JAY-Z was spotted attempting to calm down Denzel Washington during a heated argument at an L.A. Lakers game earlierĀ this week.
In the viral clip, which was recorded at Tuesday’s (February 7) match-up against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the famed actor can be seen yelling at someone on the sidelines, before Hov steps in and successfully diffuses the situation.
The pair are then seen throwing their arms around each other before laughing and smiling as they walk back to their seats.
Tuesday’s game proved to be an iconic moment for the sport as LeBron James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
Meanwhile, JAY-Z has been hailed as the greatest rapper of all time by BillboardĀ andĀ VIBE.Ā
Hov was crowned king after the publications showed love to Kanye West,Ā AndrĆ© 3000,Ā Lauryn Hill,Ā Ice Cube,Ā Rakim,Ā LL COOL JĀ andĀ Black ThoughtĀ across its No. 50 to No. 11 picks,Ā BillboardĀ andĀ VIBEĀ unveiled their final 10 selectionsĀ on Wednesday (February 8).
Nicki Minaj,Ā Snoop Dogg,Ā Drake,Ā Lil WayneĀ andĀ The Notorious B.I.G.Ā were ranked No. 10 to No. 6, in that order, whileĀ Eminem,Ā 2Pac,Ā NasĀ andĀ Kendrick Lamar snagged the No. 5 to No. 2 slots.
From JAY-Z’s 24 Grammy Awards, 14 No. 1 albums and 140 million record sales, the publication’s editorial teams argued that his ālongevity, the breadth of his accomplishments, and what heās meant to Hip Hop from a musical, cultural and financial standpoint for the last three decadesā is what makes him the greatest of all time.
JAY-Z also snagged three nominations at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards last week and closed the ceremony out with his 4-minute verse on DJ Khaledās āGOD DID,ā which was up for Song of the Year, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance.
The Brooklyn-bred legend later told TIDAL he felt compelled to rap his four-minute verse at the Grammys because he āowedā it to Hip Hop.
āI thought about it, I was in my head and I just broke down and said, āYou know, itās a four-minute verse.ā Again, for the culture, for Hip Hop, we got to do that,ā he said. āThis aināt your traditional song. ā¦ Itās not your traditional structure of what you think a song that would be nominated for Song of the Year would sound like. Itās not what you expect. And for the culture and for Hip Hop, we got to do that.ā
He continued: āWe owe that. This thing that changed our lives. We got to do that. A four-minute verse performed at the Grammys. We owe it to the culture, and it aināt even a burden. Itās a blessing. Itās easy and fun.ā
JIGGA MAN AIN’T GOT SHIT ON ME
LOLOLOLOLOL
Yea
Still after all the fame & fortune, Mr. Denzel Washington remains being a down to earth celebrity. Always enchanting others with his smile.
Yeah except when he congratulated Will Smith on slapping Chris Rock
He’s still down to earth.
Watching the video, Denzel kept pushing him AWAY! Jay-Z didn’t calm down anybody….effing clickbait!! š”
He tried
Faggot
Fart face
Poo poo head
Well, I guess he did “try”
Ooh no not Poo Poo head.
Watching the video, Denzel kept pushing him AWAY! Jay-Z didn’t calm down anybody….effing clickbait!! š”
It clearly say ATTEMPT
99
Damn
Damn
Jay-Z still have respect for og
No disrespect.. only the real Will understand
Clearly Denzel didnāt realize it was Jay trying to hold back. When he did realize it was him he did calm down and they were able to laugh about it.

That’s not what I saw. I saw a man who didn’t care who was trying to intervene. Yes they laughed but Denzel didn’t give a sh!t who the person was initially. Those pushes were serious though very “mind your business” type pushes. But Denzel is to old and accomplished to behave that way. I mean if you are going to fight then just fight bro. .. all that bickering makes people look like they want attention.
I agree
Yes! This absolutely is click bait! Anybody who knows BLACK MEN know that Denzel was NOT having an “heated argument” with anybody! Without even hearing what the subject was, the expressions on their faces tell me that in all probability it was some kind of sports debate, given the event they were attending!
EXACTLY!
I would like to know what the bald head short guy said to make Denizal mad? The exchange was heated and Mr. Washington never looked back at JayZe until Jay stepped slightly to the side and tugged on Denizal,s coat, when he realized who it was he then calmed down, but Mr Washington was upset about something that was said?
Could you describe what the short bald man was wearing? I think I know who it was.
Can you describe what the short bald man was wearing? May be someone I know.
Disregard my question of describing the short bald head man. I watched the clip and know who he is.
They’ve never heard of K-RINO
Street military
It’s all money nobody isn’t for real
Jay Z is not and never will be the greatest rapper of all time. He’s a good rapper at most. Greatest of all time is a stretch.
Exactly. They just can’t stand to give it to Eminem cause he’s white. For him to get that label officially would kill most of the hip hop community.
