Investing in a profitable franchise is an attractive way to start a business with a well-established brand, proven business model, and ongoing support. High-profit franchises allow owners to maximize their returns while leveraging a recognized name and customer base.

Pusha T may be steadfast in the music business but has adopted a “business-first” mindset. As AFROTECH™ previously reported, the Virginia-born rapper has made some wise decisions over the years, investing in his friend’s company, Caring Hands Medical Transportation, which has proven to be “lucrative and fulfilling,” according to a 2022 interview on “The Breakfast Club.” “That business is like 25 vans strong running through seven cities [in Viriginia]. It’s called Caring Hands Medical Transportation. It has helped my mother, sick cousins, family members, and friends,” Pusha T said during a conversation on “Assets Over Liabilities.” In 2022, the rapper turned a supposedly sour business decision with McDonald’s into a vital learning lesson that benefited him while working with another fast food chain. Alongside Pharrell Williams, Justin Timberlake, and Pusha T’s brother No Malice, he claims they reportedly wrote the McDonald’s “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle in 2003, noted Rolling Stone. Pusha...
TikTok has been at the center of many recent conversations. Despite its battles at Capitol Hill, the social media app is still one of the primary places Gen Z and others go for entertainment, recommendations, and news. Disney star Skai Jackson is among the people who have tapped into TikTok’s ubiquity. Jackson has been vocal about using TikTok and how it has impacted her personal life. According to a report from Blavity, the 22-year-old has a partnership with hair brand Cantu Beauty. However, her searches on TikTok taught her hairstyling techniques that would allow her to maximize the use of the products she promoted. View this post on Instagram A post shared by S K A I (@skaijackson) “I really feel like these products [Cantu] are so special because they took the time to answer everybody’s needs and deliver and put them into the product,” she told Blavity. She continued, “It’s just so amazing to see that there are millions of people in the world dealing with the same issues as me...
Pusha T is teaming up with Arbys for the second time this year to seemingly troll the company’s fast-food competitor McDonald’s, but not without partial ownership of his work. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pusha T (@kingpush) “It’s the second diss track with @Arbys that buries ‘em,” Pusha T said in an Instagram post on Sept. 27.
When it’s your time, it’s your time. As previously reported by AfroTech, Pusha T’s feud with fast-food company McDonald’s first began to brew after he wrote its “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle in 2003 with his brother, No Malice, in which they weren’t adequately compensated. According to Rolling Stone, the rapper said he received a one-time fee but no royalties. Then, he went off on the chain when Arby’s aired its commercial “Spicy Fish Diss,” on March 21. While it was for marketing purposes, shots were fired and now it’s being speculated that it could have brought success for the restaurant. On March 22, Complex reported, the track “netted the roast beef giant more than $8 million equivalent in advertising exposure.” The estimate was brought to the public’s attention by business analyst Darren Rovell, who noted that per Apex Marketing, “Spicy Fish Diss” brought in “equivalent advertising exposure” of an estimated $8,203,272. Value to Arby’s through 7pm ET: $8,203,272 in equivalent...
The beef between Pusha T and McDonald’s has recently resurfaced in quite an interesting turn of events. The rapper’s feud with the fast-food company first began to brew after he wrote its “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle in 2003 with his brother, No Malice, in which they weren’t adequately compensated. Justin Timberlake was reportedly paid $6 million for recording the hit. Now, according to Rolling Stone, Pusha T is getting the last laugh after the foul deal on his end of a one-time fee but no royalties. On March 21, Arby’s aired its commercial “Spicy Fish Diss,” bars courtesy of the Virginia emcee. The ad is for the sandwich company’s marketing purposes, but the shots fired are a bit more personal for him.
