Jay-Z and Mariah Carey’s respect for JD’s influence
Jay-Z and Mariah Carey could’ve been anywhere in the world, but they chose to rock out with Jermaine Dupri. It spoke volumes to have Jay-Z and Carey grace the stage in support of Dupri. Jay-Z, who is arguably the biggest rapper today, paid homage to Dupri who called on Jay-Z at a time when the Brooklyn rapper was still up and coming. In 1998, the two released the hit “Money Ain’t a Thing.”