I’m glad someone else pointed that out. Kendrick Lamar? Gtfo. 2pac and Marshall and I really couldn’t stand 2pac. Nas is alright
Competition sport š
Eminem is great sometimes, most his shit is corny as hell..well overrated, no one in this era would even listen to it, he can’t keep up with the times now, except to mostly white people, just facts
100% Agreed! Iāll give Him most successful BUT He aināt the greatest rapper at all! Heās not better than Biggie or Nas
Eminem is not close to being the Greatest of All Time. He is an incredibly skilled eMCee without question, especially when you can make whole sentences rhyme. That being said he us not as lyrically congruent as a Black Thought, Pharoahe Monche, or even a Redman. Not even mentioning Rakim, Kool G Rap, KRS-ONE, Big Daddy Kane and the list is not exhausted
Um not true I have children born in 2007, 2010 and 2012 who listen to him. My 11 yr old cuts her Xbox 1 on then throws her head phones and turns into a complete monster on Roblox and mortal combat listening to Marshall Mathers an by the way their A.A. children. My middle child definitely bumps when he’s in race mode on Mario kart. An my oldest just loves good Artist. So please don’t assume he’s fell off just because your just not that into him. ššš
Please, heās irrelevant and what does that have to do with as children? They are drunks listening to him ya, he was marketed by another rapper on purpose for people like you and your āchildrenā lol there are so many better that didnāt have the marketing of DR DRE AND DEATH ROW LEARN YOUR STUFFZ
1. PAC or Biggie
2. Nas
3. Rakim
4. Busta Rhymes
5. Eminem
Old
Anytime someone put pac as number one proves they know nothing about hip hop
Everytime someone talks shit about pac shows they know everything about being a hater. More people will say he’s the greatest than not,shit keep your head up is deeper than anything J did and that ain’t even one of his best.
Pac teaches through his music, and I don’t think any of the Rappers that was mentioned has that gift. Pac read books and his upbringing from being a child of panthers parents had some influence upon his story telling.
Tupac is THE BEST of all time rapper
I can’t believe Denzel is putting up Illuminati sign!!;
I canāt believe it either. Whatās this world coming to! All these celebrities are worshipping Satan.
Jay -z did a good job not lettin things blow out of proportion great š job Jay -z real man
Jay -z did a good job not lettin things blow out of proportion great š job Jay -z real man
Hip hop had faded out since biggie black rob 2pac and dmx passed away. Ll cool jay krs1 all the old school pioneer deserve a chance at the Grammy. Jayz. Is not the greatest of all times, let’s get this facts straight.
Denzel was like. King Kong have nothing on me.
Why is nobody asking Jay z about his visits to Epstein Island?
I love everyone ok please don’t think I’m racist ok but why is it African Americans complain about money all the time about everyone being racist why is it African Americans brake the law more sale drugs can’t they work since they think there better than everyone they dog white people constantly trust me ask the government to take u anywhere in the world and give u a cell phone I bet within 24 hours u will call them and beg them to come back ok gangs is bad drugs is bad stealing is bc and my hurting peoples feelings r bad stealing is bad cheating people is bad grow up and prove to the world not just fight all the time violence is hatred in your heart
Most Men of Africa decent… Isn’t happy… Any other race of ppl come OVER here and there respected…..you don’t think of them as drug dealers or gang members.., … actually most other races aren’t getting killed by the police…and most of our young man are being prepped for prison.. making it harder for them to get good jobs or go to school, AND YOU GOT THE NERVE TO SAY YOUR NOT RACIST… BREAKING NEWS…YOU ARE RACIST…BUT IT’S OK bc I don’t mind or care of your racist…just A MAN !! HONESTLY LOYALTY AND RESPECT.. REGARDLESS OF YOUR COLOR
Nothing wrong with being racist, it means you prefer your ppl, I prefer my ppl above all nations and anyone who says they don’t prefer their own kind is not worthy of their nationality. I’m a so called “black man” our ppl are the best when they have shed the generational curses and sins of our foreparents. There’s no basketball without us, no baseball, no football, no music etc etc without our flavor in anything it’s just raw chicken, if you catch my drift. We are the salt of the earth. The issue with being racist comes when your love of your ppl above all is used to hold, hinder, oppress, neglect or deny other nationalities the same opportunities you would offer your ppl, it then becomes racism. I love and prefer my ppl above all but I can also help other nations as christ called all Israelites to do if they truly follow him, no hate here, dislike at times but never hate because that would make me a murderer and no murderer has a place in the kingdom.
Seems to me?? Shay!! Shay!! Sharpe. Always has to
Stick his big horse face..in tge middle of everything
.dont get me wrong..I’m a Shannon sharpe fan..as a player.
As a person??? Not too much.jay z!! Walked right past him..payed him no attention at all. But shay!! Shay!!. Just had to be noticed..like wearing!! That big ass.. bill Cosby sweater. Wasnt enough to do the job..lol.. he had to rush behind. Good ole fish lips jay. Z.. pull on his shirt..just to let him know??? (((( shay!!! Shay!!! Was in da house,)))))…
GOAT rapper…I don’t think so.
Take this bullshit article down. There wasnāt a heated argument.
