People Are Pissed At Jay-Z And Beyonce For Going To Cuba

Jay-Z and Beyoncé spent last week in Cuba, celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary with some family members and close friends, and because they’re Jay-Z and Beyoncé people went absolutely apeshit wherever they went. And now, because Cuba is a place governed by a horrible old piece of shit, American politicians and anti-Castro Cubans in South Florida are calling for music’s royal couple to be torn to pieces by starved lions.

Florida Republicans Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart (whose aunt was Fidel Castro’s first wife) wrote a letter to the Treasury Department asking why the hell two American celebrities were allowed to spend their American money in Cuba while that embargo deal is still alive and well.

The letter points out that “tourist activities” are covered by the ban and complains that the trip was used by the Castro regime for propaganda purposes.

“The restrictions on tourism travel are common-sense measures meant to prevent US dollars from supporting a murderous regime that opposes US security interests at every turn and which ruthlessly suppresses the most basic liberties of speech, assembly and belief,” the politicians write.

This is going to be really interesting, because South Florida’s Cuban community doesn’t take this kind of stuff lightly at all, and some of those people will devote the rest of their lives to reminding us on a daily basis that Jay-Z and Beyoncé are assholes. On the other hand, Jay-Z and Beyoncé have more money than God, so they’ll probably throw a free concert in Miami and have the Illuminati use their Men in Black mind eraser on everyone.
