The tweet was largely criticized through quote-retweets and in the media, inspiring stories on Digg and Yahoo! News. The tweet gained over 13,700 retweets and 3,000 likes in just under two months. On September 3rd, 2021, Twitter user made a post saying people who pick the money "don't understand," saying the dinner with Jay-Z is the right choice because of his business success and "He’ll give you the blueprint on being wealthy and successful" (shown below). He also suggests Jay-Z would think you're stupid if you chose the dinner over the money. For example, on February 1st, 2018, YouTuber KevOnStage posted a video examining the answers from the viral post by Twitter user generally using the video to make fun of people who choose the dinner, gaining over 14,800 views in three years (shown below). Jay suggested that an earlier reunion between Diddy and rapper Lox/D-Block had inspired him, and he brought out Nas “to deafening applause.” The two stood next to each other for two minutes of cheers before launching into a fifteen-minute set that included “The World Is Yours,” “Street Dreams,” and more.The question was occasionally asked by web users over the following years with people generally agreeing that the money is the better option despite Jay-Z's business success. Jay and Nas buried the hatchet during Power 105.1’s Power House concert, per Billboard. It got shut down – seemingly for good – in 2005. “Mom put in a call and said, ‘That went too far.’ And she’s never, ever called me about music,” said Jay, per HipHopDX. Most gave the round to Nas, but Jay-Z fired back with “Supa Ugly,” which saw Jay brag about an alleged three-year affair with Nas’ girlfriend at the time, Carmen Bryan (Jay bragging about affairs seems odd in the post- Lemonade era, but these were the early 2000s.) Most listeners thought the response was weak, and Jay’s own mother called him and told him to apologize. Jay Z and Nas on the same track /FjnhM7xqwS “Y’all n- deal with emotions like bitches/ What’s sad is I love you cause you’re my brother, you traded your soul for riches.” Jay-Z chats to a woman who fails to recognise him on the New York subway as he catches a tube train to his own concert in Brooklyn. Nas would then insinuate that Jay copied his style and sold out. Jay-Z asked by subway passenger: Are you famous - video. “I got this, locked since Nine-One (1991), I am the truest/ Name a rapper that I ain’t influenced,” he rapped. “ So yeah, I sampled your voice, you was using it wrong / You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song (Woo!).” It was considered a fatal blow – until Nas unleashed “Ether” off his 2001 album, Stillmatic. “That’s why your (lame!) career’s come to an end / it’s only so long fake thugs can pretend,” rapped Jay on the track. The pressure from Nas saw Jay respond with “ Takeover,” first as a freestyle and then as a polished track on 2001’s The Blueprint. “It’s not a shot at him but he inspired that line.” Jay seemingly shot back at Nas on “Where I’m From,” rapping, “I’m from where n-– pull your card, and argue all day about/Who’s the best MC’s, Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas.” Some would claim that Roc-A-Fella artist/Jay-Z protégé Memphis Bleek was brought in to feud with Nas, but things went problematic when Nas dropped the “ Stillmatic Freestyle.” Along with the unfortunate homophobic insults, Nas called out the “fake king of New York,” before rapping, “You show off, I count off when you sample my voice / I rule you, before, you used to rap like the Fu-Schnickens / Nas designed your Blueprint, who you kidding?” Jay-Z, Nas, and DJ Khaled - all on the same track. It wasn’t a shot at Jay, but it was just saying that’s the minimum you gotta have,” Nas told Complex. I got rid of my Lexus at that point, and I was looking for the next best thing. “I saw JAY-Z driving a Lexus with the TVs in them.

Nas’ second album, It Was Written, starts with “The Message,” which contained the line “Lex with TV sets the minimum,” which was a shot at Hova (who made many references to the luxury brand on Reasonable Doubt.)
The schism began in 1996, according to High Snobiety’s timeline of the feud, after Nas reportedly failed to show up to record verses for Jay’s “Bring It On,” off of Reasonable Doubt. Long before Pusha T versus Drake or Taylor Swift versus Katy Perry (or Taylor Swift versus Kanye West) were the biggest feuds in music, Jay Z and Nas’s rivalry were the definition of beef. #SorryNotSorry Tkani Finau April 30, 2021 While Beyoncé didn’t appear in the song’s accompanying music video, the video does address her surprising cameo: once she sings “Hey,” Jay-Z looks behind his ‘s little “heyyy” and her background vocals on Sorry Not Sorry are all I needed to get through the rest of the year.
But Beyoncé does more than say “hey.” She also lends her beautiful vocals to harmonize on “SORRY NOT SORRY,” which solves the mystery as to who Harmonies by The Hive is (one of the featured artists on the song, along with James Fauntleroy).
