A lot of people have been wondering why Jay Z has been silent amid the murder of George Floyd but yesterday (May 31st), Minnesota Governor Tim Walz revealed in a press conference that he got a phone call from the hip-hop icon, who demanded justice for the death of George Floyd. Gov. Walz said, “I received a call last night – to understand how big this was – from Jay-Z. Not international performer but a dad stressing to me that justice needs to be served.”
Gov. Walz continued, saying that Jay Z also told him that he “feels the compassion and the humanity of these folks who are speaking. He knows the world is watching, and how Minnesota handles this is going to have an impact across the country.”
Gov. Walz added. “It’s a positive sign that someone of a stature, that has a presence like that is focused in the moment of what Minnesotans are focused on.”
