Anyone still confused over the lyrics in Jay-Z's "Open Letter", even after White House press secretary Jay Carney's comments last week: President Obama has spoken. As the The Hollywood Reporter points out, in an interview with "Today", the President explained that the White House did not have anything to do with Jay-Z and Beyoncé's recent trip to Cuba.

"I wasn't familiar that they were taking the trip," he said, smiling. "My understanding is that they went through a group that organizes these educational trips down to Cuba. This is not something that the White House was involved with. We've got better things to do."

I've also got questions for the next person granted an interview with the President to ask him: Do you and Michelle really want to "chill on the beach" with Jay and Beyoncé? Who's the first of the four to start pressuring everyone to take tequila shots when you guys hang out?

It's also entirely possible that when Jay-Z said "Boy from the hood/ Got White House clearance," he wasn't talking about the Cuba trip at all, just making a vague boast about being friendly with the President. Anyway, watch the entire interview below, via the Hollywood Reporter:
