Joe Budden Podcast Reacts to Jay-Z’s Roots Picnic Freestyle: Joe says he didn’t want to hear Hov diss Drake, Nicki Minaj, Tony Buzbee, and the rest — because his name and allure are too big for that. You ain’t rapped in a while, and the first thing you do is diss these people
🚨 KAGISO RABADA IS SMOKING !🤯
- Kagiso Rabada was smoking and got caught on camera while doing so. At that moment, Rashid Khan and the rest of the staff came and asked him, “What is this?” 👀

Jay-Z talks about how HARD 2025 was for him, addressing the R*PE lawsuit involving him and Diddy that got dropped, saying it was heartbreaking 😳👀
“Even when we were doing the worst things, it was no women, no kids… that’s things I took from the streets.”
JAY-Z responds to claims that he chose Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl as a move to undermine Drake:
“I chose the guy that was having a monster year, it wasn't in some sort of alliance to a battle... Like what? I’m f*cking Jay-Z.” (via GQ)
Jay-Z reflects on his relationship with J. Cole and how proud he’s been of him from the very beginning:
I was giving him a chance to take his talent and show it to the most people possible, but his way. I didn’t say, “Here’s this record from Stargate and you putting it out.” Like I forced Bleek to make “Memphis Bleek Is…”
Bleek is my little brother, he has to listen to me. But for J. Cole, he has to find his own direction and I’m going to give him the tools. Stargate made humongous records with Rihanna, Wiz Khalifa “Black and Yellow.” Biggest songs in the world. You don’t want to go sit with them? Fine, I don’t have any negative feelings for him. I’m actually super proud of him and what he’s done.”
Jay-Z shares his thoughts on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, explaining why he believes it went too far:
"In this day and age, it's so much negative stuff that comes with it, you almost wish it didn't happen... It's almost like it's a final thing. Now, people that like Kendrick hate Drake no matter what he makes, no matter what he says."
"We've just grown so much that, I guess I'm going to say it, I don't know if battling needs to be a part of the culture anymore."
