Jay-Z Seems to Fire Back at George Zimmerman’s Threats on DJ Khaled’s “Top Off”
It looks like Jay-Z has finally responded to the threats George Zimmerman reportedly made toward him back in December. And he appeared to do so in the most Jay-Z way possible, with a mean subliminal shot. Yesterday (March 2), DJ Khaled dropped his new single, “Top Off” featuring Jigga, Future and Beyonce. One of the most Conceited meme face-invoking moments on the track comes when Hov appears to send a shot at Zimmerman, the man infamously responsible for killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012.
“Meanwhile Georgie Porgie sinnin’ and sendin’ me threats/Save your breath, you couldn’t beat a flight of steps/Try that shit with a grown man/I’ll kill that fuckboy with my own hand,” Hov spits. Ouch.
The bars seem to be a direct response to Zimmerman threatening the New York rap mogul a few months back. Jay is executive producing a documentary series on Trayvon Martin’s life. In December, Zimmerman claimed film crews made unannounced visits to his family members’ homes in order to try and get interviews for the series, and the former neighborhood watchman was pissed. “I know how to handle people who fuck with me, I have since February 2012,” he reportedly told The Blast, adding, “anyone who fucks with my parents will be fed to an alligator.”
It sounds like Hov is willing to put the beats on Zimmerman, but has plans on exposing him in a more diplomatic way. Jay’s series, Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story is set to be released in July through the Paramount Network.

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON
New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.
The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.
Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.
Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.
Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.
Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.
While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.
The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
