Report: Robert De Niro Scolds Jay-Z for Not Returning His Calls

De Niro allegedly said he called the rapper six times

When Robert De Niro calls you six times, you call him back! Jay-Z is learning that lesson the hard way.

At Leonardo DiCaprio’s birthday party recently, De Niro chided the Brooklyn-born MC for not returning phone calls, the New York Post's Page Six reports.

Sources say that Jay tried to joke his way out of the situation, and even his wife, Beyoncé, tried to intervene, but De Niro was not having it.

“Bob was sitting at a table, and when Jay-Z went over to say hello, De Niro told Jay that he never called him back,” a source for the Post said.

But it didn't end there.

“Bob wasn’t in any mood to make polite conversation,” the source added. “He told Jay that if somebody calls you six times, you call them back. It doesn’t matter who you are, that is just rude.”

The lesson, as always: high school never ends.
