Jay-Z said lower unemployment among blacks doesn’t make up for the President’s attitude.
He said: “It’s not about money at the end of the day,” and it “doesn’t equate to happiness.”
The black unemployment rate of 6.8 per cent is the lowest on record and has reached levels not seen since the end of President Bill Clinton’s administration.
Mr Trump drew widespread condemnation for allegedly referring to African nations as “s***hole countries” while discussing immigration, according to those at the meeting.
The President has denied using that language, though others present say he did.
Mr Trump has since said he “deeply respects” the people of Africa in a letter to 55 African Union leaders.
The summit previously said it was “frankly alarmed” by the US President’s language.
