Donald Trump and Jay Z have been taking shots at each other for about two years. Now the POTUS is once again criticizing Hov for a performance that took place during Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
Jay Z hosted a concert for Democratic supporters on Nov. 4, 2016, complete with performances from Big Sean, Chance the Rapper, and Beyoncé. Apparently, Trump is still upset about the size of the crowd Jay brought out, and said as much during a rally he hosted Tuesday night in Tennessee. As HotNewHipHop points out, in between comments about MS-13 and the border, Trump brought up the Clinton campaign and Jay Z’s use of profanity.
“He’d stand up before those crowds and he’d use the F-word, and Hillary would sit back, ‘I’m in trouble, I’m in trouble, oy, please don’t have him use that kind of language anymore.’ And then he’d finish and everyone would leave, and she’d be standing up making a speech to 400 people," Trump told the audience.
Trump first complained about Jay Z’s concert the day after it took place. "We don't need Jay Z to fill up arenas...we do it the old-fashioned way," he said at the time. "I actually like Jay Z, but the language last night, ohhhh...I was thinking, maybe I'll just try—should I use that language for one of mine?"
"Can you imagine if I said that?" Trump continued, speaking specifically on the lyrics Jay Z rapped in his songs. "So, he used every word in the book last night. He used language last night that was so bad, and then Hillary said, 'I did not like Donald Trump's lewd language.' My lewd language? I've never said what he said in my life! But that shows you the phoniness of politicians."
Of course, this isn’t a one sided battle. Back in January, Jay Z called Trump a “superbug” during an interview with Van Jones. Trump fired back with a tweet about black unemployment, and the war rages on.
It’s important to note that Trump’s criticism is more than hypocritical, considering he once bragged about grabbing women by the, you know.
