Jay-Z stopped off at Toronto on Thursday (November 23) as a part of his 4:44 tour and paid tribute to local legend Drake with a live remix.
In the footage, Jay-Z raps his verse from ‘Jigga What, Jigga Who’ on top of the ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’ Drake track, ‘Know Yourself’ while, as DJ Akademiks tweets, Drake was in attendance.
As Pitchfork report, Jay did contribute a small verse to the track ‘Pop Style’ from Drake’s 2016 album ‘Views’ but was cut from the version that ended up on the final album.

Jay-Z also recently wrote an op-ed for The New York Times criticising the sentence given to Meek Mill for violating his probation.
The rapper claims that “the criminal justice system stalks black people like Meek Mill”, Jay continues: “As of 2015, one-third of the 4.65 million Americans who were on some form of parole or probation were black. Black people are sent to prison for probation and parole violations at much higher rates than white people.”
