This week, Jay Z became the first rapper ever to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Unfortunately he had to skip the awards (seeing as Beyoncé is probably going to give birth any day now!) but he was honored with a poignant video speech from President Obama.
Obama inducts JAY Z into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
To show his gratitude, Jay Z took to Twitter for the first time since March and just started listing his thanks:
