Jay-Z often steps back from the music scene to focus on his business ventures and family, so when the Bed-Stuy-born rapper drops a verse, it’s sure to get attention. But this time, HOV’s lyrics sparked a different kind of conversation when he referred to reality television star Kim Kardashian as the “Queen of the Come Up” in a newly-released DMX collaboration.
In “Bath Salts,” a song on DMX’s posthumous album
Exodus that also features Nas, Jay-Z says, “I’m the King of Zamunda, uh, King of the Summer (Woo) / Come be my Kardashian, Queen of the Come Up.”Needless to say, Black Twitter had their opinions, with many fans unsure of how to feel about the line.
Claiming that Jay-Z appeared to be throwing shade at the E! Network star, one fan tweeted, “Come be my Kardashian – Queen of the come up” Jay-Z messssyyyyy.”
“How you with Beyoncé and you big up a K*rd*shian,” someone else tweeted about the controversial “Bath Salts” verse.
Another fan wrote in defense of Jay-Z’s “wordplay,” tweeting, “The fact that they’re talking about Jay-Z bashing Kim K is hilarious…like y’all don’t know wordplay? If you don’t get it, just say that.
Due to Jay-Z having a former friendship and business relationship with Kardashian’s now-estranged husband, Kanye West, the two were often seen attending the same events. He and wife
Beyoncé opted to skip the couple’s 2014 nuptials, leading some fans to suspect a rift between the Carters, Kardashian and West.Related Post: Claudia Jordan Claims Kanye West Shot His Shot While Dating Kim Kardashian
On 2018’s “FRIENDS,” Jay-Z alluded to personal relationship issues being the reason for their absence, saying in the song, “I ain’t goin’ to nobody nothin’ if me and my wife beefin’ / I don’t care if the house on fire, I’m dyin’, n***a, I ain’t leavin’.”
What do you think about Jay-Z’s latest verse? Was it all shade, or was he just stating facts?
