During an interview with the Tax Season podcast last year, N.O.R.E. discussed a supposed altercation that took place in the late 1990s between Fat Joe’s Terror Squad and Jay Z’s Roc-A-Fella crew. Even though he wasn’t at the incident, N.O.R.E. spoke about the rumor that the Terror Squad’s Big Pun hit Jigga in the head with a bottle.
The day after Thanksgiving last year, N.O.R.E. got a call from an unknown number.
“I picked it up and he said, ‘Yo,’” N.O.R.E. says during an interview with Genius. “And I said, ‘Yo.’ He said, ‘Yo, this is Jay.’ ‘Jay who?’ for arguments purposes, ‘Jay who?’ He said, ‘Jay Z.’ And I said, ‘Whoever this is need to work on their Jay Z accent, because you sound super White. There’s no way you could be Jay Z.’ So I hung up.”
N.O.R.E.’s phone rang again, this time from an unblocked number. He picked it up.
“He said, ‘So I hit [Memphis] Bleek for your number,’” N.O.R.E. says. “I knew it was him. I was like, ‘You can’t care about this shit. Like, this is really you. You can’t be taking your time out the day after Thanksgiving and calling me about something I did on a podcast.’ He was like, ‘Nah. I don’t care. I don’t care about the world knowing, N.O.R.E. You’re my nigga. I care about you knowing.’ So I said, ‘How do we fix this?’ He said, ‘Nah. You don’t need to fix it. But if the interview ever comes up again…’”
N.O.R.E., who raps about the Jay Z phone calls on his “Moments” single, says he kept Hov’s number.
“I locked the number in,” he says. “I’m never using it. Let me just throw that out there right now. Never using it. I know the Secret Service will knock on my door. ‘You text? Leave Hov alone.’ ‘No I didn’t text. I’m sorry.’”

Nore a real queens nigga
No he’s not. He’s from queens. That’s all
nore is a funny mother fucker, but his pen game is suspect. Don’t get me wrong, we all know he has a few hits to his name, but some of those albums….questionable.
nore always stay true never sould out reality rap
He’s Puerto Rican….no sell out…
Who cares if he’s Puerto Rican? He went from being a thug rapper to hopping on that reggaeton, Gasolina shit because it was hot in the mainstream at the time. Sell out in my book.
Never sold out? What about that reggaeton bullshit?
point.
lol @ I know the Secret Service will knock on my door. ‘You text? Leave Hov alone.’ what a nonsense…. im not a doctor but it sounds as he suffers from paranoia
Guy is corny as fuck
LOL, this story corny as fuck. BALD-FACE-LIE. Why don’t this dudes just admit they worship Jay? All these lies just to get attention from the fans and Mr. HOV himself. Remember when FunkyMasterFlex did the same stunt saying HOV was calling him? #COMMONSON!
You know what? Jay-Z is calling me right now…hold on guys…I gotta answer this call. lol
Yea man i just had a conference call with beyonce kim kardashian kanye west and hov it was pretty intense then i hung up and when they tried calling me back i screened there call

You mean he sounded intelligent and used proper grammar?
You mean he sounded intelligent and used proper grammar?
yo what is the song playing @ the beginning. that he’s rapping on? what is that?
J prbly was intoxicated or just came up on some cash & wanted to put u on to this or one of his hot hoes B don’t know about. From what he tells me he b tried of her. He said she ain’t all that to her when I was at they house one time and they thought I was in the other room. She tried paying me not to say anything, he also said she sung like a cat and dog fucking on the phone to somebody & she over heard it and went bezerk at a event saying crazy, abusive, she was scared to leave with him. I don’t know how they got back together I guess she told him. He refused to go back so now she paying for his company + sex. Isn’t that dogish & trifling? She, she’s only bullshittin herself.

So you tell a false story on social media…the guy in question calls you to correct you. You run back to social media again…These days you cant even call a man privately without him running to a camera to talk like a chick. These are the same dudes that say they were goons, shooters, etc…
Damn nore you just gave more credit to the white race for speaking proper and being cordial. I guess black people cant speak proper
Nore runs his mouth entirely too much. His character in paid in full is exactly who he really is. A potty mouth. His music is trash. No classic albums. He denies being Black when clearly his features are of a black man. He’s half Puerto Rican through his dad who was also a Black man just spoke Spanish. Fuck this clown.
sooooooo he said he locked the number in… but earlier said it was a ” unknown” call… hummmm
