With LeBron James recently crowning himself the "king of New York," Jay-Z decided to get back at him by claiming the same title in Cleveland.

During his concert in The Land on Sunday, the legendary New York rapper recounted a conversation he had with James the previous night.

"I'm with LeBron in Detroit last night. I said, 'Ay man, you my guy and all that. You can't be taking pictures in the Garden, talking about you're the King of New York,'" Jay-Z told the crowd. "So I told him, I'm coming to Cleveland, I'm the king of Cleveland now."
