She also talked about how people pretend to be her while walking around in real life. “People put a f*ckin’ green and black wig on and go out in public and pretend to be me,” she said. “They hire security and get a nice car, to be famous for a day.

He couldn’t find me, he couldn’t get in touch with me for whatever reason.” When they finally did connect, Alicia revealed that Jay-Z didn’t like the first draft of the song. She explained, “I actually cut it in L.A. I think that was the problem. You’re not supposed to cut a song about New York in L.A. It’s just wrong. … After I sent it in … he hits me back like ‘Could you sing it again?’ … So then I brought it back to New York, I cut it right … and there it is.”
