JAY-Z Applauds Jordan Peele’s “Us” For No. 1 Box Office Debut

    JAY-Z doesn’t get on social media often. It takes a special occasion to lure him back on Twitter or any other social media platform. Evidently, the success of Jordan Peele’s latest film, Us, was enough to get Hov using his Twitter fingers.

    On Sunday (March 24), the Roc Nation mogul headed to the label’s official account and shared a photo of himself and Peele, who’s holding his Oscar for Get Out. 

    “For US by US,” he wrote in the caption. “Congrats on the #1 movie in the world. – Hov.”

    In a recent interview with MTV News, Peele mentioned Hov had given some sage advice after Peele appeared concerned he wouldn’t top the success of Get Out, telling him, “It doesn’t matter. You already did that.”

    Us debuted in theaters on Friday (March 22). Peele’s sophomore effort has already surpassed Get Out‘s opening weekend at the box office, raking in over $70 million. Get Out opened with $33 million in 2017.

    The film’s debut marks the largest domestic opening weekend ever for an original horror film.

    1. you have nothing to do with the movie, stop attaching yourself to somebody else success, us? where?

      1. Acronym FUBU, “For Us By Us”. Black people and black companies have used the term for years to represent serving their own. It doesn’t mean I am taking credit for your success, I’m just simply acknowledging your work black brother/sister. Spread Love man!

        1. so when a dumb ni66let get into some stupid shit are you gonna be in there to get credit for it too? or maybe you just appear when somebody is actually working and winning?

    2. I love Lupita Nyongo, billion dollar box office with Black Panther and now another success. Hollywood is extremely racist with its pay of black actors but I hope she starts getting paid what’s she’s worth in comparison to some white actors who haven’t had the same box office success

    3. Peele is Half black and married to a white woman. He does the black shtick to sell more tickets.

    4. He’s looking like a ugly old washed up crack head. His time is over. All hail King Nas!!! He will be the King of New York & Hip Hop forever !!!

    5. Ok next time a “white” film drops by a white director and white central characters , is a washed up Eminem going to be dropping “for us by us” shit. It’s a fucking movie that’s for anyone , is it exclusively a film for black people because a stupid washed up clownish looking James z says so . I say James rather than jay because he’s the whitest black rapper there is , he’s apart of the white establishment and doesn’t give a fuck about this film I doubt he’s even seen it. I have by the way and it’s okish , no better or worse than Get Out. Just average modern horror movies with cheap frights.
