Jay-Z may be a titan in the music industry, but that doesn’t mean he is immune to being dissed by his fellow rappers. Recently, a slew of hip-hop artists, including Cam’ron, Mase, Birdman, and others, took shots at Jay-Z after he announced that Kendrick Lamar would be headlining the Superbowl halftime show.
The news of Kendrick Lamar’s highly anticipated performance at the Superbowl sent shockwaves through the rap community. Fans and fellow artists alike were buzzing with excitement over the announcement. However, it seems that not everyone was thrilled with Jay-Z’s choice of headliner.
Cam’ron, known for his outspoken nature, wasted no time in throwing shade at Jay-Z. In a now-deleted tweet, he mocked Jay-Z’s decision to have Kendrick Lamar perform, suggesting that he should have chosen a different artist instead.
Mase, another rapper who is no stranger to controversy, also took aim at Jay-Z. In a series of Instagram posts, he criticized Jay-Z’s handling of the situation and questioned his motives behind selecting Kendrick Lamar for the halftime show.
Birdman, who has had his own share of feuds with Jay-Z in the past, didn’t hold back either. He called out Jay-Z for not supporting other artists in the industry and accused him of trying to steal the spotlight from up-and-coming talent like Kendrick Lamar.
While Jay-Z has yet to respond to the criticism, it is clear that his decision to have Kendrick Lamar headline the Superbowl halftime show has ruffled some feathers in the hip-hop community. Only time will tell if this diss war escalates further or if Jay-Z can smooth things over with his fellow rappers. Stay tuned for more updates on this brewing feud.
