Public Enemies: Jay-Z vs Kanye Channel4.com, until August 31 The feud between Kanye and Jay-Z seemed to spring up out of nowhere, when the former bro-mancers and musical collaborators turned against one another. The first shots were fired onstage, when West called out Jay-Z for apparently not visiting him after the Paris robbery, in which Kim Kardashian was held at gunpoint. “Don’t call me after the robbery and say, ‘How you feelin?’ You wanna know how I’m feeling? Come by the house... Bring the kids by the house, like we’re brothers.”
