On May 3, 2025, Art of Dialogue posted a video on their YouTube channel featuring Lord Jamar talking about Kanye West's remarks on Jay-Z's children. In March 2025, Ye questioned the mental capacity of Jay-Z's kids during one of his controversial tweet threads. Commenting on the same, American rapper and DJ Lord Jamar said there was a time when a man's children and his family were off-limits in any beef, and those lines weren't to be crossed.
Jamar added:
"Why would you drag somebody else's seed into grown people's conflict. That's you know, something you know I would describe that as scumbaggery. You know that was some scumbaggery right."
Additionally, Lord Jamar made a statement on Ye and Hov's relationship, questioning if they were "ever really friends". Citing a reason for his theory, the DJ said that it was questionable for Jay-Z to be friends with Kanye West if the kind of person Ye is and the kind of person Jay-Z is are considered.
Lord Jamar said that considering where the rappers came from, it wouldn't be a possibility for them to be friends if the commonality of music was removed from the equation. The DJ mentioned:
"Do you really think these guys would have ever come together? That Jay-Z would ever have somebody like Kanye hanging around him if Kanye couldn't do something for him? Of course not!"
Further, Lord Jamar proceeded to claim that Jay-Z associated himself with Ye when the rapper was "selling all those records" and made him feel like his little man. Jamar added that as time went on, Kanye realised that Hov didn't look at him as an equal, the aggression of which reportedly caused Ye to lash out at Jay-Z in his way.
Lord Jamar said that people should stop being "scumbags as black people" and start having more honor and morals. Addressing what Ye said about Jay-Z's children, Jamar also mentioned that making statements for likes and attention must come to an end.
