President Barack Obama told Jay-Z he was worried the rapper's controversial trip to Cuba would cost him the White House ... this according to Jay-Z.
Hova just released a new rap, in which he addresses all of the drama surrounding his trip to Cuba last week with his wife Beyonce.
In the song, titled "Open Letter," Jay says ..."Politicians never did s**t for me ... except lie to me, distort history.”
He continues, "Obama said chill ‘You gonna get me impeached' ... We don’t need this s**t anyway chill with me on the beach.'"
The implication based on the lyric -- that Obama did something shady in helping Jay-Z and Beyonce get into Cuba and he could be in political hot water as a result.
The U.S. President Press Secretary DENIES Jay Z's claims
Quote:
The Hova Flap is Ovah! ... so says Prez Obama's press secretary.
Jay Carney told White House reporters ... the only reason Jay-Z implicated Obama in his new song is because it's hard to find something that rhymes with treasury.
As you know, in Hova's song, "Open Letter," he raps, "Obama said chill, 'You gonna get me impeached.' We don't need this s*** anyway. Chill with me on the beach."
But Carney claims POTUS had zero contact with Jay-Z about the Cuba trip, and it was all handled by the Treasury Dept.
Tacky namedropping from Mr. Carter yet again. I can't say I'm surprised. Mr. Carter is such a desperate social climber. Little does he know he is only a mover and shaker in the music industry and that's where that ends. To the real powers that be, he is nothing. Hip hop royalty he may be but he still is a ghetto fabulous rapper whose music has not evolved. He thinks he is more powerful than he actually is, and his thirstiness to attach himself to the President is quite amusing. He also tries to make it seem like he owns the entire Nets team when he only owns 1/15th of 1% share in the team
Obama didn't say anything And of course the Press Secretary is gonna deny it. Like duh. I'm not saying that Obama had Jay had contact about the trip, but it's not like the Obama's spokesperson would say so to make it seem like he gave them special treatment...
And there is NO clocking going on, this is just trying to keep the President's name out of some mess.
The line is not supposed to be taking literally anyway, it's ****ing HipHop.
I don't see why Obama and his wife still use the carters. I mean:
-Beyonce's letter to Michelle Obama
-The lip-synching
-The cuba fiasco
...
With that pressed avi of your, I'm not surprise seeing you in the first page of this thread like every other Carters thread related... Maybe if you worried a bit more on your faves flawed vocals and less on Beyonce's relationship with people, but we know damn right it won't happen anytime soon.
