Jay-Z is world famous and very well respected, so it makes sense the people he can call friends are equally as known and revered. He seems to have upset one such person, who was playing no games with Hovito when they ran into each other at Leonardo DiCaprio’s birthday party earlier this week in NYC. He was so serious, in fact, that Jay tried to “joke his way out of the situation” (I can hear his laugh now) and even Beyonce tried to jump in, but his friend was MAD! Damn! Details on who and why below!
Robert De Niro was PISSED Jay hadn’t returned his SIX calls! Apparently Jay had promised to record a song for him for the TriBeCa Film Festival and was trying to talk details, but Jay was giving him the run around.
“Bob was sitting at a table, and when Jay-Z went over to say hello, De Niro told Jay that he never called him back,” a source says.
“Bob wasn’t in any mood to make polite conversation,” the spy says. “He told Jay that if somebody calls you six times, you call them back. It doesn’t matter who you are, that is just rude.”
When Jay-Z tried to make a joke of it, saying he is terrible on the phone, a source says, “De Niro kept telling him that he thinks he’s the man, but that he was disrespectful.’ ”
De Niro’s sources insist “t was not a heated discussion,” but it sounds pretty heated to me! Hopefully they sorted out the details! That’s not some beef Hov wants to have LOL!
