Hip-hop’s next future star took the news of him being passed on Jay’s first single in stride. In fact, he told the homie Keith Murphy, he never thought he would get that look.
“I don’t know who came up with that rumor to be honest, but I always knew what Jay’s first single was going to be. Me and Jay did a lot of work together. Maybe at one point he was considering doing it and someone got over-excited and put out a press release that I was going to be on the first single.”
