Kendrick Lamar has been ruling the Grammys, snatching this year's Best Rap Album award. Also included in the category was Jay-Z's 4:44, which may have led Lamar to pay homage to Jay in an interesting way.
As Lamar leaves the stage after giving his speech, he can be heard shouting "Jay for president," and best believe, we all heard.

This comes after President Donald Trump called out Jay-Z Sunday morning for criticizing him and responding to his "s***hole countries" comment.

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 had time to call out Jay-Z, but failed to call out Eminem who also criticized him with an entire freestyle. Interesting.
While probably none of us want a celebrity as a president again, it goes without saying that we'll take Oprah, Jay or even Kanye over the 45th.
