However, several of his fans supported the singer. A fan commented, “He didn’t say he’d body or is better than Jay Z, he’s saying in 2020 he has 30 to 40 songs concert-going audiences know the words to and Jay Z doesn’t”. Another fan wrote, “People know 30-40 of this dudes songs the same way little kids memorize nursery rhymes. A stadium of people won’t know all the words to every Jay song because they’re lyrically complex. This is like comparing counting to 100 with calculus. Stop it”.
