Jay Z Trends For Saying He Regrets Making ‘Big Pimpin’ In Resurfaced Interview

Jay Z Goes Viral Over Regretful ‘Big Pimpin’ Comments: “I Can’t Believe I Said That”

Jay Z is well known for keeping a low profile, staying off the internet and only comes out to make big moves. The well respected OG recently made headlines over a viral family photo which shows his kids with Beyonce are fast growing up.

HOV is currently making news over a misleading headlines suggesting that another interview, in which he discussed how he “regretted” writing his “Big Pimpin” lyrics, was also published recently.

His statements about the song have gone viral on social media with thousands of people discussing the claims, wondering whether he’ll ever perform the song again. However, that interview was actually done over eleven years ago and isn’t current at all.

The song not only became an anthem that ushered in the 21st century, but also became Jigga’s most popular track, ending up on four different Billboard charts and catapulted Hov’s fourth LP to go triple platinum.

“That’s the exception. It was like…I can’t believe I said that,” said Hov in the resurfaced interview which is being paraded as new. “And kept saying it? What type of animal would say this sort of thing. Reading it is really harsh.”

Considering the fact that Jay-Z almost never does press, it isn’t so surprising that some of his words are being misconstrued from decade-old interviews.

This is #ClickBait

This is being reported as new when it’s actually from a 2010 Wall Street Journal interview where JAY-Z talked about his book Decoded and his songwriting. No where did he say he regrets making “Big Pimpin'”

He has performed the song countless times since then https://t.co/OBzg55gzzv pic.twitter.com/LgGIgwVsz9

The way Jay began his verse, Bun B’s flow, and Pimp C’s charisma easily makes it one of the greatest collabs ever.
