Nah, Jay was actually poppin' the Cristal bottles and speaking about in his raps as far back as his first single in '94. He was doing that from the jump.
Very first single dropped and one of his first videos.

To Guess to Versace, now it's diamonds like Liberace
-Coming of Age

‘In My lifetime ngga go do your research, St Thomas my ngga that was me first’. That video came out in 95 maybe even 94
A lot of you nggas need to realize it’s okay to not know some shyt. Dudes was barely alive but try to rewrite history
Edit: wrote a bunch of sht but I gotta back track.
I was gonna say y'all can show me the times jay wore Versace or had some bottles but jay wasnt Poppin enough to be looked at as the "Versace wearing, cris Poppin, fly rapper" that someone should emulate.
Back then he wasnt that nikka
He became that nikka later, where he separated himself on some big boss, getting all the money nikka
But I can't say what some nikkaz in VA saw. And what they gravitated to.

It’s not hard to believe that some bruhs. Wasn’t fukking with Nas’s style and street poet rhymes. Over Jay’s style and hustler/flashy rhymes lol. It’s called having an opinion, and Pusha’s homies opinions was. That they wasn’t feeling Nas’s bars or style. Not everyone is going to like your favorite rapper and that’s ok.

Typing all that bs for nothing lol. If some VA bruhs don’t like Nas’s style or bars. Who cares y’all are getting mad over opinions.
