“I treat people based on who they are as a person,” Jay-Z Opens Up About Rift With Hollywood Star

Jay-Z is still pretty miffed at the disrespectful behaviour of Robert De Niro at mutual friend Leonardo DiCaprio’s 38th birthday bash last November.

The rapper is said to have approached De Niro’s table to say hello, and the actor snubbed him, telling Jay-Z he had never returned his calls.

In an interview with Power 105.1 radio station in New York on Wednesday, Jay-Z was asked if issues between himself and De Niro had been resolved, to which he replied, ‘no I haven’t.”

Robert De Niro, if you ever miss his call, please just phone him back...

It is alleged that the Oscar-winning star had contacted Jay regarding a song the 43-year-old had agreed to record for the Tribeca Film Festival but he heard no response. It was revealed that the pair then exchanged heated words. 

Try not to ever disrepect Jay-Z, he'll never forgive you.

"I treat people based on who they are… who they really are. Not the name, not Robert De Niro, like, you know, who you are as a person.

"It doesn't matter who you are, everyone has to be respectful and everyone has to be a human being. No one is above. That's just the end of it and that's how I carry it with anybody," he added.

So this is why Beyoncé loves him so much, he is just as grounded and genuine as she is. Awwww.
