President Obama Roasts Donald Trump And Mentions Tupac And Biggie

Rap Daily: President Barack Obama got revenge on mogul Donald Trump last night at the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton.

Over 2,500 politicians, journalists and celebrities, including Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons and will.I.am, attended the annual dinner, which honors excellence in journalism.

President Obama and Saturday Night Live comedian Seth Meyers centered the majority of their jokes on Donald Trump, who had been questioning if the President was born in Hawaii.

President Obama began his speech by immediately addressing the "birthers" who claimed he wasn't born in Hawaii.

He then set his sites on Donald Trump, who was booed as he arrived at the dinner.

"Donald Trump is here. I know he's taken some flack recently, but no one is more ready to put the birther issue to rest than the Donald," President Obama said. "So he can focus real issues at hand facing America, like ‘Did we really land on the moon?’ ‘What really happened in Roswell?’ And, ‘Where are Biggie and Tupac?’”

The rap name checking didn't stop there. President Obama also made fun of Donald Trump's aspirations to run for the oval office.

"We all know about your credentials, and your breadth of experience," President Obama said. "For example, on a recent episode of Celebrity Apprentice, at the steakhouse, the men’s cooking team did not impress the men from Omaha Steaks. There was lots of blame to go around, but you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. Ultimately, you didn’t blame [rapper] Lil Jon or [singer] Meatloaf, you fired Gary Busey. These are the kinds of decisions that keep me up at night. Well handled, sir! Well handled."

Donald Trump claimed he didn't think President Obama would address him during the White House Correspondence Dinner and called the ribbing "inappropriate."

"I had no idea it would be to that extent, where you know, it was just joke after joke after joke," Donald Trump said on Fox and Friends earlier this morning (May 1st). "It was almost like, is there anyone else they could talk about?"

Nick Cannon To Take Shots At Eminem On Upcoming Comedy Special

Rap Daily:  In one that can be filed as "Hip Hop Beefs That Just Won't Die," Mr. Carey says he's got a few more barbs to toss Em's way.

Nick Cannon is still fighting the good fight—apparently—and is still looking to defend his wife’s honor.

Cannon, who is married to Mariah Carey, revealed that he will discuss his beef with Eminem during his upcoming Showtime comedy special. “I say how I feel about it. I mean it’s definitely an interesting take— I’m not trying to stir up old news. That’s the thing that my stand-up special is actually about. It’s everybody getting to hear what I have to say first-hand instead of [hearing it] through interviews and hearsay.”

“You get to see how I feel about it,” he continued. “And I think that’s why a lot of people are gonna be intrigued to watch. I talk about everything from Eminem, to my marriage, to how I feel about other celebrities and all that stuff. So, it’s an interesting take. People have been buzzing about it. I’ve been on the road with it for the last year, and everywhere I go it’s a standing ovation. So, I think it should be well-received.”

Cannon also had some tough talk for Shady. “I mean, if I see dude, and it ain’t 10,000 body guards around, I feel like we need to have a real man-to-man. And if he’s a froggish type of dude then we both can leap. But I doubt that’s ever gon’ happen because he don’t move like that. It’s one of those things where it’s definitely entertainment, I get that, but then there’s a line you cross where you start to disrespect a man’s family in different situations.”
