Don’t believe everything your earlobe captures
Jay’s nemesis, De-Haven Irby, is back with more blasts from the past. He’s now saying that Hov’s drug dealing claim needs more people.
Did you and Jay sell drugs together?
No, he ain’t do much selling drugs. I did all that work. He was just a good dude to be around. He was one of my best friends. I taught him some things, but I mainly kept him from being out on the street a lot. Whatever was mine was his. So, we shared clothes, we shared a whole bunch of stuff. We had sex with the same women plenty of times. We both got burnt! We had the drip. My mom took him to the clinic. My mom also got him out of jail.
Does Jay exaggerate his drug-dealing in his songs?
I’m telling you he overexaggerates. He was there to see things, but doing some big-time Frank Lucas–type thing? No. He nickled and dimed, but nothing on a major scale. He definitely didn’t sell nothin’ in Marcy. Spanish Jose, who he mentions a lot [in his songs], was a friend of mine. Jay didn’t have no affiliation to Spanish Jose.
You’re saying Jay appropriated your story?
He says it himself. He’s been talking about me since day one, on a lot of his albums. He mentioned me on The Black Album, and I hadn’t seen him in years.
Well, Jay said it best: “It’s only entertainment.”

…Again with this shit.
Who cares?
Really fam.
Jay may not be real (and IMO, I think it’s a given that 99.9% of the industry isn’t real), but you’re sayng all this to say what?
You’re mad at Jay because basically because he blew up, and didn’t bring you along for the ride. Funny how none of this was relevant back when you were still waiting on a hand out from Jay. I guess him being “fake” didn’t matter as much then right?
I don’t get how you can attack someone’s character in interviews, preach endlessly about how fake they are, how this person doesn’t mean shit to you now, THEN you go and WRITE BOOKS about that person….about stuff that happened YEARS AGO no less.
Dude, you sound like a male Superhead right now.
No one cares, and that will be proven once your book flops.
Let the dumb shit go…and get on with your life.
It’s fucking disgusting to see grown ass men acting like this.

youngwizz Says:
jay lost (again)? man, you stupid. this isn’t about drug dealing, this is about some dumb motherfucker with too much time on his hands. jay is top 5 of ALL TIME and that is undeniable. it don’t matter where these stories came from and i don’t give a fuck if he sold drugs or not, that’s not why i listen to jay-z. yo riz, you can do better than this, i come to this blog because i love hip hop, not bullshit gossip. with that said, you doin’ a good job and i love the site, but man, this kinda shit really gets me going
