Ice T Says JAY Z Took '99 Problems' From Him But Won't Acknowledge it

by HHL JT

"99 Problems" is one of JAY-Z's most iconic songs.

But Ice T thinks of it as his song.

The 64-year-old broke down how the song went from him to Chris Rock to Hov and expressed his annoyance that JAY has never acknowledged how it went down.

"And out of nowhere he said, 'Man I got 99 problems and a bitch ain't one.'  I said 'What?'  I said 'That's a song.'  So I made the song and then I called Marquis up and he did a verse on it. That was it.  Chris Rock heard the song, told Rick Rubin JAY-Z should remake it.  Jay heard the song, they paid for the publishing and they made the song.  Okay.  Why JAY-Z never said this is Ice-T's song?  Show me some love.  My and JAY are friends.  I met JAY with Big Daddy Kane.  That's just another way of handling the situation.  I handled the situation differently.  If I use your music I want to let people know," Ice-T said.

What do you think about that?
