Jay Electronica isn’t one to be chronically online so when he pops out, it’s usually to call out an issue in his typically colorful way. Via a string of replies on X, the New Orleans lyricist took time to defend Jay-Z from criticism over the recent announcement that Kendrick Lamar will be the featured act during next year’s Super Bowl halftime performance.
Jay Electronica opened his X rant on Wednesday (September 11) with a video then launched into a tirade that went all over the place.
“I don’t respect no gangsta that’s scared of the white man. Periodt,” Electronica begins.
He added, “N*ggas got all this smoke for Hov but they ain’t got no smoke for David Geffen and jimmy iovine and lucían grange and lyor cohen etcetera etcetera. I DO NOT RESPECT YOUR GANGSTER. You p*ssy.”
It appeared that Electronica had some issues with Birdman and the Cash Money Records collective over some assumed poor treatment of Turk of the Hot Boyz.
“And how you n*ggas did Turk was dirty and lame. ESPECIALLY since he REALLY MAGNOLIA and yall not. Get it how you live. I’m sawry potnaaaaa, he said, referencing the infamous Magnolia Projects where Electronica too hails from.
“And how yall so quick to let yall gun bust at your brother over nothing. If yall would put 10 percent of this negative energy over a FOOTBALL game into unifying for one common cause, our ppl would be free overnight. Salaaam Alaikum,” he continued.
The verbal portion of the rant ended with, “And finally, I will die in the war with the common enemy on the spot for Birdman and BG and Wayne and whoever else the same way I would Hov. We all we got. But who is man enough to say enough is enough.”
This rant stems from the idea that Jay-Z had a hand in selecting Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl halftime show via the deal with Roc Nation to help produce certain events and push initiatives off the field.
