JAY-Z may have finally ended the ‘$500,000 or dinner with JAY-Z’ debate and we should all be thankful

Internet debates are almost always insufferable. We’ve seen so many over the years.

What color is this dress? Is it saying Laurel or Yanny? Should avocado toast even exist? Pineapple on pizza? Y’all remember them all, I’m sure. Because, more than likely, you’ve engaged in one of these pointless conversations.

But one of the most insufferable debates online was whether you’d have dinner with billionaire hip-hop mogul JAY-Z or take $500,000 instead of the dinner.

And, of course, the correct answer is always taking $500,000. It’s $500,000 more than you currently have, regardless of how much money you have, and there’s no guarantee that JAY-Z will even like you, let alone give you good life advice.

Yet, there were still people who were choosing the dinner with Jay for whatever reason.

Now, though, the debate is settled. And JAY-Z, himself, may have been the one to settle it. Tidal, the music streaming company JAY-Z owns a portion of and is the face of, tweeted this on Wednesday night.

Man. That’s JAY-Z’s company telling everyone to take the $500,000. The debate is over. There never should’ve been any debate in the first place.

We’re not sure if Jay actually sent this tweet, but we think he did.
