The two artists were key pop culture figures in President Barack Obama's run for a second term. Jay-Z performed on the Obama campaign trail, while Beyoncé sang at his second inauguration.

"For too long we were excluded from the American dream, and now we have a chance to be a part of that American dream," Jay-Z said on stage in 2012 during an Obama rally.
