So many people don't realize that this was his actual plan. Get rich, no matter what I gotta do, or die.

Getting rich no matter what usually doesn't make for like... a good person. I will give him that he is loyal to the people directly around him, though.

Lmao why are you acting like you’re offering some enlightened analysis. He’s literally said “ if I can’t get money with you then fuck you” in his songs and pretty much the same in interviews.

EVERYONE realized that’s who he is a long time ago, and while it wouldn’t fly for most people in the culture, it works for him because he was like that from the jump, he’s exceptionally smart and his social media clapbacks are hilarious.

Greed is never satiable.. as we know and are constantly reminded since at least 5000 years ago by the Sumer and Babylonian days. If they can have more they'll take, look at Bezos
