Jay-Z is a legendary figure in the world of hip-hop and a cultural icon whose influence extends far beyond the realms of music. With a career spanning over three decades, Jay-Z has cemented his status as one of the most successful and influential artists in the industry. With his distinctive flow and thought-provoking lyrics, Jay-Z has not only shaped the sound of modern rap but has also made an indelible mark on modern pop culture.

Apart from his raps, the 4:44 rapper has garnered significant attention for his feuds with other celebrities, which are mainly composed of his fellow rappers. But one of his feuds with veteran actor Robert De Niro invited extra attention from both the public and the media. As per reports, this feud between Jay-Z and De Niro started at the birthday bash of Leonardo DiCaprio.

“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. Bob wasn’t in any mood to make polite conversation. 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. Beyoncé came over, but that didn’t calm Bob down. It was the talk of the party. Everyone was saying there’s only one star in New York bigger and badder than Jay-Z, and that’s Robert De Niro. He can be quite scary when he’s angry.”

The clash between Jay-Z and Robert De Niro became the talk of the party and soon of the media as well. While De Niro never publicly confirmed the details of the incident, the rapper subtly acknowledged the existence of some rough patches between him and the acclaimed actor. Though the feud is reported to have ended in 2016 when the duo was seen together at the amfAR gala.
