Jaÿ-Z appeared to take a freestyle shot at Drake, Ye, Nicki Minaj, Dame Dash and Tory Lanez at the 2026 Roots Picnic.
On May 30, Hov headlined the annual concert at Belmont Plateau in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. Before heading into his highly anticipated scene, Giga had a few words to say. The Roc Nation frontman treated the crowd to a surprising freestyle acapella performance and took aim at some of his critics.
Jaÿ seemed to respond to Drake’s collective criticism on “Iceman”: “Ni**a, I’m up 10/Chart error, champ, you gotta look up again/Ni**as look up Hov, I never looked up ’em/Their hacks got your press, gangsta, go talk ’em tough/Don’t talk to me
Mrs. Dash also has a bar.
“Another guy is clumsy, wonder how I get blamed?/Ni**as teeth falling out of his mouth, somehow I’m the one who did it, it’s a murder mystery, gang,” Hough spat.
Jaÿ also seemed to take aim at Nicki Minaj, saying: “That lady is back, she sounds like she loves his/her Ken so much that she can’t even take care of their kids, enough is enough.”
Ye was not immune, with Jay seemingly addressing the Chicago rapper’s insults about his children last year.
“Have you ever heard of a child prodigy?/Aren’t you ashamed that my child is one of them?” Jiga raps. Y’all wanna cause trouble/I’m really in trouble, ask me how/You thugs with your thumbs again/Everybody thinks they’re crazy/You’re not crazy, look how sane he acts in front of me, you’re a shrink. “
Damn has since reacted to being shadowed by Jay. Dame shared an AI photo on Instagram on Sunday (May 31), showing Hov playing the cartoon character Goofy.
