Rap mogul Jay Z has hit back in a new song against a conservative commentator who criticised his drug-dealing past.
The hip-hop star includes a recording from Tomi Lahren, a host on pundit Glenn Beck’s network The Blaze, who had a acked Jay Z’s wife Beyoncé over her performance at this year’s Super Bowl.
The host had accused Beyoncé of using the top TV event to promote the militant Black Panther movement in her performance of Formation, whose video takes aim at police brutality.
“Your husband was a drug dealer for 14 years. He sold crack cocaine,” Lahren says to discredit Beyoncé in a snippet sampled into Drug Dealers Anonymous, a collaboration between Jay Z and rapper Pusha T that came out Tuesday night.
Jay Z then offers his own take on the 14-year period that apparently refers to the time before he switched to music in his mid-20s, boasting about how much wealth he has amassed.
