Bobby Shmurda<\/a> isn’t feeling Jay-Z<\/a>‘s latest lyrical performance.<\/p>\n The Brooklyn rapper took aim at the Roc Nation founder on Instagram after clips from Jay-Z’s freestyle performance at the Roots Picnic<\/a> began circulating online. In the footage, Jay delivered a lengthy spoken-word style verse that touched on several high-profile figures, including Drake, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Tory Lanez, and Dame Dash.<\/p>\n Bobby made it clear he wasn’t impressed.<\/p>\n “Now niccas NWA lmaooo,” he wrote on his Instagram Story while sharing a post about the freestyle.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n In a second post, Shmurda mocked Jay-Z’s age and artistic direction.<\/p>\n “Niccas be 56 years old going through identity christ [sic]. Lmaooo. Like who you going be next fronting ass nicca. lol nicca too old for that s**t go sit down old head,” he added.<\/p>\n Bobby didn’t stop there. Sharing another image referencing the Roots Picnic performance, he compared Jay’s delivery to classical theater.<\/p>\n “This nicca doing Shakespeare,” he wrote.<\/p>\n Bobby’s comments come after he blasted the Roc Nation founder<\/a> during a livestream in April after being asked whether Hov runs hip-hop.<\/p>\n “Man, f**k them n***as,” Shmurda said before dismissing the idea that Jay-Z controls the culture. He later referred to Roc Nation as “Opp Nation,” a nickname he has used on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n The tension is notable given Shmurda’s history with Roc Nation. In 2021, shortly after his release from prison, he signed a management deal with the company. The partnership eventually ended, and Shmurda has since become increasingly vocal about his frustrations with both Roc Nation and certain figures within the music business.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Jay-Z’s freestyle became one of the most talked-about moments from Roots Picnic after the rap icon appeared to address several longtime rivals and industry figures in the performance. Most notably he appeared to respond<\/a> to Drake, who seemingly took aim at Hov on Iceman.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cA rapper can\u2019t be my opp,\u201d Jay-Z rapped over the weekend. \u201cThe jig is up\/N***a I\u2019m up 10\/ Wrong chart, champ, you gotta look up again\/N****s look up to HOV\/I never looked up to them.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a> Bobby Shmurda Shows Support for Diddy: \u2018When You a N***a That F*ck Wild B*tches, People Try You\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Bobby Shmurda Vibing to DaBaby While Shirtless With Two Women Goes Viral<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Bobby Shmurda Recalls Fighting Cops in Order to Stay in Solitary While on Rikers Island<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Drake Again Makes Chart History by Landing 12 Albums on Latest Billboard 200 Update<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Tokischa Jokes About Festival Attendees’ Lack of Energy: ‘Why Y\u2019all Even Coming?’<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
