JAY-Z seemed to take a subliminal jab at Future on “Kill Jay Z,” the first track on his new album 4:44, and it looks like the Freebandz boss may have responded. The song is produced by No I.D. and finds Jay rapping a brief but pointed line seemingly aimed at the Future, who he collaborated with just last year on DJ Khaled’s “I Got the Keys.”
On the track, he drops a reference to Future’s son, whose mother is Future’s ex Ciara. She is now married to Seattle Seahawks player Russell Wilson, who has been criticized for being overly affectionate with Ciara and Future’s child:
In the Future, other niggas playin' football with your son
On Monday night, Future posted a selfie on his Snapchat Story that may have been a response to the jab:
This seems to reference lyrics on JAY-Z’s “The Story of O.J.,” which Louisiana rapper Boosie Badazz also took offense to recently. On the track, Jay raps:
Y'all on the ‘Gram holdin’ money to your ear
There’s a disconnect, we don’t call that money over here, yeah
Interestingly, Future’s Freebandz artist Zoey Dollaz recently claimed that Jay’s line wasn’t actually a diss:
So far no direct shots have been taken, but the state of Jay and Future’s relationship remains unclear.
