Jay-Z responded to Faizon Love’s claim that he lied about his past as a drug dealer during his verse on Pusha T’s new track “Neck & Wrist.” Although Love’s comments date back almost two years, this is the first time Hov has addressed them.

“The phase I’m on, love, I wouldn’t believe it either/I’d be like, ‘Jay-Z’s a cheater,’ I wouldn’t listen to reason either/All I know is he’s a felon, how is he selling,” Jay raps on the new song.

Jay-Z initially came under fire from Faizon during an appearance on the Hip-Hop Uncensored podcast in 2020.

“I like Jay-Z,” Faizon Love said at the time. “I like him as a guy and the whole thing he created about this fake dope dealing. That’s when I stopped liking him. This n***a ain’t sold no cocaine in his life—I don’t think he’s ever won a fight.”

Faizon Love Blames Street Violence Partly On Jay-Z’s “Drug Lord” Lifestyle

Faizon Love attributes escalating acts of violence in part to Jay-Z. It’s common for rappers to refer to gangs and street life in their lyrical references. Faizon says Jay-Z is partly to blame for the violence in the rap industry because he glorified a drug lord lifestyle he didn’t lead.

In addition, Faizon Love referred to Jay as a puppet after learning about Jay-Z’s behind-the-scenes business. Jay-Z’s former street partner, De-Haven, had to handle the matter.

Hov addresses the death of The Notorious B.I.G. in a new verse on Pusha T’s new single, “Neck & Wrist.” Jay-Z seemingly responds to Faizon and those who claim that he would not have reached the level of success he has achieved today if Biggie were still alive.

A rap supergroup called The Commission never materialized in the late 1990s. The collective would have included Biggie, Jay-Z, Puffy, Lance “Un” Rivera, Lil’ Cease, and Charlie Baltimore. Biggie references the group on the track “What’s Beef” from the album Life After Death.
