(GEMS RADIO)- Jay-Z and Ice-T recently discussed the West Coast icon’s 1993 song “99 Problems,” which Jay-Z reused almost ten years later, according to Ice-T.
During one appearance on Big Boy TV, the rapper/actor recounted his interaction with Jay-Z at the Grammy Awards. Jay-Z allegedly approached Ice-T and said, “You know I love you, right?” In response to Ice’s affirmative response, Hov said, “Well, it’s on the internet that you mad.” Ice-T assured Jay-Z that he was not angry, adding, “They’re coming up with all kinds of conversations about it [“99 Problems”].
