The picture Nas is referencing was posted by Jay-Z&#8217;s collaborator <a href="/profile/DJKhaled" class="text-word" target="_blank" >DJ Khaled</a>, who captioned the photo, &#8220;HOV DID!&#8221; Altogether, Jay-Z has won 24 Grammy Awards. The feat ties him with <a href="/profile/KanyeWest" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kanye West</a> for the most ever for a hip-hop artist.



As for King&#8217;s Disease III, the lyrics referencing Jay-Z come on <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/449157-nas-reveals-that-he-still-texts-jay-z-about-their-former-beef" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the track, &#8220;Thun.&#8221;</a>



Nas raps: &#8220;No beef or rivals, they playin’ &#8216;Ether&#8217; on TIDAL. Brothers can do anythin’ when they decide to. In a Range Rover, dissectin&#8217; bars from &#8216;Takeover&#8217;. Sometimes I text Hova like &#8216;N***a, this ain’t over,&#8217; laughin&#8217;.&#8221;



Nas and <a href="/profile/hitboy" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Hit-Boy</a> dropped King’s Disease III on November 11, 2022. The album is the third entry in Nas&#8217; King&#8217;s Disease series.



Elsewhere in the interview, Nas discusses being a &#8220;living hip-hop legend&#8221; and how many artists the community has lost over the years. Nas had recently shared a powerful message in response to the death of <a href="/profile/takeoff" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Takeoff</a> at the release party for King’s Disease III.



&#8220;I lost so many friends, even before I got into music,&#8221; Nas told Noah. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t think I would get into music, and then still see it going on.&#8221;
