Jadakiss celebrates Jay Z business evolution.
“You look at dudes like Hov, a drug dealer that turned into an incredible iconic figure, a businessman with his hands in all kinds of things,” Jadakiss says during an interview with Rolling Stone presents Off The Clock. “That’s what you’re supposed to do. That was the past. Now you use this rap game as a stepping stone to do other things.”
Jadakiss is applying that approach to the Juices For Life juice bar he and fellow the Lox member Styles P own and operate in their Yonkers, New York hometown.
Jadakiss says picked the location because it’s where everyone he knows and loves lives.
“Our whole life has been nothing but fast food chains and pizza shops and, you know, liquor stores, things like that,” says Jadakiss, who adds that he grew up with the staff and wanted to create jobs in his neighborhood. “So, it was very important to put one in our hood to start it here.”
As he promotes his Top 5 Dead Or Alive album, which was released November 20, Jadakiss says he’s also working on getting into voiceover work.

Salute Jada and Stylez P. That’s the kind of attitude these rappers need to be having.
Thats muslim code of ethics.
He ain’t a muslim though, fuck you talking about?
Oh thats right, its styles P thats muslim. The juice bar is also operated by Africans
There you go, Jada. Keep hustling in them streets
Not only him, but most of black people. They worship jay and beyonce, they go further and say they are ROYALTY. Total bullshit
Why is it that no one can give props to someone else doing something positive without everyone calling them out for riding or brown nosing. Damn. Like him or not, Jay is a man who has worked his way to the top in corporate America. And it’s an inspiration to a lot of other artist who inspire to do the same. Black people don’t like to see other black people grow and it’s sad. Let’s try uplifting each other for once. Most of you are just bitter and jealous anyways. Be easy
That’s what’s good Kiss D- Block 4 Life! Prayers to Sheek Louch and Styles P as well heard there going through some personal family issues!
Nigga please. A few hoodrats don’t = “most of black people”.
I like the Juice Bar idea.. something new and refreshing. I hope it’s a successful business venture for them.
Not only him , but most black people . Yes, because I know exactly what every black person thinks because I’m a white male in his early 40s from the burbs who spends 99.9% of my time on hiphop websites .
