Kanye West hit with diss from ex-friend who once called him 'brother'

Once, the duo of Kanye West and Jay-Z were a dominating pair in the industry. They had several hit collaborations.

Both of them were deep at the time. But a rupture came.

The two titans split, who once had a family ties, shunned each other.

Now, Jay-Z, it seems, has dissed Ye over his return to solo performance after a hiatus of six years.

At the Root Picnic festival, Hov—the rapper's nickname—rapped in a 4-min blistering freestyle.

"My children is some of them, have you n***** no shame?" Jay-Z spitted bars, firing back at West's claims about the rapper's kids.

Hov did not stop there.

He further rapped, "Y'all trying to get under skin, I really get under skin."

"Ask Un how I'm playing. Everybody thinks they're the ones insane. You're no maniac."

By 'Un,' Jay-Z referred to Lance 'Un' Rivera, a music executive he was accused of stabbing in 1999.
