Louis Farrakhan Wants Jay Z To Cover Beyonce Up

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has a history of both supporting and criticizing the Hip Hop world.

In an interview with Hip Hop Since 1987, the 82-year old minister offered some criticism while commenting on Jay Z's Made In America festival.

Apparently, Farrakhan thought Hov's wife and festival headliner Beyonce was showing too much skin when she performed.

"Jay Z is a good man," he said. "Jay Z is a good manager. But now your woman is on display. Do you want men looking at your woman? Being tempted by your woman? To make advances at your woman? Who wouldn’t want to be with Rihanna? Who wouldn’t want to be with Nicki Minaj? These are talented women, but you strip them. Then their bodies become the tool that is being used to promote the degradation of the woman. And the subjugation of a man…I would want to say to my brother Jay Z, as much as I love and admire him, 'I want to see my sister beautifully covered.'"
Beyonce actually changed her outfit eight times during her Made In America performance. So keeping her covered up throughout would have been even more of a challenge than usual.
