Jay Z has a new documentary out about Kalief Browder so he refused to answer any questions about Donald Trump.
Billboard writes:
On Wednesday night (Jan. 25), Jay Z attended the Sundance Film Festival in Utah in support of his new docu-series, Spike TV’s TIME: The Kalief Browder Story. During his Q&A session with the media, he shunned a reporter who asked about President Donald Trump.
“Not gonna answer that,” said Jay Z when asked about his thoughts on the 45th POTUS. Quickly after he deflected the question, TIME executive producer, Harry Weinstein, intervened and ended the session.
Last November, Jay Z and his wife Beyonce publicly supported Hillary Clinton. In support of the Democratic nominee, he held a concert in Cleveland days before the election. The show featured performances from Jay Z, Beyonce, Big Sean, and Chance The Rapper. After the show, Trump blasted the Brooklyn rapper at a Pennsylvania rally for using profanity during his performance.
Jay Z is very smart. They only asked him that to make Trump the headline and not his actual project. Good for him.
Him and his wife know how to outsmart the media. I’m not a fan of either but I wish more artists played the game like they did. Do not allow the media to use you and make a fool out of you.
Wise decision.
This is what you’re supposed to do.
