Because of lackluster sales of his over-hyped, much-ballyhooed Tidal music service, rapper Jay-Z flew into a curious and rare public tirade about his struggles as a black man. During a recent concert performance, Beyonce’s husband even evoked the names of Freddie Gray and Trayvon Martin to express the grief he feels trying to build a business while trying to rip free from the grip of the white man’s oppression.
However, an image has been circulating online that has led some to wonder if Jay-Z is truly committed to hiring black people. The image features he and Beyonce taking a picture with a large staff that appears to be 100 percent white. Critics charge that Jay-Z’s recent on-stage rant about racism was a ploy to get the backing of the Black community for his Tidal streaming service without him taking measurable steps toward true diversity within his company.
Twitter users tore into Jay Z for his appearance of hypocrisy.
