Major League Lacrosse has responded to Jay Z’s dis of the sport on DJ Khaled’s “They Don’t Love You No More.”
On the song, Jigga raps, “Haters wanna ball, let me tighten up my drawstring/ Wrong sport, boy, you know you soft as a lacrosse team.”
Major League Lacrosse issued a statement regarding Jay Z’s lyrics today (April 29).
“Lacrosse is often called the fastest sport on two feet,” an MLL spokesperson said in a statement toMTV News today. “Players are on the field dodging and shooting balls at over 100 miles per hour. With that said we don’t think Jay-Z knows what he’s talking about when he calls Lacrosse ‘soft’ I can guarantee you it is anything but a ‘soft’ sport. Mr. Carter would not last one minute on a lacrosse field during a match and he is more than welcome to come to any of our games and try.”
In a story published yesterday (April 28), DJ Khaled discussed his new material with Jay Z.
“I just left Marcy Projects,” he said. “What you think I’m playing with this shit? Eight summers. I got Jay Z, Shawn Carter. I got Hova on my first single. Fuck this shit. I’ma show the game, boy.”
In 2012, Jay Z and DJ Khaled worked together on “3 Kings” from Ross’ God Forgives, I Don’t album.

Has Jay-Z ever seen indoor arena lacrosse played up here in Canada? Google Peterborough Lakers Lacrosse and watch a few videos ..tough as nails .. especially the fights.
Jay-Z is in the sports agency industry? Shouldn’t you have a better understanding of sports in general when in the industry?
Fuck you and inndoor arena lacrosse, shits gay as fuck. Only person I ever new to be even remotely interested in this bullshit was this rich ass white dude. “– often called the fastest sport on two feet –“, suck a dick spokesperson … We don’t believe you you need more people!
1. It’s knew not new. 2. That we don’t believe you, you need more people line is getting older than hov
if you’re a real hockey fan,, then box lacrosse shouldn’t come as any surprise that it’s far from ‘soft’
best bench brawls, and hits next to the nhl.
unmatched sport of men.
ppl gon knock lacrosse as soft, but WILL watch nba playoffs where ‘MEN’ getting paid millions take games off due to sore backs and fat lips( steve nash exception, CANADIAN TO BOOT!)
canada is soft lacross is gay and such a faggot sport like curling
This is the best thing that DJ Khaled could have ever hoped for. 15 more seconds of fame for his weak song that he won’t be able to get Jay-Z to make a video for.
They don’t need jay z for the video. He can’t afford to be in the video anyway since beyonce has his money.
Jay Z has more money than all of the niggas he collaborated with on that track combined. Beyonce doesn’t have all his money, she got her own.
Can’t stand Jay-Z but Lacrosse is a wack ass sport.
wack it may be, but you cant say its soft.. full contact sport
Money makes the man, in retrospect… Money is the sport…. yo money to short…. “Haters wanna ball, let me tighten up my drawstring/ Wrong sport, boy, you know you soft as a lacrosse team. Step that Young Mula Up BABY….lol
huh? damn stans on Hov dick hard they quoting dude hardbody here. do you stans know you dont exist to dude sheesh
Actually AasjaKanada just explained the rhyme in context of what he really meant. He was not dissing the game of Lacrosse, but dissing the money that they make compared to a NBA baller. Damn I didn’t catch it until dude explained it. that’s hip hop shit. “Anonymous #1” do you get it now YO? Read a book YO!
signed Anonymous #2. lol
NBA, softest league/sport.
maaan they just shamed the sport more by proving him right with that sensitive bitch statement
I’m sorry you don’t get it.
Jay Z stay getting boddied. He’s been bodies by Pac, Nas, Eminem, Prodigy, Jim Jones, Game, Wayne, A$AP Rocky, Drake and a lacrosse team.
None of that is true.
In an alternate universe perhaps but not Earth 2014.
A$AP Rocky? What did he do?
Tru got he bodied by all of them but they ain’t worh more then him put together lol
Lol, that sport is softer then cotton. Yall should checkout thegrandreport, they have some good videos on there too!
People are so fucking sensitive. Grow some balls.
CANADA TRYING TO BE RELEVANT FOR ONCE
mll is in America you dumb fuck
Jay-Z is a god compared to that guy
canada is such a joke they allways try to be like us americans which is why everyone calls canada america jr.
You’re an idiot. Major League Lacrosse is in the United States.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. Lacrosse is an American Sport! Jackass!
He wouldn’t know. He would have had to have read the actual article instead of just copying a comment he saw to try to be cool
LMAO stupid MF kids these days, and on the real Lacrosse is no joke.
No actually Canadians laugh at the USA.
I thought that line is corny.
I’ve never played lacrosse and have no interest in it. But I do know that Jim Brown was one of the greatest lacrosse players of all time and says it was his favorite sport.
If it’s good enough for the running back G.O.A.T., then I got no problem with it.
I love basketball but NBA players are about as tough Kleenex with aloe.
First off the song is just ok. The typical Khaled Record with a million rappers on it. I don’t think Jay did justice to this song at all, Jay usually does his thing lyrically but he just didn’t sound inspired at all. One of his worst verses!!
lol Jay-Z play a sport besides one with his mouth?
