"Jay-Z has responded to claims made about his recent trip to Cuba. The rapper and his wife Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 visited the country for their anniversary, despite a US travel embargo to the region being upheld since the 1960s.  The trip caused Republican lawmakers to hit out at the couple, claiming they did not have the correct licence to travel to Cuba. However, it has since been confirmed by the US Treasury that Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9&amp;#039;s holiday had been sanctioned, and was therefore legal.  Responding to politicians who called for an investigation, Jay-Z raps on &amp;#039;Open Letter&amp;#039;: &amp;quot;They wanna give me jail time and a fine. Fine, let me commit a real crime.&amp;quot; The track appeared earlier today (April 11) on Jay-Z&amp;#039;s blog Life + Times, which the rapper uses to make professional and personal statements. Clueless actress Stacey Dash also criticised Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 for their trip, suggesting that the couple would have helped &amp;quot;fund a communist regime&amp;quot; during their stay.
