Jay was playing checkers and underestimated Nas. Nas actually put the info out there already in the magazine before ether came out about Carmen and jay. Nas already diffused jayz biggest ammo and jay was scrambling after ether dropped on his birthday.

[@jjjayden8964]

@TAD nah. Difference is Nas and Carmen weren't together anymore and Nas explained that in the magazine before he dropped ether. Jay got emotional and his actions weren't smart after ether dropped. His team should have caught wind of the magazine where Nas explained the Carmen situation.

The messed thing about it was. Summer Jam is a concert. It is not like we are talking about broadcasting with FCC rules and regulations.
