\u201cThe line clearly meant don\u2019t pit me against my brothers no matter what our differences are (red hat) now go pick up Meek album . Drake and Meek on there together .\u201d
The album features appearances from Drake, JAY-Z, Cardi B, Kodak Black, Fabolous, 21 Savage, Ella Mai, and more. Much of the album deals with Meek's legal issues over the issues. (After spending nearly five months in jail, Meek Mill was released in April.)
However, after the album dropped, much of the talk was centered around the song "What's Free." Produced by Tarik Azzouz and StreetRunner, the track features Meek, Rick Ross, and JAY-Z rapping over a flip of The Notorious B.I.G.'s"What's Beef."
On JAY's dense verse he addresses MAGA Kanye era by rapping:
It's a pretty slick series of lines. And it's not entirely clear if JAY is shading Kanye or shading the media:
\u201cI took Hov to mean that him and Kanye are the MJ and Prince of the game and there\u2019s no way he\u2019s gonna compare spouses, he\u2019s not that messy (anymore) so that\u2019s gotta be against somebody else. Or maybe I\u2019m just completely wrong, that\u2019s possible.\u201d
\u201cWait...Am I crazy or is this not about Kanye? He\u2019s saying don\u2019t pit him and Kanye, two black men, against one another \u2014 and then the rest could maybe be about Trump/Melania?\u201d
\u201cMaybe in the minority here, but I don't think Jay is taking a shot at Ye, he's saying he won't be manipulated into being used by MAGA, Media & others as a prop vs. YE because he is smarter than that\u201d

\u201cIf anything he is telling YE they are manipulating him against his own people, like a house N*gger, and Jay is saying they can't do him like that because he sees what they are trying to do. .\u201d
