Jay-Z is no stranger to conservative ire. In 2009, the rapper released his Blueprint 3 album in which he went after conservative agitators Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh for their outright disrespect of the president and hip-hop music in general.

"This ain't black versus white, my nigga, we off that. Please tell Bill O'Reilly to fall back. Tell Rush Limbaugh to get off my balls. It's 2010 not 1864. Ah yeh we come so far ... Ah, how's that for a mix? Got a black president, got green presidents." - Jay-Z single Off That (featuring Drake and Timbaland).

Jay-Z, a long-time Obama supporter, told Rolling Stone back in May that he was planning to give Obama a call and ask him to perform at the concert, saying he hoped he could convince him to repeat his rendition of Al Green.

"He'll be so far into helping the world that he probably won't have time, but I'm absolutely going to ask him," Jay-Z said at the time.
