Jay-Z threw subtle shade at Kanye West during a surprise cameo at Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour on Sunday.
Not only did the couple perform Crazy in Love and Drunk in Love, remixed with Partition, at Paris’ Stade de France, but Jay-Z, 55, also performed N****s in Paris.
The 2011 song, notably, is the hit single from his and West’s Watch the Throne album.
While the lyrics read, “Just might let you meet Ye,” the Roc Nation founder omitted West’s name from the song, according to fan footage.
“Just might let you meet Bey,” Jay-Z rapped instead, referencing his wife of 17 years.
Reps for Jay-Z and West have yet to respond toPage Six’s requests for comment.
The diss came three months after West made headlines for attacking Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s kids in an unprovoked rant via X.
In the appalling tweets, the Yeezy creator questioned the little ones’ mental capacity.
While he expressed remorse for the viral tweets, West took his apology back during an interview with DJ Akademiks later that same month.
He called the tweets some of his “worst” — or maybe his “best” and “strongest”.
West issued a subsequent apology in April, only to immediately ask a vulgar question about Beyoncé, 43.
The Single Ladies singer and Jay-Z, who are also the parents of 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, were “discussing how they want to handle this situation, whether that be privately and/or in a legal matter,” a source told Page Six.
We heard the couple would “absolutely not stand” for the “vulgar and offensive” statements.
While Jay-Z and West’s working relationship began in 2000, the Grammy winners have been at odds for years.
Jay-Z told the New York Times about their “complicated” bond in 2017, saying, “There’s certain things that happened that’s not really acceptable to me. … But there’s genuine love there”.
