Yet another Jay-Z associate has decided to come out and say how Jay did him wrong. This time it’s De-Haven, who is even releasing an upcoming DVD about the two’s falling out.

De-Haven explains that he still doesn’t understand why Jay distanced himself saying:

“Everybody hears it through Jay-Z’s lyrics, you know, that’s who I am. Basically, I was his right-hand man. Beyond that, we was brothers. As you’ll see, I’m getting ready to put out a documentary, it’s actually doing to lay out everything so you’ll understand even why the YouTube is being put together…It’s beyond just friendship, it goes a little deeper than that…I feel he disrespected me for a while, and I chose to come out and say something now…The specific reason why we had a falling out? That’s the $10 million question right now…I get asked that everyday. And the bottom line, that’s what I’m trying to find out. What happened? Why this disrespect? For him to not even give me time, even to act like he didn’t know me, for all that I sacrificed, all that my people’s sacrificed, all that my family sacrificed. I never knew it would get to this…”

Jay-Z’s response to this guy came about 3 years ago on a song called “No Hook”, which was featured on Jay’s American Gangster album back in ’07..

“I’m gonna follow the rules no matter how much time I’m gonna get/I’m gonna live and die with the decisions that I’m gonna pick/So f*ck De-Haven for cave in, that’s why we don’t speak/Made men ain’t supposed to make statements/End of the story I followed the code cracked the safe/Other n*ggas ain’t in the game so they practice hate…”
