Robert De Niro and Jay-Z got into a tense beef at
Leonardo DiCaprio’s birthday bash the other night, when De Niro called the
rapper disrespectful, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
Spies say “Godfather II” and “Taxi Driver” star De Niro gave Jay a
dressing-down in a roomful of celebs including Martin Scorsese because the
rap mogul had refused to return De Niro’s calls.
Sources add that Jay tried to joke his way out of the
situation, and even his wife, Beyoncé, tried to intervene, but De Niro
wouldn’t back down.
“Bob was sitting at a table, and when Jay-Z went over to
say hello, De Niro told Jay that he never called him back,” a source says.
A spy then overheard De Niro complaining to the rapper, a
fellow TriBeCa resident, about a song Jay-Z agreed to record for the Tribeca
Film Festival. De Niro had reached out to discuss further details, but Jay
never returned his calls.
“Bob wasn’t in any mood to make polite conversation,” the
spy says. “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.”
When Jay-Z tried to make a joke of it, saying he is
terrible on the phone, a source says, “De Niro kept telling him that he
thinks he’s the man, but that he was disrespectful.’ ”
“Beyoncé came over, but that didn’t calm Bob down,” the
source said, adding that afterward, “It was the talk of the party.
