London, Feb 19 (ANI): American hip-hop artist Jay-Z has revealed that US President Barack Obama enjoys listening to expletive-laden songs while exercising in the gym.
In fact, Obama had his Blueprint 3 album playing during a recent telephonic conversation, Jay-Z said.
He said: “Barack loves hip hop, when I called him he was playing Blueprint in the gym.”
The Telegraph reported, it was during an interview for Jonathan Ross’s Friday night show on BBC One that Jay-Z made the claims, according to The Mirror.
He added: “I’ve been invited to the White House a couple of times.
“Hopefully we’ll keep him in for eight years so I’ll have time to get there.” (ANI)
