The state of JAY-Z and Kanye West's long-running bromance has been the subject of much speculation and rumour over the past year or so.

While the pair have a long history – Kanye got his big break making beats for JAY, and the pair released joint album Watch the Throne in 2011 – things seemed to have turned a little sour as of late.

A much-discussed low point came last year when Kanye went on one of his trademark rants during a concert in Sacramento.

This time directing his ire at JAY and his wife Beyoncé, he harped back to THAT infamous 2009 MTV VMA drama with Taylor Swift where he stormed the stage after she won Video of the Year.

"Beyoncé, I was hurt! I heard that you said you wouldn't perform unless you won Video of the Year over me, and over 'Hotline Bling,'" he said. "In my opinion - now, don't go trying to diss Beyoncé, she is great. Taylor Swift is great. We are all great people, we are all equal."

He also said of his peer: "JAY-Z, call me, bro! You still ain't called me! JAY-Z, call me! JAY-Z, I know you got killers, please don't send them at my head. Just call me! Talk to me like a man!"

He also claimed that the rapper never brought his daughter Blue Ivy to his house to play with his and Kim Kardashian's kids, North and Saint West.

JAY has now finally addressed Kanye's words, saying that he "crossed the line" when he brought his family into the equation.

"What really hurt me, you can't bring my kids and my wife into it," he told the Rap Radar podcast with Elliott Wilson and B. Dot (via TMZ). "Kanye's my little brother, he made a song called 'Big Brother'.

"We've gotten past bigger issues but you brought my family into it - that's a problem with me, that's a real, real problem.

"He know that he crossed the line. I know him. He knows. I know he knows," the rapper continued of his and Kanye's fractured friendship.

"We've never let this much space go between one of our disagreements and we've had many, it's part of who we are, that's what I liked about him, he's this honest person, he'll say things - and he's wrong a lot of times - and we'll confront it."

C'mon, guys. It's time to kiss and make up.
