Jay-Z was out in London for the Brits, and then went back to the Jonathan Ross show….

“(You’re good friends with President Obama…) Ehh, I dont want to overstate it….I know who he is. (Have you been to the white house?) No, I haven’t. Some kind of friend he is.” Lol. Jay also says that when Obama found out about his Democratic nomination, he was in the gym, playing the Blueprint album.

“(By rap standards you’re quite an old performer. You turned 40 recently. How do you keep yourself relevant…) We have to stretch the audience, it cant be a young man’s game. It’s a genre…”

“(What kind of celebration did you have for your 40th?) Oh, fantastic, I had a huge party in the Dominican Republic. We had this huge mansion with synchronized swimmers, the Olympic team. There was a casino outside, 2 dancefloors, fireworks at 12, champagne everywhere.”

“(did you feel the need to outparty Diddy? He had his 40th around the same time, didn’t he?) Puff throws the best parties ever, there’s no competing with him. But I got him this time. He was actually at my party, he practically emceed it, he was running around with a cordless mic, saying ‘take that, take that.‘”

Lol, and Jay talks about enjoying his wife’s stage show, and jokes that he started her “uh oh” dance, as well as the “single ladies” dance.
