Jay-Z has put himself in the middle of the Lebron James/DeShawn Stevenson beef. Hov has released a diss track, entiled “Blow The Whistle,” targeted at the Washington Wizards’ DeShawn Stevenson.

It all started right after Game One of the NBA Playoffs; Stevenson called Cleveland Cavaliers star, Lebron James, “overrated.” James responded: “With DeShawn Stevenson, it’s kind of funny. It’s almost like Jay-Z [responding to a negative comment] made by Soulja Boy. It doesn’t make sense.”
In response, for Game Three Stevenson brought Soulja Boyto heckle James courtside at Washington’s MCI Center.
In preparation for Game Five, Jay-Z has jumped to the defense of friend Lebron James by tearing Deshawn Stevenson apart to the beat of Too Short’s “Blow The Whistle.”
“Ask my nigga LeBron / we so big we ain’t gotta respond / When you talking to a don / Please have respect like you talking to your mom,” Jay raps.
Deshawn has admittedly been left bothered by how far his beef with Lebron has gone, but he isn’t upset by the diss track:
“Jay-Z is a legend. He’ll go down in history. No disrespect to Jay-Z. I take it as a compliment. I like his music. I like everything he does. I would never go at a legend.”
“People think I’m going at him, but they don’t see the little stabs that he’s doing,” Stevenson says of James. “When I had Soulja Boy here. It was on the court. It was nothing disrespecting him or his family or even foul language….This is basketball. I’m not worried about the song. I’m not worried about what he did. But for Damon Jones (Cleveland Cavaliers) to get on the mic. And I heard he was saying foul stuff about me and stuff like that, they’re taking it beyond basketball to me.”
That was a kickass article. What do I do now?
