😤 “He Sabotaged DMX & Hid Behind Beyoncé!” – Nas Drops BOMBS on Jay-Z’s Petty Power Moves 🧨

Nas and DMX weren’t just lyrical titans—they were truth-tellers in an industry built on smoke and mirrors.

And now, with both legends’ legacies being re-examined, Nas is making it crystal clear: Jay-Z has been playing a long, calculated game, and many of his biggest wins came at the expense of the very people who

helped build the culture he thrives in.

During a recent interview, Nas opened up about his complicated relationship with Jay and dropped an explosive truth bomb—Jay-Z has spent years deliberately timing his album drops to overshadow other artists,

especially when he sees them as a threat.

And one of the biggest casualties? DMX.

Let’s rewind.

In the early 2000s, DMX was a monster in the game—dropping five consecutive #1 albums, a feat no other rapper had achieved.

He was Def Jam.

But then Jay-Z took over as president in 2004, and everything changed.

DMX revealed that once Jay had power, he used it not to elevate the label’s flagship artist but to quietly push him out.

According to X, Jay acted friendly at first—calling him “dog” and pretending to support the sixth album rollout.

But when the time came, Jay mysteriously vanished.

The release was delayed, the single had no momentum, and the label suddenly didn’t know what was going on.

It was sabotage, plain and simple.

Why? Because Jay had come out of “retirement” and didn’t want to share the spotlight with anyone—especially not someone like X who could still outsell him.

But DMX wasn’t the only one who saw through the act.

Nas had his own battles with Jay—some public, some painfully silent.

When Nasir, his long-awaited Kanye West–produced album, dropped in 2018, fans were hyped.

This was supposed to be a return to greatness.

But just 24 hours later, Jay-Z and Beyoncé pulled a stunt that would leave the industry buzzing: they dropped a surprise joint album, Everything Is Love, complete with a full-blown music video shot at the freakin’

Louvre.

Think about that.

A whole visual project, locked, loaded, and dropped right after Nas’s comeback.

That’s not coincidence.

That’s chess.

And Nas knew it.

This wasn’t the first time Jay did this either.

In fact, Nas laid out a pattern that can no longer be ignored.

Stillmatic dropped December 2001? Jay answered with MTV Unplugged the same week.

Street’s Disciple in 2004? Jay dropped Collision Course with Linkin Park.

2007’s Greatest Hits? Cue American Gangster.

And it goes on—Lost Tapes 2 versus Beyoncé’s Lion King: The Gift.

Over and over, Jay and Beyoncé’s surprise releases have landed on top of Nas’s carefully planned drops like a sledgehammer.

Petty? Strategic? You decide.

But what makes this darker is how Jay uses Beyoncé as a shield.

According to Nas, Jay-Z doesn’t just compete—he hides.

He lets Beyoncé’s halo protect him from criticism.

When fans question these underhanded tactics, the presence of Queen B often silences the noise.

But Nas isn’t scared to speak.

In a throwback interview with Wendy Williams, Nas didn’t just call Jay-Z out for shady competition—he accused him of enabling R.

Kelly during the Best of Both Worlds era, turning a blind eye to disturbing behavior for profit.

Nas went so far as to say that Jay had to have seen the red flags, calling it indulgence, not ignorance.

This pull-the-strings-and-play-clean act isn’t exclusive to Nas or DMX either.

Beanie Sigel shared how every time he dropped an album, Jay magically released something around the same time, stepping on Beanie’s promo cycle.

Even Cam’ron experienced it.

During a memorable 106 & Park appearance, Cam was supposed to have the spotlight.

But without warning, Jay-Z popped up unannounced, hijacking the interview and shifting focus to Blueprint 2.

Cam later admitted he had no idea Jay was coming, and the moment completely threw him off.

It wasn’t just a surprise—it was a power move.

Jay-Z’s entire career is filled with moments like these—moments where instead of going toe-to-toe, he smothered competition in silence, release dates, and surprise headlines.

And while many in the industry played along or stayed quiet to protect their own careers, DMX didn’t.

He called it what it was.

In a now-viral interview, DMX laid it out: “First, you retire.

Then you come back and get me off the label.

Okay.

I see what’s really good.

You trying to eliminate the competition.

” And that’s when DMX made the painful decision to walk away from Def Jam—the label he helped carry for nearly a decade.

The sad irony is that after DMX passed in 2021, Jay-Z appeared on The Shop and tried to rewrite the narrative, calling their rivalry “all love” and praising X’s competitiveness.

But fans weren’t buying it.

They remembered the delays.

The silence.

The power plays.

And more than anything, they remembered that DMX was one of the only artists bold enough to call Jay out while he was still alive.

Even 50 Cent jumped into the fire recently, blasting Jay-Z for hiding behind Beyoncé’s image to earn clout and awards.

In a brutally honest interview, 50 said Jay’s marriage to Beyoncé wasn’t just romantic—it was strategic.

According to him, Jay had one Grammy before marrying Bey.

After that? They started rolling in.

Even the couple’s kids now have Grammys.

It’s a narrative Jay has leaned into—Family Man, Billionaire, Cultural King.

But the streets remember another version of Jay—the one who pulled strings, ducked beef, and quietly played puppet master behind the curtain.

Nas and DMX stood against that.

They didn’t bow, and they didn’t bite their tongues.

And maybe that’s why their bond ran so deep.

Because in an industry where silence is safety, they chose truth.

Nas’s recent comments aren’t just about album releases or music videos—they’re about calling out a system where power is used not to build, but to crush.

Where legends are erased, and rival voices are buried under headline-grabbing drops and carefully timed distractions.

Jay-Z’s empire is real.

His talent? Undeniable.

But so is his pattern.

And now, the mask is slipping.

The question is—will the world finally look past the glitter and see the shadow behind the throne?
