Jay Electronica has deactivated his Twitter and Instagram accounts following his criticism of Eminem’s “Killshot” diss track. Slim Shady, who dropped the song on Friday (September 14), seemingly infuriated the New Orleans-bred rapper/producer with the line about Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In one of the verses, Em alludes the Hip Hop mogul had something to do with Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder.
“Killshot, I will not fail, I’m with the Doc still/But this idiot’s boss pops pills and tells him he’s got skills/But Kells, the day you put out a hit’s the day Diddy admits/That he put the hit out that got Pac killed, ah,” Shady raps.
Like hundreds of other people, Jay Electronica jumped on Twitter to throw in his two cents.
“@eminem, how dare you accuse diddy of killing tupac while you completely look pass jimmy iovine and those who profited from his death the MOST,” he wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “You best tread carefully Son, before i come tear your ivory tower down like Sulaiman done the Templar Knights. #ripProof.”
Shady fans didn’t take too kindly to the threat and undoubtedly came for the 41-year-old artist who then vanished from his social media platforms.
The move follows Jay Electronica’s reissue of his 2010 song “Shiny Suit Theory” featuring JAY-Z and The-Dream.

How about Jay Elec quit it with the Twitter fingers and drop the album. Rappers are WAY too sensitive on social media but are scared to go in the booth to air shit out.
Lol he got tough for a quick second. Either Royce and Joyner shook him OR he realized he @$$ doesn’t even have 1 damn album or credibility OR he realized hes had a few descents bars but could never compete with shady. That white boy would eat his a$$
Walk away, Jay Elec. It’s not worth it.
I remember listening to this guy like 15+ years ago… still no album? But once or twice a year he reactivates his twitter to throw shots at artists who actually care about their fans and contribute to the genre
Now you know Royce da 5’9 dont play that ish home boy…
Everyone is misunderstanding Jay Elec here. He gave his two cents and deleted his account simply because he does not have the time to respond to Shady stans. And Diddy didn’t kill Pac, Orlando Anderson did, so dead that bullshit rumor already. These are the same people who will say some dumb shit like Eminem murdered King HOV on his own shit, just copying what broke woman beater Nas says. First off, “Renegade” wasn’t even King HOV’s song in the first place, so how did he get killed on his “own” shit? And King HOV’s bars go over all you suburban listener’s heads. All Eminem does is rhyme words just for the sake of rhyming words and sounding angry while doing it. And that convinces everybody that he’s such a greeeat rapper when he’s really one of the most overrated rappers of all time, right next to broke woman beater Nas. Who cares if Jay Elec hasn’t put his album out yet? It takes time to perfect a historic masterpiece. The Roman Empire wasn’t built overnight. Put Jay Elec and Eminem in the booth and bet you Jay will mop the floor with Eminem with his brilliant bars. It’s the ROC!
Dude… Instead of typing go READ. READ lyrics instead of listening. HOV one of the greats, but ask him who he considers one of the GREATs. Eminem that is. If you think he just Rhyme words, then you are not a hip hop fan. Just a D Ryder… That is all
You dumb ass, Renegade was the 12th track on Blueprint so how is it not Hov’s track. And don’t disrespect Nas, him and Jay Z are the Biggie and pac after the death of Biggie and pac, u dumb fuck.
Might have been on his album but the original and much better version is by em and royce
Jay elec is fucking the definition of overhyped. Eminem may be overrated but fuck me Elec is overhyped. Dude has 1 good song, 1 that’s it. Even that had some mediocre barrs in it.
And he signed to Jay like 10 years ago, and had years before that to prep his first album. If you can’t make one dope album in over 10 years with fucking Jay Z backing you you aint shit.
Oh and since it went over your head Nas said “on your own shit” because it was on Hovs album, that shouldn’t need explaining.
Doesn’t have the time to respond? Hahah please tell me what else you specifically know he has going on. I’ll wait…
What does you thinking Nas is broke have to do with Hip Hop or being a ill Emcee? Nas and Jigga are both dope been a Jay Z fan since “Reasonable doubt”. But if you think Jay Z is better lyrically you might want to go do your research. Go listen to verses by Nas on Live at the BBQ, Back to the Grill, verbal intercourse, Rewind, 2nd childhood, One love, new york state of Mind, I gave You Power, Take it in Blood, eye for an Eye etc. Jigga isn’t better then Nas the only person on Nas level is Rakim. Those are the two best emcees. Base this on flow, creativity, originality, concepts, Bars, albums, guest appearances etc. Nobody is touching Nas lyrically, Nice try tho. As I said Jigga is dope and he’s a smarter Business Man but nobody is more clever with lyrics then Bars.
Much respect to those who know their Hip Hop and have respect for all the Legends.
