Jay-Z doesn’t want to fight

By Quibian Salazar-Moreno

      Jay-Z agreed to be a secret character in NBA Live 07 for Xbox 360 and PS3, but if you expect to see him in the recently announced Def Jam: Icon, think again. Last week EA Games announced the development and release of Def Jam: Icon for Xbox 360 and PS3 in March 2007. Past games have featured most of Def Jam’s roster of artists like Ghostface Killa, Ludacris and Slick Rick, but never Jay-Z. And he won’t be on this one either.

      "Jay doesn’t do fighting games," Former Def Jam prez Kevin Liles said at an EA PS3 event in San Francisco. "He’s an avid gamer. He’s a ‘Madden’ fan. He’s a great friend of mine. But that’s not something he does. I guess it’s important to him to keep a certain cool that he has."

      So that dream matchup between Nas and Jigga? Not gonna happen. Apparently Hova doesn’t want people fantasizing about beating him up.
