Story highlights Jay-Z dropped his first album in four years "4:44" on Friday

Fans immediately began to question if this was a response to his Beyoncé's 2016 album, 'Lemonade'

(CNN) Jay-Z dropped his new album "4:44" at midnight on Friday and sent the Internet into a frenzy.

The rapper is calling his title track, "4:44" off the album one of the "best songs" he's ever written.

"'4:44' is a song that I wrote, and it's the crux of the album, just right in the middle of the album. And I woke up, literally, at 4:44 in the morning, 4:44 AM, to write this song," he told iHeartRadio's The Beat in an exclusive interview. "So it became the title of the album and everything. It's the title track because it's such a powerful song, and I just believe one of the best songs I've ever written."

Fans are questioning whether "4:44" is a response to his wife's 2016 visual album "Lemonade" in which she seemingly called him out on nearly every track, sparking rumors of infidelity.
