Let's just let the Washington Post 's Michael Lee lay this one in:The most ridiculously entertaining and completely ridiculous subplot of this Washington Wizards-Cleveland Cavaliers playoff series has reached another stratosphere, after my moles informed me that hip hop legend Jay-Z made a diss record on Friday about DeShawn Stevenson.Lee says Caron Butler walked out of the club when the DJ replayed the diss track a few times, while Gilbert Arenas considered it an honor that Jay-Z spent time thinking about DeShawn.
You read that right. Jay-Z, the Jigga Man, H-to-the-Izzo, Mr. Beyonce Knowles, made diss record about DeShawn Stevenson that was played at the D.C. night spot Love on Friday night, according to several witnesses. I have not heard the song or the lyrics but I was told that Jay-Z freestyled over the beat for the track, "Blow The Whistle" by rapper Too Short.
Of course, there was a mic involved ... so Damon Jones got involved. He apparently talked "foul stuff" about DeShawn in introducing the Jay-Z track. Stevenson isn't happy about that, nor LeBron James's pressing of the "feud" into personal attacks.
"He says he has a lot of swag, but I don't think that's something to do," Stevenson said about James. "This is basketball. I'm not worried about the song. I'm not worried about what he did. But for Damon Jones to get on the mic. And I heard he was saying foul stuff about me and stuff like that, they're taking it beyond basketball to me."
