Here I was giving kudos to Jay Z just last week for saving the day for a waitress by dipping into his deep pockets and blessing her with a $500 tip. Now Jay Z defends crack fiend, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps in a statement to the media. I guess Jay cares more about kissing ass than he does about the kids who look up to these professional athletes.
From Contactmusic.com:
-
…hip-hop mogul Jay-Z insists the public should not judge Phelps over the scandal, insisting the young athlete will learn from his mistakes as he gets older.
He tells Cigar Aficionado magazine, “You look at all these people who graduated from Princeton and Harvard, who are supposed to be pillars of the community – every day (they’re) in the newspaper arrested for some kind of financial fraud. “Then you look at someone like Michael Phelps. He’s 23. What’s he gonna do? He’s a kid. He’s going to experiment.”
I agree.
Crack? Phelps smoked crack? I thought he smoked some weed.
Bey looks cute, love the shoes.
I don’t like those shoes or dress. She does look cute though. Is that a scar/mark on her leg?
So Phelps can get a pass for age and I think he is 23 not 19. Interesting
That boy smoked weed. I agree with Jay Z. He is a kid. Where would the world be if we were all presecuted for every minor infraction we made as stupid kids. That’s what life is about learning and moving on. With age comes wisdom and I’m sure Phelps has learned about that.
I love that dress she is wearing.
He smoked weed & I agree with Jay Z (big surprise). Him smoking Weed isn’t hurting anyone but himself. Those people who stole & swindled the public hurt us all.
I swear things that people do everyday without harm is always blown out of order when its done by a celeb.
Sidebar: I do like the fact that you added a story behind these pics that I’ve saw posted elsewhere with just the Jay N Bey in NY title.
Bey’s shoes are cute; the rest of her looks a mess
No comment on Jay’s ‘comment’.
he smoked weed … and aren’t 90% of rap songs singing the praises of weed … shoot Brian on Family guy smokes weed…lol … lol anywhoo … where are the smileys … u have a blunt for a smiley and it would be perfect… lol
damn I know they say “marijuana is the gateway drug” but how did he go from smoking some green at a party to a crack fiend that quick? Sandra stop it
yes auntie you promised to brang back those emoti’s. you said on monday. today is monday. i miss ’em.
Guess I am the only one NOT feeling the shoes
@Ice you never let me down when it comes to Jay..lol
Yeah, don’t let Sandra fool yall….the dude only smoked weed…..she just gets a lot of attention for printing the wrong more EMBARASSING shyt, feel me.
Well, the dress and shoes are cute just NOT together….
The dress is cute but those shoes??? OH HELL NO!
Next to those lego ones she wore last year these are the fugliest shoes I’ve seen her wear.
I dont think JAYZ is educated ENOUGH to speak on ANYTHING other than HOW TO DESTROY THE BLACK COMMUNITY, THUGISM 101, HOW TO DEGRADE A BLACK WOMEN in 10 words or LESS, and last but not least HOW TO MAKE YOUR CHILD A WALKING ADVERTISEMENT FOR DRUGS, MURDER, & CRIME!
@Dhoward1913

Yup, think of all the black Olympians who were caught using illegal substances and how their careers were destroyed.
@Daisy

***JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I COVER IT ALL B4 the STANS GET HERE, lol (u kow I dont get down with that)
OH…
cuz I was about to say FLY, WTH??….lol!
*yawn*
Hello all! Sandra, it was pot, weed, salad, maryjane, not crack, BIG BIG difference. And by the way, can you name ANY human in the history of the world who has EVER died from just smoking weed? Been behind the wheel and killed someone smoking weed? Been flying an airplane and crashed because of weed? Baby defects because of smoking weed? The American judicial system incarcerates thousands and thousands of young me, especially young black men, for selling weed yet cigarettes and alcohol, legal drugs, still kill millions. I’m just saying, for what its worth! Peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@Krysi J
GOTCHA….I was a little NERVOUS to when I was writing IT. lol
@PAHairston
**I know someone who was smoking **TREES** one time and walked into a GLASS DOOR! does that count? lol

