Jay Z, hip-hop mogul, has advised Americans against electing Republican party candidate, Donald Trump, when they cast their votes in the U.S. presidential election on Tuesday, November 8.
The rapper and wife, Beyonce Knowles, singer and actress, on Friday night, campaigned for the Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.
Jay Z and Beyonce passionately urged voters to ensure that Clinton was elected president during a campaign concert in Cleveland.
“His (Trump’s) conversation is divisive to me; he cannot be my president,” Jay Z said while explaining why Trump is unfit to lead America.
Beyonce, who performed after Jay Z rounded up his set, stepped out wearing an ‘I’m With Her’ shirt.
“There was a time when a woman’s opinion did not matter. Less than 100 years ago women did not have the right to vote, look how far we’ve come to having voice to being on the brink of history by electing the first woman president.
“But we have to vote. The world looks to us as a progressive country that needs change, I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country and know that her possibilities are limitless,” Beyonce told the thousand-fold crowd.
As the election day draws nearer, many music superstars are using their celebrity power to steer voters towards Clinton’s direction.
Some of those championing her cause include Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, The National and John Legend.
