Jay-Z Finally Addresses Robert De Niro Beef

You know Jay-Z is into a whole lot of things now; mingling with actors, business moguls, sportsmen and not just rappers anymore. So, it shouldn't be shocking to read that Jay-Z has beef with legendary actor, Robert De Niro. Apparently De Niro needed Jay to do a soundtrack for the Tribecca Film Festival last year, and he kept trying to get Jay on the line, but with no response. Days and weeks went by, but Jay-Z still didn't reply Bobby De Niro's calls. And then they met at a social gathering, and Jay tried to play the situation down, but De Niro went off on Jay-Z and not even Beyonce walking over to the table could calm him down. Word out was that De Niro told Jay..."if somebody calls you six times, you call them back. It doesn't matter who you are, that is just rude."

During the interview he had on the The Breakfast Club yesterday (with DJ Envy, Charlemagne tha God, and Angela Yee), he touched on the issue-




"I treat people based on who they are. Who they 'really' are. Not the name, not 'Robert De Niro.' But who you are as a person. And it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who you are. Everyone has to be respectful, everyone has to be a human being. No one's above [that]. We're all human beings and we all have to be respectful to one another."






Hmm! Is Jay-Z saying he treated Robert De Niro based on who he really is. Is he saying De Niro is an asshole in real life?

Robert De Niro Mad At Jay-Z

At a recent birthday party thrown for Leonardo DiCaprio, legendary actor, Robert De Niro had some harsh words for Jay-Z. Apparently, Jay-Z hadn't returned his calls based on a business the both were meant to get into.




The confrontation between the two stemmed from various phone calls De Niro made to Jay-Z that went unanswered. The actor was hoping to discuss a song Jay-Z was to record for the annual Tribeca Film Festival.

 
“Bob was sitting at a table, and when Jay-Z went over to say hello, De Niro told Jay that he never called him back,” a source revealed to the New York Post.

“Bob wasn’t in any mood to make polite conversation. He told Jay that if somebody calls you six times, you call them back. It doesn’t matter who you are, that is just rude,” another source added.

Those in attendance at the birthday celebration revealed that the confrontation between the two men reportedly reached a point where even Beyonce had to intervene.(hiphopdx.com)
