Wale is here to make sure Tomi Lahren’s nonsense doesn’t pass him by without getting called out for what it is.
Apparently, Lahren woke up on Sunday and decided it was time to come for JAY-Z over his comments in an interview with Van Jones, in which he referred to President Donald Trump as a “superbug.”
“As opposed to you who raps about bitches and sisters and brags about selling crack. Yeah…Trump is the problem…sure,” Lahren tweeted.

But as Complex noted, Wale, who refuses to call Lahren by her actual name, got on Twitter to call out this ridiculousness. “Tammy he isn’t the president,” he said. “Also weren’t you just “rapping” 21 Savage???.. go and sit down my friend.”
Wale hasn’t called Lahren “Tomi” ever since he name-dropped her in his song “Smile.” She called him out for getting her name wrong, and he hilariously responded, “Ok Tammy.”
JAY-Z on the “shithole countries” debacle
On Saturday on CNN’s The Van Jones show, JAY-Z said he wasn’t pleased with the comments Trump made about “sh**hole countries.” He said that he found those comments “hurtful” and that they show a person who is “looking down on a whole population.”
Jay-Z went on to say that instead of the country addressing the problem head-on, and in an honest way, the response has been to “spray perfume on a trash can.”
According to the award-winning rapper, by not dealing with the problem of Trump’s racism, it has been growing and getting worse and now we have the equivalent of a “superbug” to handle.

Trump bashes Jay-Z
Trump did not wait long to fire back.
On Twitter, the President’s favorite way of reaching the masses, he posted, “Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!”
Trump continues to try to take credit for the declining Black unemployment rate that gained traction and declined significantly under President Obama. Experts have noted that the decline under the Trump administration has been significantly lower.

Van Jones appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources on Sunday, shortly after the tweet, to tell Brian Stelter that Trump could learn a thing or two from JAY-Z’s interview. Namely, Trump could learn to be a little more open and willing to grow, even on a public stage.
“So if you wanted to listen to what Jay-Z says, follow Jay-Z’s model, Mr. President,” Jones said. “He’s a strong guy. He’s a rich guy, but he’s willing to be confessional. He’s willing to grow in public. If you do the same thing, America would be a lot better off.”
Jones also noted that Trump must not have been paying attention to the interview, because they did, in fact, discuss the economy and the unemployment rate. It’s just that Trump probably didn’t like the discussion, because JAY-Z noted that racism was still hurting Black people despite the gains in the economy.
