JAY-Z's verse on DJ Khaled's God Did featuring Rick Ross Lil Wayne and John Legend explained with full song audio.
He raps “Me and Meek could never beef, I freed that ni**a from a whole bid, Hov did,” in reference to the reported millions of dollars Jay contributed to Meek’s legal funds to help free him when he was incarcerated.
