And it seems that Justin Timberlake returned the favour when he performed on Saturday Night Live on Saturday night.
The 32-year-old singer appeared to be responding to Kanye's swipe, which featured in a 10-minute onstage intro to Clique during a live performance in the British capital last month.
Returning the favour: Justin Timberlake took a
swipe at Kanye West when he performed his hit song Suit & Tie on
Saturday Night Live on Saturday
He rhymed while addressing the audience along to a melody: ‘Remind me again who’s the original superfly. Man, I got love for Hov but I ain’t f***ing with that Suit & Tie.’
Justin responded to the jibe in his rendition of Suit & Tie alongside Jay-Z on Saturday's late night program by slightly adjusting the lyrics of the song.

Slight tweak: The former Backstreet Boy replaced the
words 'Aww, s*** so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit' to 'my hit's
so sick got RAPPERS acting dramatic'
The swipe come after Kanye shocked fans when he appeared to be dissing Jay-Z and Justin's latest musical efforts.
A video from Kanye's London show showed the rapper making reference to his pal’s track with Justin.
At the time, the crowd seemed stunned to hear his less than complementary remark and some boos could be heard in reaction.

It also came just one day after Justin and Jay-Z announced official plans to go on tour together.They will embark on 12 stadium dates across the U.S. and Canada, for a trek dubbed Legends of the Summer.
Up until now, Kanye and Jay-Z have enjoyed quite the bromance as they carried out the Watch The Throne tour to promote an album of the same name.

The NBA star is currently on the Brooklyn Nets which Jay-Z partly owns.
And in 2009 he jumped on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards interrupting Taylor Swift’s Best Female Video acceptance speech as he claimed Jay-Z’s wife Beyonce Knowles should have won.

Kanye also had a bone to pick with the Grammy Awards after Jay-Z and Justin collaborated at the ceremony last month.
He said prior to his Suit & Tie diss: ‘Remind me again why we in this s***. Remind me again why the Grammys can suck my d***.’

He says: ‘Yeah, I'm talking Ye, yeah, I'm talking Rih. Yeah, I'm talking B, n***a, I'm talking me.’
While it would have been early days for Kanye’s partner Kim – who is expecting to give birth to his child in July - to get a mention, she may not be added into the equation now as Jay-Z will most likely be spending much of his time with Justin and his actress wife Jessica Biel.
