Last night was one for the books, at least for Killer Mike. The Run The Jewels emcee had the grand opportunity to attend The White House Correspondent’s Dinner along with the best of the best in journalism. Several big celebrities were in attendance like the quirky host Cecily Strong of Saturday Night Live and the “Angry Translator” Key from Comedy Central’s Key & Peele. Mike spent the night documenting his every move for his followers on the ‘gram. Check out how he spent his night after the jump!
Run The Jewels took over the White House last night (Apr 25). Instead of his partner-in-crime El-P wreaking havoc, Killer Mike spent his night with Ariana Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post, on his arm while representing the online publication. While was longing for his would-be date Shay, Mike said Huffington did a stellar job at holding him down for the elegant affair.
According to Mike, the POTUS killed his speech with jokes like Richard Pryor. He claimed that he shouted out CNN’s Brooke Baldwin but apparently “threw some shade tho.” It seems like attending the event was one of the items on his bucket list — or should I say his #FuckItList. But one of the better memories from the night in the White House was his hilariously incredible selfie with Arianna Huffington throwing up the Run The Jewels hand sign.
The following day, Mike spoke on race relations during a lecture for the students at MIT. His lecture comes just weeks after several appearances on news outlets, his articles published on the subject hit the Net, and the release of his racially-charged music video for “Close Your Eyes And Count To ….” Check out Killer Mike’s entertaining night at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner in the gallery!
