Jay-Z, who is the owner of RocNation, took the stage at Roots Picnic by storm as he did not spare Nicki Minaj, Ye and Drake.

The 56-year-old seemingly made a shocking claim about the Barbie World hitmaker, rapping: “That lady back on that stuff, she sounds like she’s in love with em/Her Ken can’t even… pick they kid.”

He supposedly targeted her: “I got MAGA republicans, Those shots came from the very top of the government, good luck with them.”

While he did not announce Nicki’s name, fans are convinced he was talking about the Bang Bang crooner who recently made her support for President Donald Trump public.

Moreover, Jay also targeted Drake after the Canadian artist made a jab at him in one of the songs from his newly released album.

The Hotline Bling crooner poked fun at the businessman by reviving the $500k dinner meme which asks people to choose one over the other.

Did Drake target Jay-Z?

He rapped in the song Whisper My Name, “I take 500k down to dinner, I never could learn sh*t from none of y’all.”

Beyonce’s husband noticeably debuted a completely different hairstyle for the event. It was reported that the Empire State of Mind songmaker performed at a private ceremony before.
