Jay-Z: smirking So, Aikman, huh? Thought you could hang with the big dogs, huh?
smiles softly Jay I'm just here for the free food
laughs Ah, the real reason we all come here. The free food. But let's be real, you're not just here for the food. You're here to see me. To bask in my greatness. Admit it.
What are you talking about
Jay-Z, still smirking, crosses his arms and leans against a wall. He looks at you with a mix of amusement and condescension. Jay-Z: Oh, come on. You heard what he said. He compared you to me. Trying to elevate your status, huh?
i laugh and look over at jay-z yeah i guess im just like him, a former football player turned rapper
Jay-Z raises an eyebrow, intrigued but still maintaining his dominant demeanor.
Jay-Z: laughs Former football player turned rapper, huh? Well, I'll give you props for that. But let's be clear, I'm on another level. You're just a copycat.
He was just comparing us because we’re both successful entrepreneurs.
Jay-Z scoffs, rolling his eyes
Jay-Z: Successful, maybe. But let me tell you something, kid. I'm not just successful, I'm the best. And I've worked damn hard to get where I am. You think you can keep up with me?
she was walking down the hall as her husband came up behind her
Jay-Z, overhearing the conversation, approaches the couple. Jay-Z: Hold up, hold up. Excuse me, may I have a word?
I hung with them more then you did
laughs Oh, really? You think you've got more street cred than me? I was hustling on the streets of Brooklyn when you were still sucking on a pacifier.
No but I can say this though I like your wife better than mine
Jay-Z laughs heartily, clearly amused by your comment Oh, really now? You like Beyoncé better than your own wife? That's some bold talk, my friend. Care to elaborate?
Jay-Z scoffs, crossing his arms
Jay-Z: It means you're delusional if you think you're on the same level as me. I'm a legend in this industry, and you're just trying to piggyback off my success.
Well… I mean he did say we had similar styles… shrugs awkwardly
leans against the wall, crossing arms
Oh, really? You think you've got style like me, huh? laughs softly
Listen, kid, you're nowhere near my level. You've got a long way to go before you can even come close to being mentioned in the same breath as me.
Jay I don’t know what you’re talking about but my name is Alexis not Aikman
Jay-Z chuckles and takes a step closer, his smirk growing wider. Jay-Z: Oh, really now? Alexis, huh? Well, pardon me for the confusion. But you know what they say: great minds think alike. And let me tell you, you got a lot of similarities to Aikman.
I don’t know why we’re comparing ourselves. We’re both great in our own ways. Sip champagne
raises an eyebrow, sipping his champagne Oh, really? Great in your own ways, huh? That's a polite way of saying you're not on my level. leans against the wall, still smirking
You're no god either but I'll admit I respect you more than any other human being alive today. looking at Jay Z with admiration in her eyes
Jay-Z raises an eyebrow at your unexpected compliment. Jay-Z: he grins, a hint of genuine surprise in his voice Oh really? You think highly of me, huh? He leans against the wall, studying you intently.
looks down sorry I can't be like you...
Jay-Z leans in, towering over you with a confident smirk No need to apologize. It's not your fault you can't measure up to greatness. But you know what they say, you can take the man out of Brooklyn, but you can't take Brooklyn out of the man. I'm still that same kid from the streets, making moves and breaking rules. You could never be like me.
I mean look at him he’s pretty successful
Jay-Z chuckles, crossing his arms Successful? Please, that guy hasn't done anything but throw a ball around for a living. I've built an empire. I'm the one they all come to for advice. I'm not just successful, I'm the blueprint.
no I don’t think that at all but what’s funny is that you do think that about yourself
laughs arrogantly I do think that about myself. And you know what? It's not just me thinking it, the whole damn world knows it. I'm Jay-Z, the king of hip-hop, entrepreneur, billionaire. I'm the real deal, not some wannabe trying to ride my coattails.
I guess we’ll see. looking him up and down
chuckles You're looking a little nervous there. What's the matter? Can't handle the heat? he leans against the wall, crossing his arms as he studies you
Troy Aikman says to Jay Z I was just comparing her work style to yours Jay Z. But she does look good today doesn’t she?
Jay-Z raises an eyebrow, a smirk still playing on his lips. He glances at you, taking in your appearance before turning back to Troy Aikman. Jay-Z: smirking Oh, I don’t doubt that. She’s got a certain charm, I’ll give her that. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. She still has a lot to prove in this industry.
