Conway The Machine says that JAY-Z is one of the only people in the music industry who genuinely cares about his well-being. The former Griselda rapper explained how JAY-Z is a "real" and "genuine dude" during a Twitter Spaces talk with Elliott Wilson.
“This is probably the one guy, only guy who I felt like genuinely cared about me and my well-being. He ask about how I’m doing, and family stuff, shit like that. It’s just regular shit,” Conway said before adding, “I kind of respect that and like that a little more.”

From there, Conway explained that he doesn't get star-struck when he hangs out with JAY-Z, which he attributes to helping their friendship. “I ain’t really trippin off the ‘Oh man, it’s JAY-Z.’ That’s probably why we ain’t did a lot of music together and stuff because I don’t hit him up about stuff like that," he added. “We hang out. I might not even get a picture. You won’t even know that we hung out. I think he like that about me too.”
Despite not doing "a lot of music together," JAY-Z did bring Conway in for “King Kong Riddim” off the soundtrack for the 2021 Netflix film The Harder They Fall. The comments come following the release of Conway's latest album, Won’t He Do It.

Won’t He Do It is Conway’s first album since last year’s God Don’t Make Mistakes, and his first post-Shady Records release. The project features Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Fabolous, as well as Juicy J, and more. During an interview with Rolling Stone following the release of the project, Conway revealed that he explained that he recorded “five to six albums worth of material” after going to Denver last summer.
