Nachdem der 50 Cent Track Flight 187  in der Vergangenheit Diskussionen über einen möglichen Jay-Z Diss entfacht hatte, hat sich nun 50 Cent in einem Interview mit MTV persönlich zu Wort gemeldet, um die Gerüchteküche zu stoppen: Flight 187  sei definitiv kein Jay-Z Diss, so der G-Unit Gründer. Im Song Flight 187 vergleicht 50 Cent Rapperkollegen Jay-Z   beispielsweise mit dem Comedian Steve Urkel und begründet dies wie folgt:  "It was the glasses. They saw the glasses. I didn't Photoshop glasses on him. I think Jay is really conscious of his actual moves. He does those things to make a statement in different ways to create clarity that he doesn't have to be the way people want him to be. He can so what he wants. But out of the perspective of me mentioning things I thought were interesting." Außerdem erklärt 50 Cent die besondere Aufruhe um den etwaigen Jay-Z  Diss mit Jigga s Bedeutung innerhalb der Szene - ganz besonders im Zuge des Blueprint 3 Releases.  "I even wrote, ' Em made me a star and Dre is taking a long time to mix my records. I gotta talk to Ji mmy Iovine about it.' I wrote about Britney Spears . I said a lot of interesting things on the record, but they focus on Jay because his album is releasing. Of course, with those marketing dollars being spent, he's the focus. The new XXL , there's about 40 pages of Jay-Z on there. That boy is serious when it comes to his album layout."
