Memphis Bleek, one of the closest figures to JAY-Z during the Roc-A-Fella Records era, has a unique insight into the mogul’s world. As Hov’s right-hand man during the peak of his career, Bleek’s opinions carry weight in the hip hop community, and his latest remarks have fans buzzing.
On September 10, Bleek addressed the growing tension between Nicki Minaj and JAY-Z following the Super Bowl Halftime Show controversy, which left the industry stunned by Minaj’s sudden animosity toward Hov.
While many were caught off guard by Minaj’s harsh words, Memphis Bleek believes there’s a clear reason behind her disdain for the rap icon. Taking to Twitter, Bleek didn’t directly call out Minaj, but his message seemed aimed in her direction.
Bleek reposted a 2009 Hot 97 interview clip where JAY-Z opened up about how certain artists get upset with him. In the interview, Hov says, “They don’t say I did anything to them. They say I didn’t do something for them.”
Memphis Bleek added his own commentary, implying that Nicki Minaj might be among those who feel slighted by JAY-Z’s lack of support. He tweeted, “N**gas is mad mad.”
This subtle but pointed remark has reignited the conversation around Minaj’s feelings toward JAY-Z, suggesting that her frustrations may stem from unmet expectations rather than personal conflict.
