Jay-Z and Donald Trump are both successful businessmen in their own fields, the former in the music industry and the latter in the real estate world. Rumors have it that the rapper is going to be next host and boardroom boss on the next "Celebrity Apprentice" in the US.
MTV also reported that Jay-Z, replacing Donald Trump, has been recruited to fill in for the Republican presidential candidate as the show's host.
"The deal is done but the business guys are putting together the paperwork," a source said in the report. "Jay has been trying to show his business side to the public, this is the perfect opportunity."
These rumors and speculations are prompting the fans of "Celebrity Apprentice," with the previous season concluding last February, to expect something different from Jay-Z, should he replace Donald Trump.
Will he think of projects related to the music industry? Will he ask contestants to raise funds for his Tidal business? Or, will the show feature Jay-Z introducing his wife like Donald Trump did to Melania Trump, and say, "This is my lovely wife, Beyonce"?
"He and Beyonce are a real business team, it's not for show," the source added in the report. "So I wouldn't be surprised if she came on the show to give her opinion too."
Jay-Z and Donald Trump's business ethics
Jay-Z and Donald Trump are two businessmen with different styles.
According to Business Insider, his music streaming service Tidal is among those behind his success and his reported $500 million estimated net worth.
The website also noted that the rapper has found success by creating his opportunities. He was reportedly a drug seller in his teenager years and now a business mogul. But Donald Trump also does create his own opportunities too, doesn't he?
A website called Big Fish Ink illustrated the distinct business ethics of the real estate magnate, saying that if you are in a well-run company and want to turn a profit, Donald Trump is the first person to fire.
"It's immaterial what Trump says he's worth if he owes more than his assets, and he always owes more than his assets, but makes deals with his bankers to allow him to live high on the hog," the website said. "His false front of wealth helps bring in money to pay them back."
If Jay-Z sits on that board room chair, at least no one will question his hairstyle.
