Sorry, LeBron, there is only one king of New York.

Following the Cavaliers’ 104-101 comeback victory over the Knicks last week, LeBron James declared himself Big Apple royalty on Instagram, posting a photo of himself on the court inside Madison Square Garden. The social share, which has garnered more than 1.5 million likes, didn’t sit well with Brooklyn-born Jay-Z, who took a shot at Cleveland’s favorite son in return.

During the rapper’s show Sunday in the Cavaliers’ home city, Jay-Z told concertgoers about a recent discussion he had with pal James, who attended his performance in Detroit the day before.
