In the song, entitled “Open Letter,” Jay-Z brags that he “got White House clearance” for his latest controversial journey to Cuba with wife Beyonce.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney today refuted the White House had any engagement with their journey, saying the Treasury Department manages all clearances for travel to Cuba.
“I guess not anything rhymes with Treasury,” Carney joked.
In the song, Jay-Z furthermore explains a conversation he had with President Obama about his trip. “Obama said, ‘Chill, you, gonna get me impeached… We don’t need this s-t anyway, chill with me on the beach,” he raps in the almost three-minute song.
Carney dismissed the assertion. “It’s a song,” he said. “The president did not communicate with Jay-Z over this trip.”
“I am absolutely saying that the White House, from the leader on down, had not anything to do with anybody’s individual — anybody’s journey to Cuba. That is something that Treasury handles,” he said.
Jay-Z and Beyonce’s trip to Havana was government-sanctioned and allowed through a licensed program that encourages “meaningful associates” with Cubans.
According to the new song, they “turned Havana into Atlanta” with “Guayabera tops and bandanas,” Jay-Z raps.
I wager Rick Ross is wishing his recital' about drugging and raping a woman was just a recital' too.
