Rapper Bobby Shmurda is keeping his foot on the gas when it comes to criticizing Hip-Hop mogul JAŸ-Z.
The Brooklyn rapper returned to Instagram this week with another series of posts aimed at the Roc Nation boss, continuing a public feud that has gained momentum following Jay-Z’s viral freestyle performance at the 2026 Roots Picnic.
Shmurda’s latest comments mixed criticism of the music industry with direct shots at Jay-Z’s legacy and reputation in Brooklyn.
In one post, the “Hot N***a” rapper shared a clip of Jeezy discussing Jay-Z’s involvement in the rollout of their collaboration, “Seen It All.” Shmurda used the video to question the influence of powerful figures in hip-hop.
“As y’all said, this is a billionaire,” Shmurda wrote, before accusing industry leaders of controlling opportunities and limiting access for younger artists.

The rapper also suggested that his own career suffered because of forces operating behind the scenes. He implied that influential figures benefited while emerging artists faced obstacles despite their success.
However, his most explosive remarks arrived in a separate video where he directly challenged Jay-Z’s credibility.
“Them never do the things they say,” Shmurda said. “Them never say them rap about things they never bust no bloodclaat clip.”
He then questioned whether Jay-Z’s lyrics accurately reflected his real-life experiences.
“[I’ve been] in Brooklyn 20 bloodclaat years mi never heard them bust one shot inna Brooklyn,” Shmurda said. “Mi never hear none of that.”
The rapper went even further by referencing Marcy Houses, the Brooklyn housing project where Jay-Z grew up.
“We a go Marcy Projects and ask all of them, ‘Yo, who here seen him in a shootout here?’” he added.
The latest criticism follows weeks of social media posts targeting the rap mogul. After footage of Jay-Z’s Roots Picnic freestyle spread online, Shmurda mocked both the performance and the Brooklyn legend’s appearance.
“Now niccas NWA lmaooo,” he wrote in one Instagram Story.
In another, he joked, “Niccas be 56 years old going through identity crisis.”
He later compared the performance to theater, posting, “This nicca doing Shakespeare.”
The tension has been brewing for months. Earlier this year, Shmurda lashed out during a livestream, declaring, “Man, fuck them n****s,” before referring to Roc Nation as “Opp Nation.”
For now, Shmurda shows no signs of backing down, as his public criticism of Jay-Z continues to fuel debate across hip-hop.
