Jay-Z Clarifies The ‘Water To A Whale’ Line From ‘U Don’t Know’
Following Arby's and Pusha T's diss track to McDonald’s, fans are wondering if Pusha’s made a reference to Jay-Z’s Blueprint cut “U Don’t Know.” In the “Spicy Fish Diss Track,” Push raps, “I could sell water to a whale,” directly referencing “U Don’t Know.” In the lyric video, Push says “whale” but it was making fans wonder if Jay-Z originally said, “I’m a hustler baby, I sell water to a whale,” or “sell water to a well.”

Hip-hop journalist Sowmya Krishnamurthy reached out to Just Blaze who produced “U Don’t Know” for some clarification on the lyrics.
“Haaaa!!!! Well/whale,” said Jay, in a text from Blaze. “It’s never a coincidence when these things happen. I try to make things work on multiple levels every time I sit down to create. It keeps me engaged.”
