With the run-up to the highly-anticipated release of The Blueprint 3, Jay-Z's been making a wave of media rounds to raise hype. He headed to London recently to sit for an interview with the legendary radio personality Tim Westwood for Radio One. Westwood's known for asking the questions everybody wants to hear, and he didn't disappoint this time around. Jay addressed several current issues in his life - here are the highlights:
On Game talking mess about Jay-Z and Beyonce:
“He’s a groupie. Tell me exactly what I said. I said, 'I'm not talking about...' . Is that a diss? I'm not talking about you. 'Oh you hurt my feelings...' Tell groupie to get over it. If that's a diss, wear that. Tell ‘Groupie’ to get over it.”
On Chris Brown’s recent video apology to Rihanna, his fans and everyone else:
“We're all flawed human beings. All a person can do is apologize. Everyone should be allowed to make mistakes. It happens.”
So there's no truth to the rumor that he personally saw to it that Chris Brown was kept from performing at the BET Awards?
“That’s the silliest rumor I’ve ever heard. First let me categorically deny that, that’s not even my style. If I have a problem with Chris brown, I have a problem with Chris Brown. I haven’t said anything live or behind the scenes. I don’t agree with what he did and that’s it. But as far as not letting him perform on BET, that’s ridiculous, that’s stupid and that’s a sucker move. I wouldn’t do it. And people commenting on rumors, that’s a sucker move.”
Jay went on to confirm that there's a single with Kanye & Rihanna on the way, which he may be releasing as early as Friday.
