Stephon Marbury Says Jay-Z Is Not An Advocate For Black People

i

Many people have applauded Jay-Z for his recent social justice initiatives and work with criminal justice reform. However, former NBA star Stephon Marbury is calling BS on it all.

Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson recently sat down with Marbury and in the interview Marbury addressed his almost two-decade long feud with Hov. Marybury’s beef with Jay-Z stems from a couple of bars Hov threw at him about when he was robbed of $150k worth of jewelry. “Don’t confuse me with Marbury out this bitch/Run up on me at the light you might lose your life,” Hov rapped in “La-La-La-La (Excuse Me Miss Again).

Marbury says he and Jay’s beef started over a woman. Marbury was dancing at a club with a woman who later told him that Jay was mad at him for dancing with her.

Marbury then goes on to say how he believes Jay-Z is trying to be something he’s not.

Wow, here you are trying to be something that you’re not. You’re not an advocate for Black people, you sold drugs to Black people and you rapped about it and talked about it. How do you do that? Like, I’m trying to figure that part out. Like, you can’t make that right. This ain’t snitching, this ain’t telling on nobody,  you told on yourself already. You already told people what it is that you do and how you do it and how you feel about what you’re doing. So, how are you rapping about something that you did? I’m confused. I dunno. But people ask me, ‘Why you always talking about Jay-Z? Why you always saying something about LeBron?’ — they’re two of the same. They’re together. They’re friends.”

Marbury did not stop there. He then continues to talk about Hov’s past as a crack/cocaine dealer. Marbury talks about how Jay sold drugs to pregnant women and created crack babies that killed their grandparents.

“You sold drugs to people where you’re from Jay-Z in Brooklyn in Marcy, you got them on crack — whatever it is cocaine whatever it is that you were selling to them. Whatever you say you was ‘cooking up’, that’s what you did. So now, you got your people high, you sold drugs to people that was pregnant, now you created crack babies — these same babies that are going out killing grandparents… I’m confused. But that’s what it is. That’s what happened.”

Stephon Marbury To Deliver 10M Masks To NY To Help With Coronavirus Pandemic

If your government or greedy corporations fail you, people will step up. One such person happens to be former NBA star Stephon Marbury, who is helping to deliver 10 million masks to New York to help with the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Starbury became an even bigger basketball star in China after he left the NBA. And that’s where he’s going to get New York the needed masks to protect healthcare workers as they treat COVID-19 patients.

Reports the New York Post:

Marbury, who played in the NBA 14 years before moving overseas to become a legend in the Chinese Basketball Association, told The Post he’s made arrangements with a mask supplier in China willing to sell New York 10 million masks “at cost” for $2.75 each – well below the roughly $7.50 that N95 retailers have been quoting the state.

The Coney Island native said he got the idea last week after learning of the state’s lack of protective gear and the astronomical price its been paying for masks. So the now-retired, former point guard decided to reach out to Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a presumptive 2021 mayoral candidate who has backed Marbury’s local charities in the past, to let him know he’s ready to dish his biggest assist yet.

“At the end of the day, I am from Brooklyn,” Marbury said during a call from his Beijing home. “This is something that is close and dear to my heart as far as being able to help New York.”

“I have family there in Coney Island, a lot of family … who are affected by this, so I know how important it is for people to have masks during this time.”

Marbury’s connect in China reportedly has more N95 masks than they need since the country has allegedly been able to reign in its COVID-19 outbreak.

But what’s troubling is Marbury’s peeps had reached out to New York officials about procuring the masks only to get radio silence. It wasn’t until the Post reported his intentions that they got on the ball.

This is the new normal in the life. We have to adjust and adapt quickly in our lives. Wearing a mask is so important during this #coronavirus pandemic if we must be out and about. The quarantine has purpose so we can help the infected and protect the healthy. The virus is the invisible killer. It has no heart or compassion as we’re all exposed. I too have family members exposed to this virus. No one is exempt as we see people of all statue infected by this virus. The only way to move pass this is through it together. We can do this by staying home until we create a solution that everyone can conform and perform well to. Positive energy laughter, prayer 🙏🏾, meditation are some of the rules we can follow. Quick to listen and slow to speak to each other will help us communicate better to each other. This will give us strength and hope during a time we never experienced in time to grow together as 1. Keep growing and loving during this uncomfortable time. You define who you are when you create comfort in a uncomfortable state. Stay great in this space and keep pushing!!! #loveislove
