Generous Jay-z Threw Dupri's Dollars Away

Jay-Z once thrilled fans at a show in New York by throwing thousands of dollars he'd won in a basketball bet into the audience. Fellow mogul Jermaine Dupri was astonished with his pal's generosity - because Jay-Z had won the cash from him. In his new biography, Young, Rich + Dangerous: The Making Of A Music Mogul, Dupri recalls, "Me and Jay-Z bet on basketball games all the time. One time I lost $15,000 to him. "The next week, when he saw me backstage before a performance, the first thing he asked me was, 'Where's my money?' "I handed over a fat wad of Benjamins ($100 bills) and stood there while he counted. He ended up spraying most of the bills at the audience when he was onstage." http://www.thebeatstlouis.com/cc-common/news/news_music.html
