Before the footage was screened, a video of former president Barack Obama talking about Jay-Z was shown. Where the president jokes ‘both have wives that are significantly more popular than we are.’ he added ‘I’ve turned to Jay-Z’s words at different points in my life, whether I was brushing dirt off my shoulder on the campaign trail or sampling his lyrics on the Edmund Pettus Bridge on the 50th anniversary of the Selma march to Montgomery.’
