DJ Khaled On Obama’s Intro

Wednesday, May 01 2013 6:24 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

During last night’s Gig-It launch party at New York’s Capitale, MTV caught up with Khaled, who spoke on our president walking out to his hit record, “All I Do Is Win”.  Looking forward to that skit.

“‘All I Do Is Win’ is one of the biggest anthems of all time, I think, and it’s a timeless record. It represents winners, and Obama’s a winner, I’m a winner, you’re a winner. And it represents the people, and it’s love and excitement, so shout-out to Obama. I gotta utilize that with We the Best brand is just getting bigger. I got some things up my sleeve, so be ready for my new album.”

After the jump, Miss Info.TV recaps the evening’s performances from Nas, 2 Chainz, Busta, DJ Khaled, Fabolous, French Montana, Miguel and more.

President Obama held his annual White House Correspondents Dinner last night in our nation’s capital. After being introduced by “Hail To The Chief”, he dropped the beat and played, “All I Do Is Win”.  Funny stuff. Later on (4:12 mark), he cracked a joke about Jay-Z’s trip to Cuba.

Barack Obama On The Carters’ Cuba Trip

Wednesday, April 17 2013 2:10 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Our president appeared on Today this morning. When asked about Jay and Bey’s trip to Cuba, he reiterates that the Carter’s followed the proper protocol.

“I wasn’t familiar that they were taking the trip. My understanding is, I think they went through a group that organizes these educational trips down to Cuba. This is not something the White House was involved with. We’ve got better things to do.”

Lesson learned. People can’t take lyrics or clever wordplay literally. Sheesh. Besides, this isn’t the first time Hov’s had White House clearance.
