JAY-Z dropped his 13th solo album [1], 4:44, on Thursday night, and boy, did people lose their minds. In the social media explosion that followed the Tidal exclusive release of 4:44, several fans were quick to dole out their initial thoughts on the album, commenting on everything from Jay's infidelity [2] to the infamous elevator incident [3] with Solange Knowles. Here are the best Twitter reactions we found.
Jay-z responded to Beyoncé Lemonade on 4:44. Takes the blame and takes shots at the haters. #JAYZ [5] #JayZ444 [6] pic.twitter.com/MGmHeEQgBp [7]
