Houston rap veteran Trae Tha Truth and Fabolous flexed their political connects this week. The duo surprised social media by attending a private White House dinner in Washington, DC.
Trae treated fans to shots from an unexpected presidential outing at President Barack Obama‘s palace.
Recent, President Obama dished out his admiration for today’s biggest rap stars.
“I think the young guys, Kendrick [Lamar] and Chance [the Rapper] are doing amazing work. I love Drake, and the girls love Drake, and, you know, so, he’s commercially just doing great, and unbelievably talented. And, you know, Jay Z’s still the king. I mean, you know, he’s got a track record. Same with Kanye [West], so there’s a lot of talent out there, but when I look at who’s breaking new ground, Kendrick and Chance, those guys are doing just amazing work. And they’re wonderful young men. Chance, I’ve known for years ’cause his dad was my state director when I was a senator in Illinois, so I first met Chance when he was 8 years old, and so we’ve been family for a while. And Kendrick, you know, he’s blowing it up. He’s doing great.” (“Sway In The Morning”)
