Jay-Z has revealed that he has acquired his sharp business mind from his early days as a drug dealer on the streets of Brooklyn.

During an interview with Vanity Fair, the music mogul asserted that you need to know what you can spend and what you need to save when you are involved in a drug deal, the Mirror reported.

The 43-year-old rapper, who's worth a staggering 375 million pounds, said that to get out of the drug-dealing life, you need to save to start another decent business.

Jay-Z added that you need to have an exit strategy, as your window for dealing drugs is very small, because either you're going to get locked up or die.
