JAY-Z’s on an award tour.
After receiving GLAAD‘s Vanguard Award along with Beyonce last week, JAY-Z accepted the Presidential Award during last night’s NAACP Awards.
Taken place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, NAACP president Derrick Johnson presented the award to Shawn Carter.
JAY opened up his speech with a quote from Abraham Lincoln. He dedicated the award to his grandmother Hattie White and shared a recent conversation he had with her on making it through the week with $20.
Hov also praised his mother Gloria Carter and his wife Beyonce who was in attendance. God bless that white suit.
I’m glad I don’t know anything about struggling I came from a middle class family.
