Page Six drums up feud between Jay-Z, Kanye

HERE WE GO AGAIN: Page Six, which recently erroneously reported that Sylvia Rhone was going to Sony Music while also making up stuff about L.A. Reid (see I.B. Bad’s latest) reports this morning that “a battle royal has broken out” between Jay-Z and Kanye West just before the release of their new collaborative album, Watch the Throne. The requisite sources claim the two are barely speaking to each other because of a disagreement about production expenses on the duo’s upcoming tour, while Jay-Z is said to be meticulous about costs and already has a larger, long-term advance from Live Nation that he has to pay back. "Jay-Z can't deal with Kanye," an insider told Page Six. "Jay is a stone-cold businessman. He wants to recoup all of his money from Live Nation. But Kanye wants to upstage rock stars with a blowout show. He doesn't care about costs." Said another source, "Jay-Z is fed up with West's antics. He doesn't even want to be around him." But the item than says West is expected to go along with his partner’s more prudent plan, and that the two are expected to perform together at a listening party tonight at The Rose Planetarium in Central Park. That’s so Page Six: ramp up the inflammatory melodrama and then quietly debunk what it has just reported. (8/1a)
