Jay-Z recently had an interview with BBC's Tim Westwood, and confirmed that he indeed has teamed up with Kanye West and Rihanna in a song titled "Run This Town". He said, "We basically run this town. It's myself, Rihanna and Kanye. It's pretty much it."
During the occasion, Jay-Z also denied speculation that he had sabotaged Chris Brown from performing at 2009 BET Awards. "That's the silliest rumor I ever heard. ... I was sitting back watching them. 'Look at them. That's so silly.' First, let me categorically deny that. If I have a problem with Chris Brown, I got a problem with Chris Brown. I don't agree with what he did and that's that." He added, "As far as not letting him perform on the BET Awards, that's just ridiculous, that's stupid, that's a sucker move, I wouldn't do it."
Furthermore, Jay-Z addressed another rumor suggesting he dissed The Game, Jim Jones and Dame Dash when he mentioned their names during a freestyle in a recent show in Las Vegas. "I said I'm not talking about, this, this. I'm not ... Is that a diss? 'Oh, you hurt my feelings.' Tell groupie to get over it ... If that's a diss, then wear that. Tell groupie to get over it," he said.
"Run This Town" is expected to be released this coming Friday, July 24. This song reportedly will replace his duet song with Drake as the second single from Jay-Z's September release, "The Blueprint 3".
