 Jay-Z speaks onstage during a pre-Grammy gala in his honor on Jan. 27. During a CNN interview on Saturday night, he referred to President Donald Trump as a "super bug." | Mike Coppola/Getty Images Trump taunts Jay-Z about black unemployment 
 
 President Donald Trump mused about hip-hop icon Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter on Sunday morning, asking whether someone would inform him about the black unemployment rate. 
 
 "Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!" the president wrote on Twitter.

 Jay-Z was interviewed on the debut episode of "The Van Jones Show" on CNN on Saturday night. Jones asked the rapper and business mogul whether Trump's demeanor and actions, including Trump's reported use of the word "shithole" in reference to African and other countries, were important given the state of the economy. 
 
 It's "not about money at the end of the day," Jay-Z told Jones. "Money is not — money doesn't equate to happiness. It doesn't. That's missing the whole point. You treat people like human beings, then — that's the main point." 
 
 The president is correct in saying that black unemployment is at a record low. However, the decline began under former President Barack Obama, and the rate continues to be higher than overall employment, a disparity that has endured for decades. 
 
 When asked about the reported "shithole" comment, which came in the context of a discussion of U.S immigration policy, Jay-Z said it was "really hurtful."

 "Everyone feels anger. After the anger, it's really hurtful because he's like looking down on a whole population of people," Jay-Z said. "You are so misinformed because these places have beautiful people and beautiful everything." 
 
 Comparing Trump's reported remarks to former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's private, racist comments in 2013, Jay-Z said, "That's just how people talk behind close doors." In a leaked tape published by TMZ.com, Sterling criticized his mistress for being out in public with black people, telling her "not to bring them to my games." 
 
 The NBA stripped Sterling of his ownership and banned him from the league. Despite the harsh penalties, Jay-Z said Sterling's punishment avoided tough conversations, which in his eyes, can lead to someone like Trump. 
 
 "You have sprayed perfume on the trash can. What you do, when you do that is the bugs come and you spray something, and you create a superbug because you don't take care of the problem," he said. "You don't take the trash out, you keep spraying whatever over it to make it acceptable. As those things grow, you create a superbug." 
 
 That superbug, Jay-Z said, now resides in the Oval Office. 
 
 "And then now we have Donald Trump, the superbug."
– The subject in President Trump's Sunday morning Twitter crosshairs is somewhat less than likely: Jay-Z, reports Politico. He tweeted: "Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!" The back-and-forth started Saturday night, when the rapper appeared on Van Jones' CNN show and was asked about Trump's reported "shithole" comments about African nations. "Everyone feels anger," he responded. "After the anger, it's really hurtful because he's like looking down on a whole population of people. You are so misinformed because these places have beautiful people and beautiful everything." Even given the booming economy, he said, "Money doesn't equate to happiness. It doesn't. That's missing the whole point. You treat people like human beings." Jay-Z didn't stop there, saying that years of failure to deal with racist rhetoric has "sprayed perfume on the trash can. What you do, when you do that is the bugs come and you spray something, and you create a superbug because you don't take care of the problem. ... As those things grow, you create a superbug. And then now we have Donald Trump, the superbug."
