50 cent and Eminem have been telling us about the Carters for a long time.

Jay-Z the guy who started chasing after Beyoncé when she was 16 years old and officially dating her at 19 when he was 30?

Well at least R-Kelly, P.Diddy, and Drake aren’t in the files! I’d be devastated if something bad came to light about them.

George Carlin: "It's a big club and you ain't in it.

Me in 2026: "thank goodness I'm not in it."

I bet the billionaires not mentioned in the Epstein files feel very unimportant and ask themselves "am I worth anything?"

[–] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Harvey Weinstein? That's inconceivable!

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 3 points 14 hours ago

I’m more surprised that it took this long for him to come up (at least this is the first time I’ve seen him mentioned in conjunction with the Epstein files)

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

Man now I'm going to have to take down my Weinstein flag and bumper stickers, and throw away my shirts and stop going to rallies year round

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 6 points 18 hours ago

Nobody is trying to screw these fools.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pusha T? That's the only surprising one IMO.

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago

Same, I’m truly caught off guard on that

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Must be why we got a new Clipse album

[–] mbp@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 day ago

Bread and circus smh

[–] whatalute@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

You're telling me that some disgusting rich men were found to be in association with other disgusting rich men? I'm shocked.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you havin’ file problems, I feel bad for you, son / I got an “in the file” problem and Epstein it’s from

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

Of all the things you could rhyme with "file", given the context, I applaud your choice of "in the".

[–] hector@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Jay Z eh? I never listened to much of his music in the short time I was into rap. But I do have a mix with him on it. He partied with them? This administration just released the goods on the supporters of their opposition, and or people that didn't pay them off not to I presume.

[–] Cherry@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They threw a few bones to distract the dogs. That was to be expected.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Indeed, this was guaranteed.

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 3 points 1 day ago

It had more to do with his ownership of a major record label, than him being a rapper, I'd assume.

Not these Epstein things!

[–] sable@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 day ago

So be it, so be it
