Awkward moment: Jay-z tells Kanye “I cant fire Chris from the nets even if I wanted to” LOL!!!

Kanye West shut down by the REAL Nets owner, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov…

When Kanye West released his new single Theraflu, proclaiming his love for Kim Kardashian, there’s a line in the song where Kanye threatens Kim’s estranged husband Kris Humphries with having him bounced from the New Jersey Nets basketball team by his bff and Knicks minority stake holder Jay Z.

Yeah well, that didn’t exactly fly with the team’s majority stake holder Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov.

In a statement released to the press Prokhorov points out,

“Kris has nothing to worry about. I support my players, and I’m on his side in this epic battle.”

Yeezy has also been forced to change the name of the single to ‘Way Too Cold’ after catching heat from the real Theraflu makers who weren’t amused about being associated with Kanye’s romance with Kim Kardashian.
