Jay-Z responds to fury over his and Beyoncé's anniversary trip to Cuba in new song

Jay-Z blasted back today at critics of his and wife's Beyoncé's recent trip to Cuba in a new song.

The scathing song, 'Open Letter' calls out the politicians who questioned the legality of the fifth anniversary vacation, which was approved by the Treasury Department, when the rapper says, 'Politicians never did s**t for me, except lie to me, distort history. They wanna give me jail time and a fine. Fine, let me commit a real crime.'

The song also includes lyrics boasting of his friendship with President Obama, adding: 'Obama said, 'Chill you're going to get me impeached.' You don't need this s**t anyway, chill with me on the beach.'

He also brags that he's a 'boy from the hood but got White House clearance.'

Obama's press secretary, Jay Caey, insisted that the White House had nothing to do with approving the trip.

'I guess nothing rhymes with Treasury,' he quipped. 'The president did not communicate with Jay-Z over this trip.'

Jay-Z continues to rap in the song that, 'I can tu Havana to Atlanta ... ballin’ too much they try to jam you.

'Y'all must wanna start a revolution. Whenever I'm threatened I start shooting,' he continues.

'I'm in Cuba I love Cubans. This communist talk is so confusing, when it's from China the very mic that I'm using.'

The track, which comes in under three minutes, was produced by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland.

Jay-Z also addresses his recent decision to sell his minority share of the Brooklyn Nets so that he can open up a sports management company.

'I woulda moved the Nets to Brooklyn for free / Except I made millions off you f***ing dweebs/ I still own the building / I'm still keeping my seats / You buy that bulls**t, you better keep your receipts.'

Jay-Z has signed Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano and New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz as his clients.

The trip to Cuba last week was fully licensed by the United States Treasury Department, according to a source familiar with the trip.

After the power couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Havana, Republican members of Congress asked for information on what type of license they obtained.

Their arrival drew in huge crowds of local fans as they strolled hand in hand through the city and posed for pictures with admiring Cubans.
