In a recent interview with BBC Radio 1's Clara Amfo, Jay-Z has broken his silence on his thoughts about Donald Trump. When Clara asked what his feelings on the current state of the country are, Hov had this to say:
"I believe that everything that happens in life is for your greatest good, and I don’t think that this is happening if we weren’t prepared to handle it," he said. "I’m just looking forward to what’s next after that, because usually when things are darkest, then light is on its way. I’m not fearful."
Without referring to Donald Trump by name, Jay-Z had this to say about the current President,
"I believe that we are resilient, especially us as black people and especially the culture. We’ve been through so much more than this guy.This guy, I’m looking at him like, man, this is a joke, with all—I can’t even say with all due respect—with all disrespect. I just think he’s not a very sophisticated man, especially when it comes to the idea of until everyone is free, no one is free. Period. That’s just a fact. We are all linked some kind of way. So if you oppress a certain people, everyone is in danger, karmically and in real life. If I’m being oppressed and you have this big, nice mansion, I’m coming inside there. That’s gonna happen, that’s just how life is. So just on a practical level, that just makes sense. On a spiritual and karmic level, if we’re all children of God, then we’re all brothers and sisters, and at some point, if you’re doing that to your brother, then that can’t last."
At the end of the interview, Hov gave some more thoughts about politics and admitted that he's not "[politically] astute", but recognizes the same injustices that others see within the American systems.
