Just Blaze tweeted a selfie with Grammy-winning singer-songwriter The-Dream to dispel any confusion since he’s sick of being confused for The-Dream.
The “Song Cry” producer clarified the rumors about his alleged twin on Instagram on Friday (July 14) while in New York City to support the opening of JAY-Z’s new “The Book of HOV” exhibition.
Producer of “Girls, Girls, Girls” remembered instances when he walked the red carpet at award ceremonies and was accidentally introduced as The-Dream.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s The Dream!! I endured many a red carpet back in the late 2000s and early 2010s. I then introduced myself as Justin and caused a commotion for everyone. Oh, the dream, and Justin is really him! ‘No. He wrote, “I’m Just Blaze.
Just Blaze also recalled a time when, when in New York City, he and Dream were photographed wearing the same outfit as they left Ralph Lauren and were identified as the co-authors of “Umbrella” by photographers.
We once left RL Soho wearing the same clothing within 30 minutes of one another, and the same Pap took pictures of us both and uploaded me as him, which didn’t help, Blaze continued. Anyhow, here is evidence that @thekingdream and I are not the same person.
Many admirers expressed their pleasure in the comment section, even if they hadn’t noticed the parallels previously. One user commented, “I see it now lol yeah, y’all from the same tribe,” and another added, “Now I can’t unsee it.”
While working on records like The Blueprint and The Black Album in the renowned Baseline Studios, which were reconstructed as part of the “The Book of HOV” exhibition, Just Blaze and JAY-Z produced a ton of hits.
Before its official inauguration on Friday, the Brooklyn official Library held a private celebration on Thursday evening (July 13), where guests included Fat Joe, Yo Gotti, Lil Uzi Vert, Rakim, DJ Khaled, Questlove, and more.
JAY-Z, the man of the hour, was also present, along with his wife Beyoncé and their child Blue Ivy.
The multimedia exhibition, according to its official website, “presents thousands of archived objects, including original recording masters, never-before-seen photos, iconic stage wear, prestigious awards and recognitions, as well as videos and artifacts from every facet on JAY-Z’s professional life.”
The exhibition, which follows the multibillionaire’s rise from the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn to international fame, aims to “provide a behind-the-scenes look at a Hall of Fame songwriter and performer, successful business person, and a consequential philanthropist” while honoring his “artistry, roots, accomplishments, and transcendent cultural impact.”
