What’s wrong with this photo?
Jay-z held a huge press conference yesterday to announce that he would be headlining a 2-day Music Festival in Philly over the Labor Day Weekend. The conference was complete with bells and whistles, The Mayor of Philly, reps from huge sponsors like United Way and Budweiser and some how or another, even Jay’s long-time friend & Philly native Freeway, made his way on stage.
After the conference, photos of Freeway standing at the edge of the stage with his arms crossed as though he was sent to time-out, circulated the web which sparked rumors that he just showed up at the conference and pulled a Lil Mama on stage. Although that wasn’t the case, Beanie Sigel has taught us that you can’t put nothing past the folks of Shawn Carter’s past. According to Vibe, Jay personally invited Freeway to appear at the conference and Freeway was fully aware that he would not be taking press photos with Jay, the politicians and sponsors due to his past drug felony charge.
Despite the understanding that they may have had, it’s almost painful to watch video that surfaced from the conference. Just as Jay finished up his announcement, Free definitely was ready to take a photo or two and he was given that, ‘you’re not cool enough to sit at this table’ nudge by Jay-z before he wanders over to the side of the stage.
Take a look below:
Don’t feel sorry for Freeway. He was granted the opportunity to get a pic with Jay after all was said and done.
In other news, Jay says he will try to get President Obama on stage to sing some Al Green during his festival. Now that’s someone he wouldn’t mind sharing a stage with.
