The relationship between Jay-Z and his right-hand man, Memphis Bleek, has been well documented in songs, concerts, and interviews. Jay once rapped, “Bleek could be one hit away his whole career, as long as I’m alive he’s a millionaire/And even if I die, he’s in my will somewhere, so he could just kick back and chill somewhere.” The following quote is a startling corroboration of that sentiment:

“In case something happens and I can’t make no money, I can go to my friend Jay-Z for a stimulus package.”
