“I DO NOT RESPECT YOUR GANGSTER” — Jay Electronica seemingly shades Birdman to defend Jay-Z over Super Bowl drama

Jay Electronica seemingly threw shade at Birdman in defense of Jay-Z regarding the controversy surrounding the Super Bowl 59 halftime show. The rapper took to X on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, and put out a series of tweets. He lashed out at everyone critical of Hov, including Birdman, for choosing Kendrick Lamar to headline the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show instead of Lil Wayne.

Electronica further hit back at Hurricane Chris' critical comments on 50 Cent's Baton Rouge Humor & Harmony festival by referencing the former's murder case. Apart from being critical of people getting mad at a football game, the rapper also seemingly called out Birdman and Cash Money's treatment of Hot Boys member Turk. Jay Electronica wrote:

"N***as got all this smoke for Hov but they ain't got no smoke for David Geffen and jimmy iovine and lucían grange and lyor cohen etcetera etcetera. I DO NOT RESPECT YOUR GANGSTER. You p***y."

Jay Electronica was critical of the people being mad over a football game

Jay Electronica had some choice words for Birdman and everyone else who criticized Jay-Z for allegedly snubbing Lil Wayne off a Super Bowl halftime show headline spot. As quoted earlier, the rapper pointed out that he did not respect their gangster.

In a follow-up tweet, Electronica claimed that he was not sorry for one single thing and that it was the son of man against the "Synagogue of Satan." He proclaimed his love for "Allah in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad," Mahdi, Christ, Elijah Muhammad, and Louis Farrakhan, noting that he would never let his city down.

Last month, Hurricane Chris criticized 50 Cent's Humor & Harmony festival in Baton Rouge, LA, for not having any New Orleans artists perform. In response to Chris, Jay Electronica seemingly referenced Chris' past murder case in a tweet that read:

"Yall better stop respecting these false gangstas who will kill they brother at the gas station over a few words or a few dollar and then run and throw they gun in the bushes when the police come. Like @wesleymuhammad labeled these n***as correctly… you bully C**NS. WE DO NOT RESPECT YOUR GANGSTA."

He further alleged shots at Birdman were taken when Jay Electronica mentioned the Hot Boys' debut album Get It How U Live and complimented 50 Cent's efforts in Shreveport. He stated that the In Da Club hitmaker "opened an entire industry in shreveport" when the people he was criticizing were "slave c**ning over a football game."

Jay also managed to take shots at B.G., Birdman, and the rest of the Cash Money crew for their allegedly "dirty and lame" treatment of Hot Boys member Turk. Jay Electronica claimed that if people put 10 percent of the negative energy surrounding a football game into a unifying for a common cause, "our ppl would be free overnight." He proclaimed:

"The DA put all our families in jail for life over nothing. The synagogue of Satan blew the levees and killed off and moved out our families from the city. The whole city been gentrified. They tore down all the projects. And n***as ready to go to war with they own self over a FOOTBALL GAME. WAAAAKE UUUUUUPPPPP. We all we got!"

Finally, Jay Electronica proclaimed he would die in the war with "the common enemy" for Birdman, B.G, or Wayne and would do the same for Jay-Z. The rapper said they were all they got before asking who was "man enough to say enough was enough."

When Kendrick Lamar was announced as the headliner for the Super Bowl 59 halftime show, the hype was through the roof. Lamar was red hot after a triumphant beef with Drake, the monumental success of his diss track Not Like Us, and the Pop Out concert that followed it.

However, a plethora of people, including celebrities, felt Lil Wayne should have headlined the event as Super Bowl 50 was set to take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many thought it was fitting since Lil Wayne was a New Orleans native, and prominent artists like Nicki Minaj, Birdman, Drake, and Cam'ron, amongst others, showed their support for Wayne.

Jay-Z was on the receiving end of major backlash as his company, Roc Nation, was in charge of co-producing and organizing the event alongside Apple Music and the NFL. Birdman took to X on September 9 to state:

"These ni**az Pus*i @NICKIMINAJ @Drake @LilTunechi YMCMB. I'm make these n***az respek us on Gladys 🐐 Hatin s**t 4real."

Lil Wayne, the person the controversy is based around, has yet to comment. Jay-Z has also not addressed the backlash as of yet.
