“50 going at Diddy hard, man. But how you feel about the people that are saying Jay-Z is next?”

To this, Jamar responded: “You know, I will say that Jay-Z, if he was doing ill like that, he was more quiet about it. You know what I mean? But then, if we be real with ourselves, it was kinda abnormal when he got with Beyonce. She was pretty young when he got with her.”

Jamar referenced Jay-Z’s long-standing friendship with Diddy, which is currently under scrutiny as legal proceedings against Combs are ongoing. It is well known that Jay-Z has had a close personal and professional relationship with Combs

Jamar also hinted that Beyonce and Jay-Z began their relationship when the Destiny’s Child singer was only 18, and Jay-Z was 30. According to Elle magazine, they first met in 2001 and started dating in November of that year, when she was still a member of Destiny’s Child.

In his conversation on The Art of Dialogue, Lord Jamar discussed the friendship between Jay-Z and Diddy, as well as Jay-Z’s relationship with Beyonce. He remarked:

“I feel like your girl Jaguar Wright might have been one of the first to really put his name out there. I don’t know enough.”

He added: “I’m not going to lie. When certain people get to a certain level of fame, I don’t know why, but you start to hear little sh*t about certain people sometimes… If you really think about most of your top celebrities, Black celebrities, rappers… I feel like I’ve heard a rumor damn near about all of them…. Have I heard a little sh*t about Jay-Z? Yup.”

Jamar also noted that while Jay-Z might have been involved in questionable activities, he was much more discreet about them. He found it “kind of abnormal” that Jay-Z started dating Beyonce when she was so young. He further mentioned Foxy Brown, saying she was 16 when she and Jay-Z were reportedly dating, while Jay-Z was 25.

This discussion followed an October 3 interview with American singer Jaguar Wright on Piers Morgan Uncensored, where she claimed that both “Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters.” She further described the rappers as “victim-making machines.”
