Jay Z To Perform Hillary Clinton Support Concert In Ohio
By Noah Yoo.
Jay Z will perform a Get Out the Vote concert in Cleveland in support of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Buzzfeed reports. While the location and exact date of the concert have not yet been revealed, a Clinton aide has confirmed to CNN that the Jay Z-headlining concert will take place. The rapper previously performed at a rally in Columbus, Ohio with Bruce Springsteen in 2012, in support of President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign. Former president Bill Clinton was in attendance at Jay’s Made in America music festival in Philadelphia earlier this year. It’s a shift for Jay—in the past, he referenced Clinton on his Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter song “NYMP,” saying “I take and rape villages, who gon' stop him?/Not Rudy Guiliani, not Hillary Rodham.”
Earlier this month, it was announced that the National would perform a Love Trumps Hate concert in their hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio.
