The "red hat" reference was assumed by many listeners to be referencing West supporting President Donald Trump and wearing a Make America Great Again hat. Jay said that's not the case in a rare tweet.
“The line clearly meant don’t pit me against my brothers no matter what our differences are (red hat) now go pick up Meek album,” he wrote. “Drake and Meek on there together.”

Variety reported that West replied "Throne 2" with an emoji of a man shrugging. The two previously released a joint album, "Watch the Throne," in 2011.
Throne 2 🤷🏿♂️
