Jay-Z & Kanye West
have been embroiled in a long-standing cold war for nearly 2 years.
But on September 8th ‘Ye tweeted that a sequel to the Hip Hop
super duo’s 2011 Watch The Throne album is on its way.
“throne2 coming soon,” he wrote.
However, the fact ‘Ye doesn’t mention Hov’s name is suspect. The bad
blood between the two started to boil in 2016 when Kanye insinuated Jay
was a bad friend during a concert in Seattle.
A month later, he called out Jay and his wife Beyoncé mid-rant at a Sacramento show. From there, Hov went on to diss Kanye multiple times on last year’s 4:44.
In an interview with Rap Radar last August, Hov revealed the reason behind his rift with Kanye but still referred to him as his “little brother.”
“What really hurt me is you can’t bring my kids & my wife into it,”
he said. “Kanye’s my little brother. He’s talked about me a hundred
times. He made a song called ‘Big Brother.’ We’ve gotten past bigger
issues, but you brought my family into it. Now, that’s a problem with
me. That’s a real, real problem.”
“He know it’s a problem ’cause me and him would have been talked
about it. We would have been resolved our issues, but he know he crossed
the line.”
Perhaps the two have reconciled or it’s possible Jay doesn’t have anything to do with a Watch The Throne sequel.
Whatever the case, Kanye is clearly up to something. We’ll just have to wait & see.
