President Obama has never been shy about his love for hip hop music. POTUS hosted BET’s “Love And Happiness” at the White House last weekend and a ton of celebrities were in attendance including Usher, Questlove, Common, Jill Scott, Samuel L. Jackson, Jesse Williams, Angela Bassett, Janelle Monáe and more.
There was a strict no phone policy at the event but Usher manages to capture the president rocking out to Drake‘s “Hotline Bling.”
