Trae Young’s Jay-Z take and the response of New York Knicks fans

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young has the internet buzzing again.

After appearing in viral offseason videos of playing pickup basketball with rapper 2 Chainz and actor Adam Sandler, it was a tweet of Young’s own that brought the social media wrath upon him.

“Yo when we gonna say Drake passed Hov?” Young tweeted at 2:52 a.m. ET, 52 minutes after Drake’s latest album “Certified Lover Boy” went live online Friday morning.

“Hov,” as Young refers to in his tweet, is rapper Jay-Z, who many hip hop fans consider one of the greatest, if not, the greatest rapper ever.
