Move over, Oprah. Kendrick Lamar just nominated Jay-Z for president.
Hours after President Trump directed a disparaging tweet at Jay-Z, Lamar cast an unofficial vote for his fellow rap-album nominee.
"Jay for president!" he said as a coda to his acceptance speech. But not before giving shout-outs to hip-hop and his idols in the room.
"I got a lot of guys in this building that I idolize to this day: Jay-Z, Nas, Puff," Lamar said. "These guys showed me the game through their lyrics from close and from afar."
