Just before this week’s New York Times Best Sellers list dropped, showing Jay-Z’s ‘Decoded’ at the number three position on the Non-Fiction list, rumors started running that the book’s co-author, Dream Hampton, was feeling a little miffed about the amount of credit Hovi Hov’s been giving her. But is beef really brewing?

In an exclusive statement to Bossip, Hampton says emphatically NO.

“Not at all! He gave me thee sweetest shoutout in the acknowledgement section, said I wrote it on HOT 97. The book is a COLLABO and we’re both happy as sh*t about it’s debut at #3 on the NY Times BestSeller list.”

Shortly after we asked, Hampton clarified the situation further. Head over to BossipTwitter.com to see what she had to tweet about it.
