Fresh from being rebukedby his wifeBeyoncé in song, rapper Jay Z is back with a new verse on a Pusha T song, “Drug Dealers Anonymous.”
The song samplesThe Blaze hostTomi Lahren, who criticized the choice of Beyoncé as Super Bowl halftime performer by lambasting her and her husband: “Your husband was drug dealer!For 14 years, he sold crack cocaine!” Indeed he did! And Jay Z treats the jab as an excuse to remind everyone of how good he was at it. A couple of lines are as follows:
I’m getting ghost, I’m hearing noises
I think it’s the boys, but I been banking at Deutsche
The “boys” are the IRS or the FBI (or both) and the shout-out for helping him evade said boysis toGermany’s Deutsche Bank. (Which Jay Z pronouncesmore like “Doych.”)Jay Z’s accountant receives similar praise in the verse, but remains anonymous. The rapper’s number cruncherdeserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his “hula-hooping through loopholes, working around sh*t.”
At least we now know where Jay Z (net worth: $610 million) does his private wealth management. Or do we? A source familiar with the situation told Quartzthat the rapper is not actually a client of Deutsche at all.(Still, great rhyme.)
In any event, Deutsche won’t be happy with the association. Late last year, thetroubled bankpaid a fine of $258 millionfor providing financial services toenemies of the US government, just one of many legal missteps that cost it more than $5 billion in fines during 2015. Ithas also been criticized for its offshore banking practices, as featured in thePanama Papers.
Deutsche Bank declined to comment on its dealings with the Jiggaman.
