In the latest issue of Cigar Aficionado featuring Jay-Z on the cover – the rapper defends Michael Phelps’ recent smoking scandal.  He says:

“You look at all these people who graduated from Princeton and Harvard, who are supposed to be pillars of the community — every day [they’re] in the newspaper arrested for some kind of financial fraud,” the Grammy winner told Cigar Aficionado magazine for his first-ever cover appearance. “Then you look at someone like Michael Phelps. He’s 23. What’s he gonna do? He’s a kid. He’s going to.

@Chocolate what hater are you?

People love jay-z otherwise his concert wouldnt be sold-out in 30 seconds!

I agree with Jay. He’s still very young, so we should not hate at such talented guy like Micheal, just because he made a mistake.

lol @chocolate I DO CARE ABOUT HIM! HA!

I agree with Chocolate. We only liked Jay for his good music. Outside of that no one really cares about his thoughts.

Even though I agree with what he said, who really looks to Jay-Z for social or political commentary? Has it gotten that bad in the black community. Does the lack of credible leadership really have folks hanging on to the words of Jay-Z? LOL

@ No Really, the magazine probably asked him about it. Everyone has an opinion and he’s no different. I’m sure next time Cigar Aficionado will be smarter to ask you about political and social issues. LOL

@ ok, you obviously weren’t able to comprehend my comment. I wasn’t talking about the magazine, I was talking about the people on this site who’ve commented on the article and seem to hold the words of Jay-Z in such high esteem. Next time it would be smarter of YOU to fully grasp what’s being said before responding. LOL