1. Nas (GOAT)
2. Rakim
3. Black thought (yes from The Roots)
4. Andre 3000 (keep sleeping on 3 Stacks)
5. Kool G Rap
Bonus pick: Jay Z or Scarface
Electronica is in time out until he can release an album already
All you pussy’s talkin relevance like we’re listening to pop or something lol
Jay Electronica is fucking delusional dude has a 1 song every 3 years average and he’s talking slick.
I hope to fuck that Royce tosses this little bitch ass in the bushes next to where Eminem laid Jamar to rest.
Joe Budden dissed dude earlier this year and he didn’t say shit back to him.
100% he’s itching to diss Eminem just because Em body bagged his little punk ass 5% buddy Jamar.
Oh and dumb ass Stans that right there is how real Hip Hop heads conduct themselves we stay neutral. I’ve posted saying Ems killshot was mediocre and I’ve posted comments in his defence and yet if I say something negative or that isn’t dickriding him I’m a “hater” nah your just fucking idiot groupies.
LORD JAMAR WILL LIVE LONG !!!!
@ SUPREME that must be good shit ure smokin
It’s a lyric from Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down….punk
It’s a lyric from Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down…punk
Jamar had been long forgotten for 2 decades until Eminems name came out of his mouth, and even the name people barely paid him any attention until his name came out of Eminems mouth. Fuck Jamar and Brand Nubian both have always been wack.
Ur bugging dating Brand Nubian being wack. One for All is a classic. Stop looking at sales as validation.
Brand Nubian were a fuking incredible group. You wanna shit on Tribe, Black Sheep, and Jungle Brothers too?
Nah ATCQ are dope as fuck, Brand Nubian are fucking wack and always were.
I couldn’t give two fucks about sales my favourite artists never sold shit, Elzhi, Slum Village, Skyzoo, Canibus, Blu and Exile none of them have ever put numbers up.
So I’ll say it again BRAND NUBIAN ARE WACK!!!
This teenage girl is mad funny if only she knew her hip hop history. Get off Wikipedia and listen to real hip hop. Poor lil girl.
If you think brand nubian are wack you don’t know sh*t about Hip Hop. Their dehut album “one for all” is a Hip Hop classic it even got 5 mics in the source (old Hip Hop Bible). Do you know who Grand Puba is? One of the nicest Emcees of all time. If you’re not a Fan okay but calling them wack is just crazy #GTFOHWTB “Cmon son” Ed Lover voice.
Anyone with any common sense knows Eminem was just fooling around and being an idiot…..there was no kind of conviction behind it….. jay electronica is simply trying to bait Eminem just like lord jamar did in Hope’s Eminem would say it and make him famous or relevant…. as far as tearing down slims towers? Bro.. come on.. , ? Jay is a great Most definitely….. but… is just not the caliber of Emcee of slim shady..
You’re absolutely right. He’s put out ZERO, ZILCH. If you can’t even put out a wack album signed by Jay-Z, it’s over. The article brings up the re-release of a song he did almost a decade ago?!? LMFAO
dude, are you stuck in 2007 or something? that was so cringey.
If I was in a bathroom with King Hov, Nas, and Jay Electronica and they were taking a piss. I would definitely make sure to lean over and sneak a peak at King Hovs big dick first. Just saying
Its hilarious that as a rapper, Jay Elec would completely miss the cleverness of the line. He literally says “MGK would never put a hit out”…JUST LIKE Diddy would never admit to putting a hit out on Pac. Its literally the opposite of suggesting Diddy had anything to do with 2Pac. “DO YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC OR JUST SKIM THRU IT?” Jay L-ectronica…
social media has people exploiting their true IQ….Jay Electronica straight played himself and by him taking it back proved he knows it … put up or shhhhh
Jay Electronica has a kid with Erykah badu, END OF STORY! How can he act so enlightened yet still be so dumb?
Badu is one of the illest–pretty much all of her projects are dope af. Jay Elec’s a fool though–after a decade I really don’t give a fuck. He could have had it all.
Im not a Badu fan but I’m not talking about her music, she is bat shit crazy and an absolute trash bag
Damn I bet Ma$e has had more music out in the past 3 years then this guy. LOL!! MA$E!! LOL
I thought Jay Electronica died last year.
I can’t stand when emcees claim to be so thick-skinned when it comes to lyrics, but, bee in their feeling over an obvious joke meant to attach MGK. Drop an album before you speak about doing anything to somebody Akh.
Why Jay Electronica still signed to the Roc? What the hell does he do just put out a single every other year? I’m done with this dude unless he is producing other artists music he should sign off and change his name.
This reply was for Pharaoh not you. He made some wack comments about Brand Nubian. He needs to go study “one for all” one of the best Hip Hop albums of all time. ?????
