Bill Maher welcomed Jay Z to his ‘home’ last night, inviting the Rap icon for a conversation launched to endorse his newly released ‘Picasso Baby‘ video.
While on the controversial personality’s show, the Rapper took the time to address a number of issues- including comments Harry Belafonte made regarding he and Beyonce‘s work- or the alleged lack of it- employed to help African Americans in need.
Watch Jay address the actor’s criticism of he and his wife below…
Unfamiliar with Belafonte’s work?

Lol I thought they made valid points….He’s pretty funny Bill Maher I think I may watch his show…:)
Last year, Harry Belafonte, the acclaimed singer, actor and civil rights activist, was about modern celebrity and social responsibility. The always-outspoken Belafonte didn’t really hold back.
Q: Are you happy with the image of members of minorities in Hollywood today?
A: Not at all. They have not told the history of our people, nothing of who we are. We are still looking. … And I think one of the great abuses of this modern time is that we should have had such high-profile artists, powerful celebrities. But they have turned their back on social responsibility. That goes for Jay-Z and Beyonce, for example. Give me Bruce Springsteen, and now you’re talking. I really think he is black.
Jay Z replied:
I’m offended by that because first of all, and this is going to sound arrogant, but my presence is charity. Just who I am. Just like Obama’s is. Obama provides hope. Whether he does anything, the hope that he provides for a nation, and outside of America is enough. Just being who he is. You’re the first black president. If he speaks on any issue or anything he should be left alone. … I felt Belafonte … just went about it wrong. Like the way he did it in the media, and then he bigged up Bruce Springsteen or somebody. And it was like, ‘whoa,’ you just sent the wrong message all the way around. … Bruce Springsteen is a great guy. You’re this civil rights activist and you just bigged up the white guy against me in the white media. And I’m not saying that in a racial way. I’m just saying what it is. The fact of what it was. And that was just the wrong way to go about it.
I saw this last night……Jayz made a valid point.
Nice to see a rapper with on a talk show where intelligent discourse takes place. Respect to Jay Z.
I don’t Have That Much time to waste , Where are the Highlights ?
I Know Jay-z Is Slick in Interviews tho, so….
Beyonce look uncomfortable in this Pic, I can feel it, Like she can’t fool me with cheesing to cameras and s***, she Was in pain in this dress and i can feel it.
Welp.. I might have said she looks good in that pic, but that doesn’t mean her dress isn’t ugly as f*** …
Bey’s fashion sense is getting worse day after day … You saw her GREEN dress she wore for the Boston show?
😯
As I said before, she really needs Solange and Rihanna for this ASAP!
Gayz is an arrogant piece of $hit. He needs to get over himself.
What strange awkward pose…why are they so far from one another? Must be painful to stretch your arms like that.
Jay Z had a point. He is a wise guy love his interveiws.
Damn, that n***** Jayz has an ugly mouth area,yuck! Beyonce must have low self esteem to marry this ugly m***** and have his ugly babies.
I love Jay Z interviews he is so insightful and funny too.
I watched this interview and people take what Jay Z says too literally he is man of double entendres and many meanings which I like. Interpret it in your own way.
