----------
In this clip, Jason Weaver detailed being offered $2 million by Disney just to sing in the Lion King. Jason spoke about his mom deciding to turn down the upfront money and negotiated royalties instead. The longterm payoff was worth it as Jason says he's made over $2 million in royalties from the film.

This is what Nipsey was preaching, learn the business of show business. It's a marathon folks, think long term.

[@robertb1275]

Spanish Ramon that wisdom isn't infinite to everyone because not all people have parents with the wisdom and financial means to tell they're child to turn down 2 million dollors because you will make more in the long term. Not all people understand the business of long term residuals and how much more lucrative that could be. Nip often went on radio shows to talk about this very thing of understanding business and being your own boss, and he was on the verge of opening up a computer center in his shopping plaza were he would teach the youngters coming up about business and possibly being your own boss so I'm don't know what your agenda is with cutting down another brotha who lived his life trying to educate his people to understand that if you choose to get into to the music or show business you needed to understand the business first.

[@robertb1275]

Kenny Lafortune it's not a matter of me needing Nip, I personally didn't because I recognize the fact that I was fortunate to have both parents in the home who were both college graduates who understood the importance of financial literacy. I also understand there are a lot of young people out here who don't have the opportunities I was fortunate enough to have therefore they were not taught what nip was trying to teach the younger generation who he knew didn't have that knowledge. He could have taken his money moved out the hood and said to hell with them, I got mine but he didn't do that. He tried to be a role model to those he saw were less fortunate and wanted to learn what you say they should have already known even having no one to teach them.

This is how the wealthy operate. If the black community operates like this we would be a wealthy community.

Shout out to Jason Weaver mom because she didn't think about that now money she thought about the long-term. So basically at longest Lion King still alive he going to always make money off that movie regardless what year and regardless any remake of that movie

[@sian744]

If Disney was offering the big cheque from day 1 then mama was absolutely correct in changing the decision to earning from royalties. Even at worst case Disney knew something big was on the horizon and lucky for mama it got Jason his deserved monies. Such a lovely refreshing artist, as I said before, keep it up Jason 💜🙌🏼

When Dr Dre came to Lebron about wearing his Beatz headphones. Lebron took only a percentage of the Beatz brand, pretty sure he took No cash upfront unless it was small in comparison. When Dre sold it to Apple, Lebron made $35 Million. More than he made that year in basketball $
