By chance, on Monday Night Football, Aikman would see the renowned rapper inside SoFi Stadium. Then he would genuinely mention that meme.
“There’s a meme that’s going around, people think that’s my doppleganger, me and Jay-Z. How about that”

Troy Aikman is well recognized for being a Hall of Fame quarterback, a powerhouse in college football, and Joe Buck’s longtime partner on “Monday Night Football.”
He has become known as the White Jay-Z, whether he likes it or not. Aikman claimed a few weeks earlier that the meme “looked nothing like him.”. Aikman said
“There was a meme, it still pops up from time to time, from some game and it looks nothing like me, so I don’t know,”
Knowing that Aikman and Jay-Z were in the same building, we can say with certainty that they are not the same person.
