“It is disappointing and it’s hurtful. It really is hurtful,” Jay-Z said. “Everyone feels anger but after the anger, it’s really hurtful.”

The rapper said the comments were especially disappointing coming from the nation’s leader.

“Because it’s looking down at a whole population of people and it’s so misinformed because these places have beautiful people and beautiful everything. This is the leader of the free world speaking like this,” he added.
