Jay-Z May Have Slammed Kanye In New Song
In a feature in a new Meek Mills song, rapper Jay-Z seems to take aim at both President Trump and fellow rapper Kanye West. After a feud that started back in 2016, both rappers took shots at each other. It started when Kanye publicly bashed on both Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé. Things seemed to be getting better when West posted a picture on Instagram of the couple.
Many people speculated that the rapper was bashing on Kanye for supporting President Trump. Others assumed it was an attempt to place blame on Trump for setting the two rappers against each other. However, Jay-Z posted on Twitter that the line was meant to be taken as a sign not to pit the two together. He called Kanye his younger brother in the process.
