To hear the podcast visit: https://pod.link/1697986415 To watch the series visit: https://thegrio.com/starstories/ Touré played poker with Jay-Z one night in a swanky Manhattan penthouse suite. Each hand was worth thousands of dollars. Why was Touré in the game? He’s not rich enough for a game like that. It could have bankrupted him. The answer: He’s insane. Also, he was willing to risk everything to glean the very interesting bit of psychological insight he could get from being head-to-head in a hand of poker with Jay-Z.   Watch here:  https://thegrio.com/starstories/1368617/#sp=star%20stories   Credits: The Takeover Writer: JAY-Z & Kanye West Label: Roc-A-Fella Records Publisher: Roc The World    The Story of OJ  Writer: JAY-Z, No I.D., Nina Simone, Gene Redd Jr. & Jimmy Crosby Label: Roc Nation Publisher: Carter Boys Music, Sony Music Entertainment, Virgin Records, EMI Longitude Music, New World Music, Warner Music Group, EMI Music Publishing Group, Filmtrax, Eleven East Music, Bucky Music, Rolls Royce Music Company, BMG, Let The Story Begin Publishing, EMI Waterford Music, BMG Monarch, Warner/Chappell, Delightful Music, Round Hill Music, Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp., Carbert Music & Stephanye Music
