Jay-Z recently revealed that United States President Barack Obama has officially co-signed his latest album, The Blueprint III.

According to Hov, the president works out to his music.

Rapper Jay-Z said President Barack Obama was among his biggest fans and that he frequently played the artist’s explicit tunes while exercising, it was reported Friday. The 10-time Grammy award winner said in an interview with U.K. broadcaster the BBC that the President enjoyed working up a sweat to the sounds of Jay-Z’s latest album, Blueprint 3. “Barack loves hip hop. When I called him he was playing Blueprint in the gym,” the star said.

Jay wants the president to run for another term in 2012.

He said to Jonathan Ross’s Friday night TV show: ‘I’ve been invited to the White House a couple of times. Hopefully we’ll keep him in for eight years so I’ll have time to get there.’ The rapper recently picked up the BRIT Award for Best International Male at the UK awards ceremony.
