One of the more interesting shots Hov sent, was one to L. Londell McMillan, Prince's former lawyer. On the Frank Ocean-featured "Caught Their Eyes," JAY-Z raps:

"I sat down with Prince, eye to eye

He told me his wishes before he died

Now, Londell McMillan, he must be color blind

They only see green from them purple eyes

They eyes hide, they eyes high

My eyes wide shut to all the lies

These industry niggas, they always been fishy

But ain't no Biggie, no lazy eye, huh

This guy had 'Slave' on his face

You think he wanted the masters with his masters?"

The lyrics came after the Prince estate sued TIDAL then allowed other streaming services like Spotify and Apple to access Prince's catalog.

Well a couple of days after the song was released, McMillan has responded to the burn. He went to Twitter and sent out this tweet:

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

What makes this tweet even more interesting is the fact that McMillan deleted it soon after.
