Jay-Z was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last month. Former President of the United States Barack Obama acknowledged the honor and sent Jigga a personal message.
“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,” Obama said in a taped video message.
“Today, Jay-Z is one of the most renowned artists in history and an embodiment of the American dream, a dream he has helped make real for other young people like him.”
The 2022 Grammys will take place on Jan. 31, 2022.
