Kanye West sparks feud rumors after dropping Jay Z's name from song lyrics
Kanye West has sparked rumors he is feuding with Jay Z after he dropped the rapper's name from lyrics in his songs during a recent concert.
The Stronger hitmaker invited Jay Z and wife Beyonce to his wedding in Italy last month (May14), but the superstar couple opted to spend the weekend in the Hamptons, New York with their daughter, Blue Ivy, instead.
Now rumors are circulating the two may be feuding after West
dropped Jay Z's name from several song lyrics during his
performance at the X Games in Austin, Texas this past weekend
(07-08Jun14).
According to reports, West omitted the 99 Problems hitmaker from
his track Cold, which normally reads, "Lucky I ain't had Jay drop
him from the team," and references his new bride's ex-husband Kris
Humphries.
He then switched up the lyrics on Blood on the Leaves, in which he
usually raps, "I don't give a damn if you used to talk to Jay Z/He
ain't with you, he with Beyonce, you need to stop actin' lazy," to
just, "You need to stop actin' crazy". And he also reportedly left
out his moniker on Touch the Sky.
Following the concert, a fan commented about the omissions,
writing, "First time he (skipped Jay Z's name), I (thought), 'Ehh
that's odd, maybe he's just letting the crowd finish it whatever.'
Then (Kanye) skipped his name again... Definitely obvious and
intentional."
Meanwhile, Kanye's new mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, has spoken out
about Beyonce and Jay Z's absence from the wedding, saying, "There
was so much commotion and excitement, I never really gave that a
second thought.
"If you had been there, you would have thought that was the last
thing on anyone's mind. (I) just assumed they were working."
