Jay-Z released his latest song ‘Open Letter’ this morning in response to critics who questioned his recent fifth anniversary trip with Beyonce to Havana, Cuba.
The couple received clearance for their “educational” journey from the U.S. Treasury Department after declaring their intention to meet with artists and musicians with evening trips to nightclubs to take in some live music.
Three prominent Republican Cuban Americans, Marco Rubio, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, pitched a collective political fit. Senator Rubio issued this statement: “U.S. law clearly bans tourism to Cuba by American citizens because it provides money to a cruel, repressive and murderous regime.”
The Treasury Dept. confirmed, “It is our understanding that the travelers in question traveled to Cuba pursuant to an educational exchange trip to promote people-to-people contact in Cuba.”
Jay-Z’s new tune declares, “I’m in Cuba, I love Cubans. This communist talk is so confusing. I done turned Havana into Atlanta…Boy from the hood, I got White House clearance..Politicians never did s*** for me except lie to me, distort history…They wanna give me jail time and a fine. Fine, let me commit a real crime.”
The rapper continued, “Hear the freedom in my speech… Obama said, ‘Chill you gonna get me impeached. You don’t need this s*** anyway, chill with me on the beach.'”
