Many fans questioned why Jay didn’t join his famous wife at the Superbowl back in 2013.

But the rapper made sure he let them know, rapping on the track: “I said no to the Super Bowl/ You need me, I don't need you/ Every night we in the endzone/ Tell the NFL we in stadiums too.”

He also took aim at the Grammys, after failing to win any gongs for his album 4:44 despite leading the nominations.

Jay added: Tell the Grammys f*** that 0 for 8 s**t/ Have you ever seen the crowd goin’ ape**t?”

Beyonce also took aim at Spotify and the criticism levelled at her when she only released Lemonade on Tidal, the streaming service she launched with Jay.

She sang: “Patiently waiting for my demise / Cause my success can’t be quantified/ If I gave two f***s about streaming numbers, would’ve put Lemonade up on Spotify.”
