Jay Z And Beyonce Raise $4million For Obama Re-Election

Jay-Z and Beyonce hosted a successful fundraiser for President Obama’s re-election campaign at the 40/40 club in New York City on Tuesday night. I guess Ghanaians can come to terms with celebrities supporting and endorsing politicians ahead of the December general election without it affecting their profession

 

. Beyonce has even dedicated a page on her officialwebsitr to support Obama’s re-election campaign.

Obama attended the $40,000-a-head 40/40 Club fundraiser hosted by power couple Jay-Z & Beyoncé which raised $4 million for the Obama re-election cause. While introducing Obama to the 100 or so guests at the party, Beyoncé said, “I can’t tell you how proud we are to host tonight’s event with President Obama … we believe in his vision.”

President Obama had some highwords of praise for his hosts at the party, as well, joking that he’s actually got a lot in common with rap superstar, and new dad, Jay. “Jay-Z now knows, you know, what my life is like,” he said. “We both have daughters. And our wives are more popular than we are … So we’ve got a little bond there. It’s hard, but it’s OK.”
