Jay-Z takes aim at Kanye, Nicki Minaj and Drake in Roots Picnic freestyle

Jay-Z unleashed a scathing freestyle while headlining the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, calling out Drake, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and others. Rapping about Minaj, he said: “That lady back on the stuff, she sound like she in love with ’em / Her Ken[neth Petty] can’t even … Take they kids … *Tch* enough of them.” He also referenced Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, who was convicted of attempted rape in the first degree for an assault of a then-16-year-old girl.

The Roc Nation founder turned his focus to Drake as well, delivering the lines: “The jig is up, n–a I’m up 10 / wrong chart champ, n–as looked up to Hov, I never looked up to them.” Billboard noted that Drake’s album “ICEMAN” going No. 1 pushed him ahead of Jay for the most No.
