Faizon Love Talks About Jay-Z Seemingly Responding To Him Claiming The Rapper Lied About Being A Big Time Drug Dealer
In the past comedian Faizon Love made comments about Jay-Z history of being a drug-dealer not being factual. The rapper and business mogul seemingly addressed the actor on a Pusha T recently released song “Neck & Wrist” featuring Jay-Z. On the record Jay-Z seems to respond to Love’s comments saying:
“The phase I’m on, love, I wouldn’t believe it either/I’d be like, ‘Jay-Z’s a cheater,’ I wouldn’t listen to reason either/All I know is he’s a felon, how is he selling.”
Love told Vlad TV, when he first heard the song he didn’t think the verse was directed toward him.
“I didn’t get it at first, ’cause it’s some rap thing, and it’s not clear,” Love said “First of all, I’m not a rapper. I have no bars, at all. … I listened to it. He didn’t really diss me.” The actor, who is best known for his roles in “Friday” and the “Parenthood” series, went on to say he is unbothered by the lyrics despite what anyone else may think. “Back at you, Love. We all love. It’s all love now, you know what I’m saying? I think I ruffled some feathers.”
In the past Love has talked about his belief that the rapper made up his persona of selling narcotics in New York City.
“I like Jay-Z. I like him as a guy, and the whole thing he created about this fake dope dealing, that’s when I stopped liking him,” Love said while being interviewed on “Hip Hop Uncensored” podcast a couple of years ago “This n***a ain’t sold no cocaine in his life — I don’t think he’s ever won a fight.”
During the same time period Love spoke again about his beliefs when sitting down with Vlad TV. “When Jay-Z creates this whole ‘I’m a drug dealer, I’m a drug lord’ [persona], these kids say, ‘We gotta do it, too, to be like Jay-Z.’ Not knowing that this is all made up sh-t.”
However, the rapper has never shied away from speaking about days selling drugs.. “Most people don’t make that much money selling drugs, but everyone thinks that they could be the one that really makes it and gets successful,” he told Vanity Fair in 2013.
