<p>In December 2009, rapper Jadakiss officially came out as the <a href="http://nahright.com/news/2009/12/18/video-jadakiss-is-the-new-face-of-coogi/">new face of Coogi</a> and now, less than three months later, <a href="http://nahright.com/news/2010/02/24/video-jadakiss-helping-resurrect-another-brand/">he is fronting for FUBU</a>, both of which are owned by the same company. Now, understandably, he wants to get paid but is Jada really going to stand there and talk about being down with FB cause it enjoyed some success 20 years ago?<span id="more-61848"></span> </p>
<p>Sure! For the right price. If he&#8217;s <a href="http://gawker.com/5162807/memorial-to-biggie-smalls-is-also-a-paid-ad-for-sweaters">willing to drop Coogi lyrics</a> in <a href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&#038;videoid=51628473">a tribute track</a> to his friend, Biggie Smalls, and charge $25k, why wouldn&#8217;t he spout some shit on camera for history rewriting designer <a href="http://animalnewyork.com/2009/11/fubu-wont-even-try-to-pretend-its-a-black-clothing-company-anymore/">Daymond John</a> for another paycheck? </p>

So when <a href="http://animalnewyork.com/2009/11/fubu-wont-even-try-to-pretend-its-a-black-clothing-company-anymore/">I suggested</a> that it was two Jewish guys who mostly put his company in the black, he decided to descend into the comments (2x) and confirm, in a language that resembles English, that it was indeed two Jewish guys that put his company in the black or as he put it &#8220;made me rich.&#8221; Both the meltdown and contradictory nature of his wild rant makes it a must read, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1595558535/ref=ase_thomasnelsoni-20/">unlike his book</a>, which isn&#8217;t even in the top 100,000 on Amazon. Ouch! Read the maniacal musings below: <span id="more-43405"></span><br />

<blockquote><p>Hey Bucky,<br />
I see you are still sour that Norm and Bruce Fired you, you didn&#8217;t live up to what you say you could do, You claimed that you could create a large following for the social networking for our brands and they believed you,, once they realized that you couldn&#8217;t deliver, they pulled up your skirt and flushed you down the toilet like the terd you are. I noticed you didn&#8217;t have a large following personally, so I couldn&#8217;t understand how you could do it for anybody else. I can help you with that, I will go on twitter and push your site as well as your twitter account for free. The reason I will do this is to help you find a following, cause you obviously need help. If you ask yourself why would I do this, its because, You are a clear hater and I truly believe the more a hater talk about you, the more curiosity you create in the market. Its like a free cheerleader! I love it!!! I need you Bucky!! Its like when you tell a girl &#8220;don&#8217;t hang out with that guy! he is a bad boy&#8221; that will make the girl do anything to be with him to find out what all the fuss is about!!</p>
<p>SO, lets talk about the Old White jewish guys you referred to, Norman and Bruce! I have written about them in FULL in my book &#8220;DISPLAY OF POWER&#8221; (shameless plug)! I also talked about my agreement with SamSung. You wouldn&#8217;t know that because you don&#8217;t read! So as a &#8220;supposed to be&#8221; blogger you are not fact checking because 1>the book is out, 2>you are late cause the book has been out for 3 years and 3> you are incorrect due to FUBU is on public record, so check the ownership.<br />
no wonder you have a big following, your readers probably always find inconsistencies, late stories and hate based stories written by you. Poor fella<br />
Anyway, I will suggest people to follow you as well as read this blog, because at the end of the day, it will circulate and get me more press to push all that I&#8217;m doing and make you more depressed which makes you way more salty and makes you talk more which makes me get more and more attention! you get the picture, its a vicious cycle that I will profit from, and you will be the fuel to more and more PR for me!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU MY MAN! since this will be circulated so heavy, can i give a big ol shout out to my twitter @THESHARKDAYMOND catch me on my website DAYMONDJOHN.COM and the new FB coming out fall 2010, SHOPCOOGI.COM&#8230;. I think I covered it all. great talking to you my man. I will be forwarding people to your site.<br />
Best Regards<br />
Daymond John</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Incorrect again!!!!!!! I have to concede not that they made me rich, but they were a part of a large group that made me rich to be accurate!<br />
Here is the list :</p>
<p>*Norm and Bruce made me rich!<br />
*Samsung made me rich!<br />
*my dedicated consumer made me rich!<br />
*LL made me rich!<br />
*My 3 fubu partners made me rich!<br />
*my mother that supported me made me rich<br />
*my ex wife that held down the house made me rich!<br />
*God made me rich by blessing me!<br />
*The press made me rich by supporting me!<br />
*my employees that work night and day for me made me rich!<br />
*my licensees that spread my message around the world made me rich!</p>
<p>PLS GET IT STRAIGHT AND DON&#8217;T LEAVE ANYBODY OUT NEXT TIME HOMIE!!<br />
And I spoke about this all in &#8220;DISPLAY OF POWER&#8221; (shameless plug!) but you wouldn&#8217;t know that if you don&#8217;t fact check</p></blockquote>
<p>.</p>
<p>Still, at least John can rest easy knowing that he has at least <a href="http://live.drjays.com/index.php/2009/11/06/are-you-ready-for-fubus-comeback/">one equally irrelevant persona</a> is looking forward to the comeback. </p>
