Marlon Wayans wants to know why JAY-Z has never invited him to the annual Roc Nation Brunch which is held prior to the Grammy Awards. While speaking with Big Boy for a recent interview, the comedian explained that Diddy invites him to events all the time, but that JAY-Z never does the same.

Wayans began by stating that he “has a bone to pick” with JAY-Z. Big Boy agreed, saying “Oh my God bro, I got the same bone.” Wayans continued: “I get in Diddy party all the time. Diddy hit me, ‘Aye, like dat, come through, Ciroc, Deleon, take dat, take dat shot, come have a good time.’ Always! JAY-Z… crickets, crickets. And I be looking at that brunch like, ‘How the hell did he get in there?!’ You be having all these worthless ass people in this damn brunch.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Wayans also discussed his relationship with Tupac, his history with Big Boy, and more. Wayans is set to star in Ben Affleck's upcoming film, Air. The story will follow Nike employee Sonny Vaccaro and recount how he signed Michael Jordan to his first sneaker deal. Wayans plays George Raveling, a former college basketball coach who also served as an assistant coach for Team USA in 1984. Wayans recently explained to KTLA 5’s Sam Rubin that Affleck called him personally to pitch the role. “He talked to me for about 45 minutes about what the role was, and I said ‘Ben, you had me at hello. You did Argo. You’re taking 45 minutes too long. Just say ‘Marlon be in the movie,'” Wayans recalled.
