AceShowbiz - Kanye's relationship with Jay-Z is as complicated as Kanye's with Drake. The hip-hop moguls were known as big bros to each other. Ye even defended Jay-Z's wife Beyonce Knowles at the 2009 MTV VMAs by telling Taylor Swift, who snagged the trophy for Best Female Video category, that Bey should had been the winner of the award.
Things, however, got awkward between Kanye and Jay-Z when the former called out the "4:44" rapper during his "Saint Pablo" tour in 2016. "Don't call me after the [Paris] robbery and say 'how you feelin?' You wanna know how I'm feelin? Come by the house," he told a packed crowd during his stop in Seattle. "Bring the kids by the house. Like we're brothers. Let's sit down."
Being a musician, Jay-Z made his response through his song "Kill Jay-Z" off his album titled"4:44". "You gave him 20 million without blinkin'/ He gave you 20 minutes on stage, f*** was he thinkin'? 'F**k wrong with everybody?' is what you sayin'/ But if everybody's crazy, you're the one that's insane," he rapped in the track.
Later in an interview with The New York Times, Jay-Z revealed that he talked to "Kanye the other day, just to tell him, like, he's my brother. I love Kanye. I do." He also added that they had "a complicated relationship."
Meanwhile in May 2018, Kanye revealed that his fallout with Jay-Z started way back in 2014 when Jay-Z and Beyonce sat out his and Kim's wedding. "I was hurt about them not coming to the wedding. I understand they were going through some things, but if it's family, you're not going to miss a wedding," Ye told Charlamagne Tha God on iHeartRadio's "The Breakfast Club".
