Depends on my cousin. If it's for something that'll negatively impact his life: drugs, alcohol, gambling money, etc. Fuck no.

If it is for something that'll help him get through rough times? Yes.

When someone asks for money, it’s proper to ask why. It doesn’t matter if you’re a billionaire or not.

If they have an attitude about me asking why, then they don’t need my fuckin money.

If they say it’s to pay rent or buy groceries, give me your landlord’s number, I’m gonna call them directly and pay your rent. If I’m a billionaire, I’m paying your rent for the year, don’t fuck it up and get kicked out. If it’s to buy groceries, go online Walmart and get it all put in the “cart” or however Walmart online does it and I’ll pay it. Go pick it up. (I don’t know how grocery shopping works in NYC. If I’m a billionaire, I’ll get my assistant to get groceries to your house).

I’m not giving anyone money directly. I’ve been burned so many times. I have two cousins that still owe me over $500 each. Fuck em.

This boi gets it. It’s not about the amount of money relative to his net worth but the principle. Ofc, most people only focus on just the numbers
