Jay-Z has shown his political ambition by claiming he will replaced Barack Obama as president of the US by 2018.
The rapper, who was a vocal supporter of Obama during his election campaign, told BBC Newsbeat that he would love to have a go at running the country.
Discussing Obama’s time in power, he said: ‘In order to judge someone, you have to judge what they inherit. He [Obama] inherited the worst economy, war, just a horrible time in American history.’
‘Give me a chance. Maybe in eight years, I’ll be the president,’ he added.
