Jay-Z and Robert De Niro's beef is still alive and well, it seems.

The rapper has said that he has not forgiven the 'Goodfellas' legend over their well-publicised spat last year.

The pair clashed at a restaurant in New York, where De Niro was celebrating the birthday of Leonardo DiCaprio with other stars including Martin Scorsese and Cameron Diaz.

De Niro claimed that Jay-Z had not returned a series of phone calls after he had previously promised to record a track for his Tribeca Film Festival.



When asked whether they had made up yet while being interviewed on New York radio station Power 105.1, Jay-Z said: “Who, no, no I haven’t.

“I treat people based on who they are… who they really are. Not the name, not Robert De Niro, like, you know, who you are as a person.

“It doesn’t matter who you are, everyone has to be respectful and everyone has to be a human being.

“No one is above. That’s just the end of it and that’s how I carry it with anybody.”

After the incident, an 'insider' told the New York Post: “Bob wasn’t in any mood to make polite conversation. He told Jay that if somebody calls you six times, you call them back. It doesn’t matter who you are, that is just rude.”

“De Niro kept telling him that he thinks he’s the man, but that he was disrespectful,” they added. “Beyoncé came over, but that didn’t calm Bob down.

“It was the talk of the party. Everyone was saying there’s only one star in New York bigger and badder than Jay-Z, and that’s Robert De Niro. He can be quite scary when he’s angry.”
