President Barack Obama invited Nicki Minaj, J. Cole, DJ Khaled, Alicia Keys, Rick Ross and Pusha T among other Hip Hop notables to the White House to discuss the "My Brother's Keeper" initiative and criminal justice reform on Friday (April 15).
The meeting wasn't publicly announced however, it was confirmed by the Associated Press.
DJ Khaled captured the meeting on Snapchat and shared one of his moments with J. Cole on Instagram captioning, "Today I met @barackobama. Had the biggest cloth talk you could imagine."
"I can’t even explain to ya’ll what just happened," Ludacris says on Khaled's Snapchat story. "History has been made."
“Met with President Obama today to discuss a few things that happen to be very dear to my [heart emoji]," Nicki captioned on an Instagram post of her autographed photo of President Obama. "I am #MyBrothersKeeper."
The president employed the "My Brother's Keeper" initiative in February 2014 to help keep young males out of the criminal justice system and improve their access to higher education while addressing the challenges faced by minority men.
President Obama discussed "My Brother's Keeper" with Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar last year in a "Pay It Forward" campaign focused on mentorship.
DJ Khaled's Snapchat story and Instagram post of the "My Brother's Keeper" meeting is as follows.

I just find it hilarious that Aubrey wasn't invited

The hypocrisy kills me sometimes. Most if not all of these artists promote drug use, drug sales, gun violence, murder, etc. Hopefully Obama was trying to get them to change it up, but that ain't what sells so they ain't changing ? .

Sometimes you need those people from that environment perspective. What did you want, a bunch of old white men who didn't come from poverty and crime?
Plus it looks like a balance of rappers. Cole, Kweli,etc don't rap about drugs and both or dudes are college graduates. -
Hip hop has this stupid ass element of authenticity to uphold
Rap ? promote drug use just as much as the movie Blow
But which 1 gets the blame when TayGettem gets locked up for tryna make them falcons fly south for the winter? -
Don't none of these ? even live in the black community

Black excellence

Yeah that's the first thing I thought about when I seen the thread. If they can nitpick and find something wrong with common I'm sure they will destroy Nicki Minaj
