Jay-Z & Beyonce Blasted For Anniversary Trip To Cuba
The below individual is one of many that has recently questioned the Carters’ trip, but it’s probably the best one as far as getting the gist of the opposition. From TMZ:
Mauricio Claver-Carone, the D.C. director for the US-Cuba Democracy PAC — a group committed to fighting for democracy in Cuba — tells TMZ the A-listers should’ve educated themselves about what’s really going on there before taking photo ops.
Jay and Bey were photographed Thursday in Havana — reportedly to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary — but have since come under fire from some Cuban-American groups.
US citizens are still technically banned from traveling to the island purely for tourism … and are supposed to obtain a travel license from the US government.
Mauricio says he’s disappointed the superstars chose to vacay in Cuba because, “There are women getting beaten on a daily basis, women who are being jailed for no reason … people are fighting for their freedom. It’s extremely insensitive.”
Let it be known that they’ve also received support for their trip as well.

HILARIOUS: Ray J’s Artwork, Lyrics For Upcoming ‘Hit It First’ Single Are Directed Toward Kim Kardashian
Ray J just doesn’t stop outdoing his own craziness, does he? The West Coast jester has revealed the artwork for his upcoming single, titled ‘Hit It First’, which features Bobby Brackins and is produced by Nic Nac.
The humor is in where the artwork, a scrambled version of another image, comes from:
That’s not where it ends, either: if the below lyrics are any indication, he’s also got a whole lot to say about the matter:
She might move on to rappers and ballplayers
But we all know I hit it first.I had her head going North and her ass going South
But now baby chose to go WestNo matter where she goes or who she knows
She still belongs in my bed.
