JAY-Z Addresses Kanye on Meek Mill's New Album 'CHAMPIONSHIPS'

HOV name-drops Kanye and MAGA hats on Meek Mill's new album.

Meek Mill's CHAMPIONSHIPS album has some words for Kanye West. And, no, they don't come from the Philly rapper.

Shortly after the project hit streaming services, fans began dissecting lines in the "What's Free" track featuring Rick Ross and JAY-Z. Hov can be heard spitting a number of lines that reference Kanye's recent support of Donald Trump and his affinity for the MAGA hat:

Though they were once considered a hip-hop power duo, JAY and Kanye's bromance has deteriorated over the past several years. There was hope that the two were on good terms after Ye posted a photo of the JAY and Beyoncé with the caption, "Famleeeeee."

"I don’t think [Kanye] addressed anything that had to do with what was tough on justice reform. He wasn’t prepared for it, and he shouldn’t have done it. I had phone calls with Kanye for hours.
