Rapper Jay Z has hit out at Canadian singer Drake in a new track after the latter called him "corny".

The 44-year-old hip-hop artist has addressed the 'Hypher' hitmaker in his rap on Jay Electronica's new song, 'We Made It', after Drake called him "corny" for using art references in his music, reported Contactmusic.

"Sorry Mrs Drizzy for so much art talk/ Silly me, rapping about... That I really bought/ While these rappers rap about guns that they ain't shot/ And a bunch of other silly...That they ain't got," goes Jay Z's song.

This comes after Drake's interview to Rolling Stone magazine last month during which he criticised Jay Z.
 

"It's like Hov can't drop bars these days without at least four art references. I would love to collect art at some point, but I think the whole Rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny," he had said in the interview.