With age comes wisdom and I’m sure Phelps has learned about that.
*************
The only thing he LEARNED WAS NEXT TIME DONT LET A NI@@A TAKE YOUR PIC WHILE YOU HITTIN THE BONG YO
You’ll pardon me…but this ISN’T Phelps FIRST time doing something that’s OFF THE CHAIN…
How about the D.U.I. when he was younger…where he could have KILLED SOMEBODY!!!
Phelps has a history of doing unethical things…but I guess he’ll just keep on because he isn’t held accountable…like folks of a specific color group that shall remain nameless…that man…IS NOT A KID!!! He has set himself up as a ROLE MODEL TO YOUNGSTERS!!!
Jay-Z could have and SHOULD have just kept that big mouth closed on this one…
I don’t think Michael Phelps should be crucified for smoking weed, but I don’t like people passing of his mistake as an age thing, he’s 23 for goodness sakes not a child. He knows right from wrong, at least he should. His age mates (and those younger)while not winning 8 gold medals are doing some mature things, running companies and being human rights advocates, finishing college and starting jobs. Not all people need to experiment with illegal drugs.
He has set himself up as a ROLE MODEL TO YOUNGSTERS!!!
———————————————————-
People always assume people want to be a role model when they are put in the limelight….that man is just doing what he does THE BEST, swim. He can’t help he won a gold medal for being the BEST at what he does…obviously if he has a history of doing unethical things then he never intended to be an influence on anyone’s kid. THATS what the public gets for SETTING people up to be a ROLE model without permission…shyt ask me first….don’t tell your kids to be like a nicCah and then talk em down when you find out they weren’t perfect….nobody even knew this dude’s name a year ago……..what about parents influencing their kids to jump on the banwagon and telling their kids to be anyone but themselves??? You can’t go wrong with that?
@Krysi I feel you but not all parents tell their kids to look up to other ppl. Kids/teens will always have outside influences no matter how great their parents are. I work w/ teens in my spare time and I see it all the time. I talk to them all the time about the ppl they “idolize”.
I wonder if that scar on her leg is from when she fell face4 first down those stairs. LMAO recalling it. She jumped back up quick as hell.
@Krysi J & Daisy
*YOU KNOW WHAT? you both make a lot of sense *
I still dont know though. I think FAMOUS people are well aware of the things they do..and sometimes they want people to follow them and do the same things they just ANIT gonna say it. Why else make songs telling people what to do.
@Shauny
I hope it came from her trippin over a BOOK that was trying to get her ATTENTION. lol
What should we do tar and feather the boy for smoking weed? Get real. This is an easy one to forgive and forget.
@fltqtnva
No, not white at all. I am a black woman. But what does that have to do with what we are talking about? First off, I’m not saying that what the boy did was right. I am saying that he did something stupid. We all are guilty of a little stupidity in our youth. I certainly am not the same person at 32 that I was at 23. I thank God for the wisdom to grow and REALIZE that I did stupid shyt.
Happy 4/20 Michael Phelps!…
LMAO….Happy $/20….that’s funny!
4/20^
But Ozzie Osbourne has been the prince of darkness since 1979…………ha.
phelps is cool with me, he a young man from Baltimore who listens to lil wayne and young jeezy etc, of course he smoke weed…plus he did lose a few endorcments and ws suspended from whatever swim thing but the next olympics is 4 yrs away he got his medals he good
sometimes they want people to follow them and do the same things they just ANIT gonna say it. Why else make songs telling people what to do.
——————————————————-
Katt Williams made a joke about smoking weed, infact he told people who weren’t smoking to get some in their system…..maybe Michael Phelps idolized Katt Williams and took his joke literally? Since we are going to make Idols an issue…whose to say Michael wasn’t influenced by people who encourage smoking weed, he’s a Jeezy fan right….LETS blame Jeezy and Katt then….that makes a lotta since, now lets protest and have Jeezy banned from rap and Katt banned from comedy for influencing Michael Phelps, who influences kids all over the world!
*poker face*
