In the new track”Kill Jay-Z”, Jay implied that he had loaned Kanye West US$20 million. A new report has surfaced to prove otherwise.

The lyrics in question read: “You gave him 20 million without blinkin’
He gave you 20 minutes on stage, fuck was he thinkin’?” (Full lyrics here).

Now, according to TMZ, the US$20 million was not a loan, but a cash advance from Roc Nation, Jay’s entertainment company, to cover expenses for Kanye’s 2016 Saint Pablo tour.

The cash was used to cover staff and production costs for set-ups such as Kanye’s iconic floating stage.
