“Man, what’s crazy is though, Jay was hitting me,” he said. “I didn’t realize as I was going through my thing. Jay was hitting me like, ‘Hold on, stick around. I wanna toast to you.’ And then he hit me later saying, ‘I was gonna concede my time to you.’ Shouts out to Hov.”
Charlamagne Tha God also claimed he got word that JAY-Z was planning to bring Killer Mike out on stage.
“It’s love, though. I appreciate it,” Mike said. “[I got that text] after I got out. Me and him laughing. He said, ‘You want to go and get locked up in the biggest moment ever?!’ I was laughing. It was hilarious, man. You couldn’t do nothing but laugh.”

The Run The Jewels MC previously revealed that JAY-Z praised his Michael album over a text message while he was still recording the project in 2022.
“I be tripping out now when I wake up, get up, moving around and see a text from [JAY-Z] just out of nowhere,” he said on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast in August.

“Like, ‘Peace God. I see what you did. Just sending some encouragement your way.’ He’s still a very grounded, cool human being. I appreciate all the love and encouragement.”
He continued: “As I was making the record, we sent it to him early and he sent back some real positive notes. He sent back a great compliment. He was like, ‘It feels like I went to my cousin’s house and watched a movie.’
“I was really honored. I think it was about a year ago he sent that comment. And we delivered.”
Killer Mike collaborated with JAY-Z on “Poppin’ Tags” from 2002’s The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse album alongside Big Boi and Twista.
