Seems like it takes a lot to make JAY-Z break his silence on Rap beefs these days, but when he does he goes NUCLEAR!

As Drake fans continue to praise the Canadian hitmaker for lacing his latest chart-topping album ‘Iceman‘ with HOV disses throughout (see: songs ‘Janice STFU,’ ‘Whisper My Name,’ ‘Make Them Pay,’ and more), JAY (born Shawn Carter) apparently had enough and hit back during a freestyle performance at The Roots Picnic on Saturday (May 30).
“The jig is up, n* I’m up 10, wrong chart champ, n*s looked up to Hov, I never looked up to them,” he said in direct response to lines from ‘Janice.’
Drizzy wasn’t the only one getting Carter’s wrath, however.
Look below for a few standout lines from the fiery bars he delivered.
- “My children is some of them, have you n–gas no shame? Y’all trying to get under skin, I really get under skin. Ask Un how I’m playin. Y’all thoughts with your thumbs again. Everybody thinks they’re the ones insane. You’re no maniac,” he said in response to Kanye West asserting JAY and Beyonce‘s children have mental disabilities.
- “Teeth fumbling out they mouth,” was said in response to Damon Dash.
- “Questlove introduced me to Jaguar. I dunno why I still f**k wit him,” was a shot at Jaguar Wright for years of publicly accusing JAY of sexually abusing other women.
- “The price of the bricks going up. It’s gon cost you a B to even say my name,” he said in response to a dismissed sexual assault lawsuit lifted by lawyer Tony Buzbee.
- “That lady back on that stuff, she like she in love with em. Her Ken can’t even… takethey kid…..enough of them,” he said in response to Nicki Minaj‘s headline-grabbing rants against him over the years.

Thank GOD he took out those awful dookie dreads! Still looks a mess but I’ll take this look over the former look anyday. He would look dope in braids.
Wasn’t this Jiggaboo acting grown talking about rap battles not being part of the culture. He mad! 😅.
Walking around like a mad fizzy soda can overflowing in a cup. The jig is up.
Daddies dissing Daddies. Smh. Now Blue and North will never be besties.
He made an album with R. Kelly even after he knew what he had done to Aaliyah, just because she didn’t want to be with him.
And he cheated on Beyonce.
The jig is up
At the root of it all, he is a rapper.
All of them did in fact look up to him. I take it hes about start cooking again…..
They come for you Jay. You better start running. I won’t be happy until you are in an orange jumper.
He sold his on mother crack
