Vini Jr. swaps Drake track after Jay‑Z gaffe in Instagram post

Vinícius Júnior, the Real Madrid forward, posted an Instagram photo with his agent and music mogul Jay‑Z on 2 August. The post originally featured Drake’s song “Janice Stfu,” which includes verses that many fans read as indirect shots at Jay‑Z.

Following the backlash, Vini Jr. replaced the track with a version of Linkin Park’s “Numb” that features Jay‑Z. The images also showed him with his girlfriend Virginia Fonseca during trips to Italy, Jamaica and Rio de Janeiro. Jay‑Z’s agency also represents several other high‑profile footballers such as Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford.
