George Bush Jr. may have gotten Kanye West to say sorry, but if the former president of the United Stated is looking for the former president of Def Jam to throw him a pity party, he might not want to hold his breath.
In a recent interview with the Associated Press regarding his book Decoded, Jay-Z made it clear that he totally agrees with Kanye’s original sentiment that, ‘George Bush doesn’t care about black people’, saying,
“I 100 percent agreed with the comments that he made, because again … it felt like it was being done to Black people,” Jay-Z tells the AP. “Like all you saw on the news was Black people with help signs and all this stuff, and then you have this picture of the commander in chief, who we all rely on, just flying by.”
