This almost looks like a reneactment of this 2005 XXL cover. Here are two photographs from Jigga and Trigga’s visit to casa blanca yesterday morning. Hov even brought his first lady along for the trip. (Rap Radar)
Writing via Twitter, Trey Songz confirmed their visit to the Washington, DC mansion.
“DC chillin,” he wrote Wednesday. “Had the honor of meeting Barack Obama today – Surreal – GOD bless The President and his family. @oneflynerd when he told me “Congratulations on all your success, I’m proud of you” @kauaib0y808 incredible right?” (Trey Songz’s Twitter)
Jay revealed his recent visit to the White House at a concert earlier this week.
Jay-Z took advantage of his time in the Beltway on Wednesday to visit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. “I just came from the White House,” he told the audience at the Verizon Center on the Washington, D.C., stop of his Blueprint 3 tour. According to The Washington Post, Hov made the remark during the last minutes of his concert. Officials confirmed to the Post on Thursday (March 4) that President Barack Obama had indeed met with the Brooklyn MC and the pair chatted briefly. In an interview overseas last month, Jay-Z revealed that when he once called President Obama, he heard BP3 playing in the background. (MTV)
The rapper has also discussed President Barack Obama’s interest in his music.
Rapper Jay-Z said President Barack Obama was among his biggest fans and that he frequently played the artist’s explicit tunes while exercising, it was reported Friday. The 10-time Grammy award winner said in an interview with U.K. broadcaster the BBC that the President enjoyed working up a sweat to the sounds of Jay-Z’s latest album, Blueprint 3. “Barack loves hip hop. When I called him he was playing Blueprint in the gym,” the star said. (My Fox)
