Jay-Z Responds to Accusations of Using Anti-Semitic Lyrics on '4:44' Album

Jay-Z shut down accusations of anti-Semitism after fans criticized a lyric about Jewish people on his song "The Story of O.J."

The track, which is featured on the rapper's new album 4:44, includes the lyrics, "You wanna know what's more important than throwin' away money at a strip club? Credit / You ever wonder why Jewish people own all the property in America? This is how they did it."

Jay-Z, 47, addressed the accusations of anti-Semitism during a candid interview with Rap Radar podcast hosts Elliott Wilson and Brian "B.Dot" Miller on Friday, August 18. "It's hard for me to take that serious because I've exaggerated every black image in the world," he said.

"If even you, as the Jewish community, if you don't have a problem with the exaggerations of the guy eating watermelon and all the things that was happening [in the 'Story of O.J.' music video], if you don't have a problem with that, and that's the only line you pick out, then you are being a hypocrite," the Roc Nation founder continued. "I can't address that in a real way. i got to leave that where it is."