Lmao the hand signs right there in your face in the picture
Method Man is as talented or better than Jay z in my opinion, and anyone not named Tupac or Eminem for that matter
What foolery is this. Jay-Z alright but he is not better than Rakim first of all. Yall got to be high on crack. He’s definitely not better than Pac nor Eminem and Ye, he is not better than any of them. He can flip words and he’s a billionaire but yall ain’t got to lie to kick it. Gangstar should have been in the top ten. The review team is wack for this review, wake up and try again.
Well we see who likes to touch people. Hasn’t had a bad idea all week.
I just one thing to say…. FUCK ALL Y’ALL
Eminem, jay-z, nas, Kendrick, they all need to be given the vacuum award cause they all SUCK!!!….GOAT 2PAC
Pac wore a thong as a back up dancer more than once, he wasn’t a thug, and if that’s thug life keep it. And yes, I have the pictures if you think I’m lying.
Eminem, jay-z, nas, Kendrick, they all need to be given the vacuum award cause they all SUCK!!!….GOAT 2PAC
Yes
Eminem could never be the greatest, only white people listen to his music.
ThT was ignorant af to say only white people listen to his music.
Jump off his cock pussy nigga marshall is hot until your ass is old my nigga .stop hate hitch ass. You can even rap pussy write. You were probably a dot nig
DOOM! Anybody saying any MC was greater is all CAP for real.
Ok so I’m surprised Denzel even lost his cool. I have alot of respect for that man. Jay z is another guy I have alot of respect for. Honestly jay z should be # 1. If rap was the mob he would be the god father.

Jay z best rapper where did that come from sorry gotta say not the case there are many old school that surpass him aye š¤
If you don’t have Black Thought , Method Man, Talib Kweli and KRS One in the top 10 of your list and you have Nicki Minaj on that list. Your list is a joke.

Jay -z was laughing at Denzel and was being pushed away by Denzel so like my man said jay-didnt stop nothing, to me it looked like he was waiting for Denzel to stop yelling at someone then the were talking & Jay-z went his way & Denzel went his way, End of story.
NF and Harry Mack the šās
How in the hell do you have a competitive list of the greatest rappers of all time and I do not see KRS-1 or Chuck D?
I liked when Will Smith smacked the suit out of Chris Rock. I bet he won’t make anymore jokes about another man’s wife.

Was it a āheated argumentā or was it just loud in there? IDK
And?
The world is still spinning, people are still dying, human rights are not respected, but this attention getting narcissistic display is important? Why?
Jay z,is Mr downtown Brooklyn!
Articles like this is why I hate the internet
Jay Z X Denzel Washington
Thanks, because Father God has ways to win the lost “back for HIMSELF”!!!!!!!
Lil Wayne is the greatest. There is no argument. He sets the trends, he creates the style. Heās miles ahead of all of them.
Grammy award should an award after jay-z
Grammy award should name an award after jay-z
You need to find a different job instead of writing crap. Least try to stick to actual true facts instead of the opinions that you’ve stated,,don’t speak highly of your intelligence when your using personal preference for fact! Jay-Z bad ass don’t get me wrong but Dre is on top of that shit with,Snoop,EasyE,,they were basically the fathers of Rap with NWA.
Great platform to share and jawbone about issues in our space.
What strikes me is the absence of the older /old school crew…
Jay-Z more like gay z not the greatest not even close big l is greater than gayz listen to the track with big l and gay boy z his shits wacc as a hobo jaccin off listenin to hard nocc gay z whatever the fucc album from the gay 90s release now x- Raided he’s a great rapper great rap story other than pac greatest rap story of the century never shoulda been let out the penitentiary real shit Killa Crip shit immortal technique way better than gay faggot z jelly roll mercules bone thugs edmp Jedi mind tricks army of the pharaohs doomsday productions my niggas north town doom niggas sinister killas peel yo skin like a banana we cut throat gorillas
Never even like Jay z only had a couple of good songs to me. He’s getting all but not the greatest of all time there’s a lot better then him that’s for sure! I think the whole list is pretty wack
The whole list?
You must not know anything about Biggie & PAC! There music is still some of the GOAT years after their deathsā¦..
Jayz IS no. 1! Dissect his lyrics and youāll understand.
My Guy Denzel lookn like āThe Equalizerā out there on the courtšš¾š¤£
I disagree, he is quite successful but, 2Pac, Biggie, Snoop, Ll Cool J and some others are better rappers.
True
Marshall Marthers vs Hova
Jadakiss top 1 dead or alive
Jadakiss top 1 dead or alive! He aināt even on your list so your list is far from accurate. Nobody ever been better than Jada.
People sleep on t.i Twista and common can’t forget Busta rymes and DMX but hands down when it comes to freestyles Eminem is by far the best.
Yāall need to get a life and leave jay tf alone. Jay is one of the greatest rappers. āEm is good but Iāll always choose listening to Wayne or jay over him
Jadakiss, top 1, dead or alive, hands down
I think it’s a beautiful thing what the hip hop culture is doing. Uphold our black culture. Because everyone else act as the black culture does not matter.but we doing I plan to support them in everyday that I can. We matter recognize…..
