Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Ray J Drop $50k on Strippers
Let’s say I were to tell you that I was handing you $50,000 dollars to spend this weekend, no strings attached. You could spend it all in three days and no one would judge, or you could take a more responsible route. What would you do? Maybe buy a new, practical car, put 10,000 into savings, and then take all your friends to Vegas for the weekend? Or maybe invest most of it, but take a couple grand to go on a trip through Europe? Or would you take a posse to the middle of Georgia and spend all 50,000 American buckaroos on some below-average strippers?
Well, if you’re Floyd Mayweather and Ray-J, who apparently have money to burn, you go with option C. Or at least, that’s what they did this week when they hit up Diamonds of Atlanta, a strip club in the Georgian capital, and “made it rain” all night long. According to TMZ, Mayweather brought a Louis Vuitton bag packed to the brim with bills, and proceeded to spend every last cent on his friends and the strippers at the joint. Who, might I add, were NOT the sexiest strippers I’ve ever seen, that’s for sure.
I guess when you’re a world class fighter or Brandy’s brother once peed on Kim Kardashian a has-been rapper, $50K is loose change. Let’s just hope they got laid.

While I agree with you that spending 50k at a strip club is frivolous and silly, I must ask why those in the media (including you always use the terms “posse” and to a lesser extent “entourage” when talking about african american male celebrities (esp young celebs) and his group of friends? We all know that word (posse) has negative connotations attached to it, and you never see it used to describe Justin Beiber, Justin Timberlake, Shia LaBeouf, Robert Pattinson, etc…. or any white male celebrity, young or otherwise when they are spotted out with a group of friends. Also every young black artist that has a certain look or demeanor isn’t a “rapper,” Ray-J never was a rapper, he was/is a R&B singer, another thing the media does to often, just apply the “rapper” or “hip-hop artist” label to young black males in the music business regardless if they actually rap or not, seen it applied to singers from The Dream to Ne-yo, calling Ne-yo a rapper is like comparing Britney Spears to a rockstar on a Rolling Stones level, thats how far off it is. Hip-hop is a more general term for a culture, but to call danm near every not as well known to the “mainstream media” young black artist a rapper just seems like lazy journalism to me.
