Source: Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Jay-Z ‘s 4:44  album is arguably his most personal project to date. Along with music, Hov has released music videos, short doc “Footnotes,”  as well as a detailed interview on Rap Radar’s podcast. It’s no surprise if the people Jigga talks about on the project will have something to say. Apparently, one of these people was his mom. Jigga raps about his mom’s sexuality on the track “Smile,” spitting, ““Mama had four kids, but she’s a lesbian / Had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian.” According to Jay-Z, Ms. Gloria Carter wasn’t happy about her personal life being spilled on wax. Jigga talked about it on Rap Radar, saying, “We had a beautiful conversation that led to me making that song and I didn’t have permission to make that song. When she first heard the song, she was like, ‘Absolutely not.’ I was like, ‘This is so important. So many people in the world are hiding. This will help them.’ That’s all I’ll say about that.” Jigga also said the track was one of his “proudest songs.” He continued, “I was just so happy of the person she’s becoming. Live your life, be who you are.” You can check out Jay-Z’s full Rap Radar interview on Tidal .

Ludacris Says He And Tiger Woods Should Talk

‘Let’s go play some golf and talk about it,’ Atlanta MC says. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Sway Calloway Ludacris and Sway Photo: MTV News NEW YORK — Ludacris poked fun at Tiger Woods’ sex scandal on the intro to his new track “Sexting” from his forthcoming Battle of the Sexes album (due March 9), intimidating the embattled golf star’s frantic voice mail to one of his alleged mistresses. But the Atlanta rapper said there are no hard feelings behind the jab. “If I’m making fun of Tiger Woods, I’m also making fun of myself,” Luda told MTV News from Madison Square Garden before he took the stage Wednesday (February 24). On the Neptunes-produced song, “Sexting,” Luda raps about his own tale of sex addiction. “My girl went through my cell phone,” he spits, explaining how he got caught. Throughout the track, the Luda-as-Tiger voice mail plays. Luda said the track is only a reflection of reality. “This is what happens,” he explained of the inspiration behind the song. “So I’m just bringing to light what’s really going on in the world .” So, does Luda have a take on Tiger’s message to his mistress? “It’s very entertaining,” he laughed. “And I do feel as though he may have handled it wrong.” Ludacris, however, said he’d offer Tiger some advice — especially if the golf legend feels slighted by song. “I would say, ‘Let’s go play some golf and talk about it,’ ” he offered. “I take that back — I’d say, ‘Let’s go to the sex-rehab place together and let’s discuss it. Let me know where your sex-rehab place is and I’ll let you know where mine is. We got some things to get off our chest.’ Related Artists Ludacris
