!” And yeah, that’s true for some. But Jay-Z is on another level. He’s not just a rapper; he’s a businessman, a mogul.
I kept searching, and I found some info about how much he makes per show. Apparently, he rakes in around $3 million per show, and sometimes even up to $5 million! That’s insane money. But again, it just shows how big he is.
From what I gathered, it seems like Jay-Z’s decision not to charge for features is more about choosing who he wants to work with rather than making a quick buck. He’s at a point in his career where he can do that.
So, there you have it. My little adventure into figuring out Jay-Z’s feature fee. Turns out, the answer is zero. He doesn’t charge. But he does make a ton of money from his shows, and he’s selective about who he collaborates with.
It was a fun little research project, and it gave me a new perspective on how things work at the top of the music industry. It’s not always about the money; sometimes it’s about the art and the relationships.
