JAY-Z was coming for everybody on his album 4:44. He even threw a shot at Al Sharpton who has become an Internet sensation after uploading his pre-workout selfie: “Al Sharpton in the mirror takin’ selfies / How is him or Pill Cosby s’posed to help me? / Old niggas never accepted me”, Jigga rapped on “Family Feud”.

Then he told TMZ that he was flattered, he’s a fan of JAY-Z’s and thanks him for the plug.

For a 62-year-old man to go viral because he’s on his way to work out, it’s flattering. I’m giving a positive message, I’m telling the people, ‘stay in shape no matter what the age … He dogged out everybody, and then took a little shot at me. Hey, it’s all fun. I love Jay Z.

Al also mentioned that this wasn’t JAY-Z’s first time mentioning him in a song, and he’s right. Jay threw a shot at the activist in American Gangsta’s “Say Hello”:

And if Al Sharpton is speaking for me
Somebody give him the word and tell him I don’t approve
Tell him I remove the curses
If you tell me our schools gon’ be perfect
When Jena Six don’t exist
Tell him that’s when I’ll stop saying b*tch
