Nigerian Born, Wale Became The First Rapper To Open A State Of The Union Address

                

Today, at the historical State of the Union Address held at the White House, rapper Wale (full name Olubowale Victor Akintimehin) took the stage to open the event with a rendition so perfect it is fit for history books. Plus, this is the first time in the history of the United States of America that a rapper, a black artiste, will take the opening performance of the country’s most-anticipated event. Wale blew the crowd as he sang from his hit songs such as “Chillin’” and “LoveHate Thing,”. He set the pace for President Barrack Obama.

Here are the tweets from the event..
