Within the last few months, rap mogul Jay-Z has come under fire from two ladies who looked up to him and had major respect for him. Those two ladies being two former protoge's of Jay's, Foxy Brown and Teairra Mari. Jay-Z found himself the target of strong criticism from ladies and after all that, we all waited for Jay to respond... and now he finally has.
During a recent interview with AllHipHop.com, Jay-Z replied to the accusations levied at him by both artists, whom he personally signed during his reign as CEO of Roc-A-Fella and President of Def Jam.
“As far as Foxy or Teairra Marì, these are people that I have given chances to. It’s understandable that they would be upset, but you got to look at it from my point of view as well,” Jay-Z told AllHipHop.com. "I gave Teairra Marì the same shot I gave Rihanna. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.”
Foxy also was just on the cover of XXL magazine, and inside, she talked about the lack of support or even communication from Jay during her incarceration. Emphasizing that everyone else in her circle made time besides him.
“There are times when I just really needed him and he just wasn’t there,” a disappointed Foxy disclosed. “That broke my heart more than anything. When they sent me to jail, I just knew he would be there, everyone came. But he never showed up.”
R&B upstart Tierra Marì is equally upset at Jay’s absence from her career. In a July interview with AllHipHop.com, Marì expressed her hurt that the man she called a "father figure" would not even call to let her know she was being dropped from Roc-A-Fella Records. Jay-Z defended his actions from the perspective of a businessman.
“You know that stuff is going to happen, eventually it’s going to happen,” Jay-Z told AllHipHop.com. “What I’m happy about is, that no matter what people say, no one has ever said that I am dishonest or that I have taken one dime from them…I’ve never cheated anyone out of a dime. No one’s ever said that, right?”
Way to defend yourself Jay!

Quiet as kept, or maybe not so quiet as kept, Jay is a snack, a very talented, very swagger-ful, very rich, snake...
I'll still buy his albums, i just know he's a snake... the speculation has been there for a few years, everyone has said something about him, cept those who still make something off him, or from him (i.e. Memphis Bleek).
Beans eluded to it, everyone knows the story behind him Biggs and Dame, Jaz-O, Dehaven, etc etc etc
I just ask myself, can everyone be wrong? but then i ask, how did Kanye succeed when the rest have complaints?
dammit i meant *snake (not snack) lol...
