Jay-Z has spoken.

The hip-hop great seemed to finally address his former best friend Kanye West's relationship with Donald Trump, and let's just say, Jay's not rocking with team MAGA. 

Hov laid down some bars on Meek's new album Championships — specifically on Meek's "What's Free" track featuring Rick Ross and Jay. The "Family Feud" rapper can be heard spitting a few lines that seem to reference Kanye's support of Trump, and his personal dislike of the President.

"No red hat, don’t Michael and Prince me and Ye/They separate you when you got Michael and Prince’s DNA/I ain’t one of these house n***as you bought/My house like a resort, my house bigger than yours/My spo—c’mon, man—my route better of course."

The line about the red hat appears to be a reference to Ye's affinity with Trump's red MAGA hats, which he once said made him feel like a superhero when he put it on. However, Kanye's support of the President does not appear to have caused additional strife in his relationship with Jay as Jay asks in the song that people not pit them against each other like Michael Jackson and Prince, which as TMZ noted appears to be in reference to the late legends' rivalry back in the '80s and '90s. Nonetheless, the rest of the lines do take shots at Trump and his supporters (i.e. his line about not being a "house n***a," which appears to be jab at black people who support Trump).

Meek previously criticized Kanye's support of Trump. In a recent interview with Vulture, the Championships rapper revealed that he asked Ye to cancel his now-infamous meeting with Trump at the White House"I don’t think [Kanye] addressed anything that had to do with what was tough on justice reform," Meek explained. "He wasn’t prepared for it, and he shouldn’t have done it. I had phone calls with Kanye for hours. He was trying to get me to go to things like that."
