I remember Jay Z started rapping about buying art, and that felt like, oh, wow. Like, okay, this is a successful hip hop artist and he's investing in art, right? Then I remember hearing Drake rap about how I want art money. Like, what's art like?
Art money? That's not like buying a car. Listen, one of my mentors, Troy. Troy Carter, I went to his house. First time I went to his house, bro, because his art is kind of like, it's decorated throughout his house. You know what I'm saying? So when you walk in somebody house and they got these incredible art pieces of African figures and these different symbol. Oh, this is crazy.
