Jay-Z has responded to Lil' Wayne after the rapper criticised him in a song on his new album.

Lil' Wayne mocked Jay-Z on the song 'It's Good' after apparently being provoked by a track Jay-Z had released with Kanye West.

In the song, Lil' Wayne threatens to kidnap Jay-Z's wife Beyonce: "Talkin' 'bout baby money, I got your baby money / Kidnap your bitch, Get that 'how much you love your lady?' money."

Speaking to MTV News, Jay-Z played down the feud and said clashes between rappers were part of hip-hop.

"That's sport, that's rap music," he said. "Nothing is going to change but the participants. I don't even see why that's news."

Meanwhile, Jay-Z and his mother Gloria Carter staged a special fundraising carnival for their organisation, The Shawn Carter Foundation, in New York last week.

Known as The Bridge Wars, the beef arose from a dispute over the true birthplace of hip-hop; whether it was BDP's South Bronx or Juice Crew's Queensbridge. Over the ensuing years, a string of strong-worded tracks were released from both sides, vehemently deriding their rivals. In 2007, the feud reached an unlikely end when BDP's KRS-One and Juice Crew's Marley-Marl recorded the album together 'Hip-Hop Lives'.
