Jay Z will officially perform at a free concert supporting presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on November 4, less than a week ahead of Election Day, Buzzfeed reports.
“Jay Z will be joined at the concert by special guests to encourage unity and urge Ohioans to support Clinton by voting early or on Election Day,” Clinton’s campaign said in a statement.
Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis starting Friday (October 28). Sign up here to receive ticket information.
The Democratic presidential candidate said today (October 26) in an interview with The Breakfast Club she was “thrilled” at having Hov’s support and that of so many different people.
Election Day is November 8 where Clinton faces off against Republican hopeful Donald Trump.
(This article was first published October 24, 2016 and is as follows.)
Jay Z is scheduled to perform a concert in Cleveland, Ohio in support of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, which is set to happen sometime before the November 8 election day, according to Buzzfeed.
The goal of the event is reportedly to curry the support of young black voters in a state where President Barack Obama squeezed out Democratic victories in 2008 and 2012 after Republican wins in 2000 and 2004. In this election, Clinton is running against GOP candidate Donald Trump. No president has ever won an election without scoring the swing state of Ohio.
Hov has a history of supporting the Democratic party. In 2012, the Hip Hop mogul and Bruce Springsteen headlined a similar concert in Columbus alongside President Obama the night before his reelection.
The Clintons and The Carters have seemingly become closer recently. This spring, the former Secretary of State had high praise for Beyonce’s LEMONADE album. Last month, former president Bill Clinton was in attendance at Hov’s Made in America Music Festival in Philadelphia and shared a few laughs with Mr. and Mrs. Carter backstage as Beyonce celebrated her 35th birthday.
Jay’s “Drug Dealers Anonymous” partner Pusha T has also sided with the Clinton campaign, joining potential Vice President Tim Kaine at a rally in Florida earlier in October. Clinton offered fans a chance to meet Pusha T when they registered to vote.
Why in Ohio?
Because it’s a swing state in which trump is currently polling well
So Jay isn’t a Black Republican? Fuck this traitor!
Us educated folks ain’t stupid. Hillary check book is open for business and buying up all and any types of endorsements.
Im crossing my fingers and I hope trump wins this election so we can all see Hillary rot in hell when she goes to jail
Me too !!! TRUMP all the way….WHY ??? I like all his policies and he says what I have been saying for years…..and I want HIM to choose candidates to fill the Supreme court seat that is vacant now and any others in the next four years !
I know their going to be some Hillary ass kissers this site I reall don’t care what people think
99 Reasons not to vote for Hillary, & Jay-Z is one.
jay a regular old house nigga now i guess selling out like this
Because Jay don’t support trump he a house nigga You sound stupid You the house niggah
no because he supports hillary who refers to our youth as super predators you the dumb nigga
Trying real hard for them black votes…lol how about actualy standing up for people and giving to people then just trying to pretend your shit your not you crooked old hoe?
As if I needed a reason to never listen to any new Jayz pop tracks. I loved him basically 2005 and earlier. But he went pop like they all do. And campaigning for hillary? Fuck him. All these celebrities think they can inspire us to vote for a lying thieving scumbag. Nope. You celebrities live in Hollywood while we live paycheck to paycheck. Maybe if you were in our shoes you’d understand why we put more trust in Trump, who isn’t nice, but tells the harsh truth that other politicians pretend doesn’t exist. But again, “FUK JAYZ” (said in NAS deep ether voice haha).
So basically you’re admitting to being a broke nigga? Bahahaha! BROKE NIGGA ALERT! BROKE NIGGA ALERT!
Seriously? I’m a hard working man, I’m not broke but I’m basically living paycheck to paycheck with about $1200 a month in living expenses, and making like $500 a week. To be middle class nowadays you need to be making at least $1000 a week. No need to belittle someone becUse they work for what they have and don’t take the easy way drug dealing ruining people’s lives.
Valid point, nevermind the 14 year old. I just can’t vote. This time around it’s a circus, and trumps wall will split my fam. I wonder how much Clinton paid his shark ass to perform
IF fif jay and puffy all saying fuck trump… and we all only vote because if not we die… then I guess we gotta listen.
Think for your self……don’t be guided to the cliff….only to fall……..
Even with 100’s of millions of dollars, still just a couple of house-broke shit-shoveling c00ns.
