Jay-Z, ‘I got 99 problems but Mitt ain’t one’

Jay-Z debuted a special, edited version of his hit “99 Problems” during his set for President Barack Obama’s Columbus, Ohio, rally today.

The rapper, who has been prominently backing the president’s reelection campaign, belted: “If you’re having world problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but Mitt ain’t one.”

Dressed in his trademark black, he also performed “Run This Town,” “Public Service Announcement” and “On to the Next One.”

“Are we ready to move forward Ohio? Forward!” he yelled to energize the crowd in the heavily contested swing state.

According to MTV News, Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé raised $4 million in campaign funds for the Obama camp with an event at his NYC-based 40/40 Club.

“I support Barack because I gotta respect that sort of vision. I gotta respect a man who is the first black President ever,” he said. “To have that sort of vision and dream, I have to support that.”
