Dolphins' Stills plays Nas at locker after Jay-Z practice playlist
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills responded to head coach Brian Flores' apparent trolling with an interesting music choice of his own Wednesday.
A day after Flores played eight straight Jay-Z songs at practice, Stills was heard listening to rapper Nas at his locker. Nas and Jay-Z have a long-standing beef that reportedly stems from the former failing to show up for a recording session for the latter's 1996 debut album, "Reasonable Doubt."
Now the speaker system by Kenny Stills locker room is playing NAS. If you know, you know. pic.twitter.com/wNy2yF8Tpt

Stills took issue with the partnership between Jay-Z's Roc Nation and the NFL earlier this week, which is why Tuesday's practice playlist raised some eyebrows. However, a Dolphins spokesperson said Stills was told about the playlist ahead of time and that it wasn't meant to challenge his stance on the partnership.
