Jay-Z sings for free in support of Obama
Jay-Z has taken his fervent support for Barack Obama to another level. He is reportedly appearing for free at concerts produced by himself that target all people who register to vote
The free show circuit hit Miami on Sunday and together with Wyclef Jean, Jay-Z performed in a concert titled, 'Last Chance For Change." More than 18,000 patrons attended.
The show was very successful and the Jigga, who was honoured last week by the United Nations and given a Global Leadership Award, announced plans to throw an impromptu bonus concert at the Bayford Park venue this week.
At the UN Awards Gala in New York last Wednesday, Jay-Z gave a moving speech as he was awarded for his efforts in helping African youth acquire clean water. Again he spoke up for issues he was passionate about, bringing the reality of an African water crisis to MTV with his special called, "The Diary of Jay-Z Water for Life."
