The many lyrical codes of Jay-Z’s 4:44 lyrics are still being decrypted by hip-hop enthusiasts everywhere. And while there’s a few lyrics that are still up for debate, one of the bars from his title track, "Kill Jay Z,” concerning a certain Atlanta trap star, Future, may be the most pressing of concerns.
Alluding to Fewtch’s relationship with the mother of his youngest son and former R&B songstress girlfriend, Ciara, Jay snuck in a bar about the controversial relationship that Baby Future shares with Cici’s new husband, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. The photo, which circulated widely across social media, captured the 3-year-old on a football field, his now-stepfather’s career stomping grounds, as he, Cici and Wilson enjoyed family time.
As an onlooker, Jay rapped in his “Kill Jay Z” lyrics that he’d pretty much be damned to let the same circumstances happen to him should he lose his wife and mother of his child. And it looks like the internet is concerned with where Fewtch’s head is at after such epiphanous lyricism.

Jay Z mentioning Eric Benet and alluding to Future doesn't seem like petty shade but a critique for BM to consider, in general. IMO.
