After a confrontation at Leonardo DiCaprio’s birthday bash last year, it doesn’t look like Jay Z will be speaking to Robert De Niro anytime soon.

According to sources, Jay Z and De Niro exchanged a few words after the actor confronted the rapper about not returning any of his calls.

When the 43-year old rapper was asked if he was in touch with De Niro, he said: “Who, no, no I haven’t. I treat people based on who they are… Who they REALLY are. Not the name, not Robert De Niro, like, you know, who you are as a person.” Adding, “It doesn’t matter who you are, everyone has to be respectful and everyone has to be a human being. No one is above. That’s just the end of it and that’s how I carry it with anybody.” 

Right–so since Jay feels disrespected by Robert De Niro, we’re guessing the two won’t be speaking on the phone in the near future.
