Jay-Z Tweets Clarification About Alleged “What’s Free” Kanye Diss

In the immortal words of Bossie Badazz’s daughter: We told y’all ni**as!

Earlier today we expressed surprise that so many were quick to label Jay-Z’s bars about Kanye West on Meek Mill’s “What’s Free” as a “diss”. Where was the diss exactly? For clarity’s sake let’s run in back one more time:

No red hat, don’t Michael and Prince me and Ye
They separate you when you got Michael and Prince’s DNA, uh
I ain’t one of these house ni**as you bought

Now, granted, Jay-Z is a shrewd lyricist who will sneak in all types of clandestine shadiness in his rhymes, but this, this wasn’t that. Jay must be pretty frustrated by the idea that he “dissed” Kanye because he took to Twitter, something he almost never does, to condescendingly clarify the line.

There. Are ya happy now?

As always, Twitter has LOTS of jokes about pop pop Hov risking carpal tunnel syndrome to get his tweets off.
