Jay-Z and Dez Bryant Slam Jerry Jones in Micah Parsons' Feud
Jerry Jones' Firing Line: Rapper Jay-Z and Former Cowboys Star Dez Bryant Call Out Owner Over 'Disrespectful' Comments
In a shocking turn of events, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been put on blast by none other than rapper Jay-Z and former Cowboys star Dez Bryant over his recent comments regarding the Micah Parsons contract debacle. The drama-filled situation has left football fans and industry insiders alike wondering what's really going down in Big D.
As reported earlier on thescholarlynote.com, Jerry Jones sparked controversy when he brought up 2015 negotiations with Bryant and Jay-Z's agency Roc Nation while discussing the mess surrounding Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. Parsons recently requested a trade amid a tense contract standoff, releasing an explosive statement that put Jones and the Cowboys in the hot seat.
The bombshell came when Jones told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: 'Because when we have a problem with the player, the agent is nowhere to be found.' This statement was met with swift backlash from Jay-Z, who fired back on social media, saying that Jones' comments were not only "comical" but also "disrespectful."
Jay-Z recalled his past negotiations with Jerry Jones and Roc Nation, stating: 'In 2015, at the 21 club, on a napkin, Jerry Jones, Juan Perez, Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, and Stephen Jones negotiated a five-year, $70million deal, which included a $45m guarantee and a $20m signing bonus for Dez Bryant.' He added that Roc Nation representatives had been more than cooperative during the negotiations.
But what really got Jay-Z's goat was Jones' claim that he'd tried calling him when he had issues with Bryant. 'He said I quit taking his calls,' Jay-Z revealed on social media. 'Well, let me set the record straight – I'm always available for my clients and their representatives.'
Dez Bryant himself chimed in on the situation, warning Jones to stop bringing up his name. In a scathing social media post, he threatened to spill more tea if the Dallas owner didn't back off: 'JERRY JONES I DONT THINK ITS SMART TO MENTION MY NAME,' he wrote. 'I KEPT QUIET ABOUT A LOT OF UNFAIR S*.. WE CAN HAVE STORY TIME IF THATS WHAT WE ARE DOING.'
Bryant hinted at more juicy secrets from his time with the Cowboys, saying: 'Yall don’t understand the amount of s* I let slide.. do not mention my name about s*... it was disrespectful.' Roc Nation also joined in on the fray, releasing a statement that read: 'The claim that Mr. Carter or Roc Nation representatives did not return a call from Jerry Jones is not only a false statement, but it’s also a comical one.'
As the drama unfolds, fans are left wondering what's really going down in Dallas. Will Jerry Jones apologize for his comments? Will Jay-Z and Bryant reveal more secrets about their time with the Cowboys? Stay tuned to find out!