Cognitive dissonance, while your sitting in front of your keyboard in your mom’s damp and squalid basement, he’s building assets ..You poor silly cuck wasting your life away online trolling …LMAO all that white privilege and this is what your tired life’s like .. Just another depressed bitter and twisted old man !!
I will knock you the fuck out I’m actually super rich and built like a brick shithouse you A-hole!
It’s 2016 and this guy still thinks he lives in a democracy and that voting matters. Newsflash: Makes no difference which puppet they (s)elect into the office – same hidden hand is holding both of them.
America the most brainwashed nation on the face of Earth , how can people vote for Hillary , do you anything about the state of world politics at the present moment . Hillary is going to make Iran , kim Jong-Un , Putin , Xi Jinping Bomb all your asses that lady is a clown . . .
or yeah i forgot Rodrigo Duterte
killary is all about 3rd world war. hurry up and vote her!
Typical of Jigga to jump on the bandwagon when it’s almost guaranteed to succeed.
there is no way shillary is winning. why the fuck else would she pay jayz to campaign for her in a swing state if she was winning. all the polls are a lie, every thing about the bitch is a lie or conspiracy. i hope she fucking rots in hell.
Trump is def taking that L. Jay always jumps on that bandwagon. Plus that whole shit these right wings are feeding you about lies in the media are lies to save faces because they know they lost this race. By all means though, keep wishing, but youll be disappointed come election day.
a little late to the party like always
Blacks still being bamboozles by the Democrats. Yet nothing changes, blacks will still be shot n jailed by the state n remain in poverty
And your point is sweetie ?
just by looking at that picture you can now Clinton fucked beyonce
Oooh your user name is hot !!!!!!!!!!!
A 1%er telling u to support another 1%er so they can remain rich n u remain on scraps. Can’t wait to vote, lol
“run the faucet, I’ma dunk a bunch of Trump supporters underwater”
Fuck feminem I was one of his biggest fans . I coped all his early stuff wayyyyyy before he even got signed by Dre . Rocking with him from day 1 before any of you’s had even heard of him . After what he said in that election freestyle/song or whatever it’s meant to be I will never EVER support him again #youletmedownem #neversupportingyouagain #whothefuckdoyouthinkyouare
People can tell from the way you type that you are a fake. Your linquistic fingerprint differs way too much from mine. Just wanted to tell you that. Wonder what i typed that got under your skin so bad you felt the need to start using my name? That’s pathetic. After this i won’t be giving you any attention that you crave oh so much.
^ No disrespect buddy but you do know that’s not your name right ?
Jay ain’t voting for Hillary, sure he’ll pretend he is for the money and to save face for the black community…but on the sneak that dude is voting Trump. Ain’t nothing democratic about Jay’s rise, Jay made it thru big business just like Trump. Jay-Z is as republican as they come man…he didn’t make it by receiving handouts , he made it thru capitalism. Don’t be so naive
Remember back in 2006, Jay said he was a Black Republican? And now, he’s rolling with the enemy?! Hope Nas stays true to his word and votes Trump! Jay is a traitor!
HERE COME THE BOURGEOISIES DOIN’ THE DEVIL’S WORK!!!!
misread this as “Hilarys Court Date” lol
How much did Crooked Hill’s campaign pay this site for the promotion and propaganda a HIPHOP site has been spewing. Are the writers getting a piece of that pie? DX sold it’s soul to spearhead a criminal’s wishes to steal a presidency. I’m no Trump supporter, because he’s a piece of s h i t too, but as a music site this is embarrassing to the culture and everything it stands for. F U C K O F F DX and F U C K this election
This shit went from a real election to please-vote-anybody-but-trump. Hillary has prolly paid republicans to back trump so she can get elected simply cuz of his notoriety.
Hillary is 69 years old. She must be the only elderly person in the USA who is hanging with Jayz. This is what Rolling Stones has to say about HRC’s music choices.
“Like most in her generation, Clinton grew up with classic rock: “The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, the Who and the Doors,” she said recently, “all of that, plus I like classical music because I find it relaxing when I’m thinking about stressful things.” During college, she was dancing to Elvis and Supremes songs.”
Anyone over the age of 30 cringes when they hear Jayz.
BS pandering
