scott boras responds to jay-z Diss

Jay-Z’s new album Magna Carta Holy Grail is set to be released this coming Tuesday, June 8. The rapper very directly disses sports agent Scott Boras with a lyric in the song titled “Crown.” Boras was the former agent of New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, also mentioned.

In the song, Hov raps the following:

“Scott Boras, you over baby/Robinson Cano, you coming with me.”

The lyrics are a reference to Scott Boras losing Cano to the rapper. When Jay-Z started his own agency Roc Nation Sports, a number of athletes jumped ship on their agents to sign with him instead. The first to bail and go for representation by Jay-Z was Cano.

Boras kept his response to the disrespect classy by saying simply, “My music taste, I love jazz. I’m a huge Bernie Williams fan.”

Hopefully those wise words will put an end to the supposed “feud” between the two. Look out though, Boras is not the only person Jay-Z mentions in the same song. He apparently also takes a jab at Lil Wayne and raps about NFL investigations. There are sure to be more reactions from all parties involved once the album officially drops.
