“To J and B, thank you so much for your friendship,” the president said.

The event raised $4 million for the president’s re-election campaign.

Beyonce snubs Kim at Jay-Z and Kanye West concert.

Beyonce and Kim Kardashian reportedly don`t share a warm relationship despite the great friendship between their partners — Jay-Z and Kanye West. Media reports are Beyonce and Kim aren’t close and don’t really communicate when they are watching their men perform. Kim and Beyonce were at the Made in America concert which was organised by Jay Z and headlined by their men Jay Z and Kanye.

Flying in: Kim and Kanye flew into the event by private helicopter

“Kim and Beyonce barely spoke to each other. They were on opposite sides of the stage. Beyonce didn`t even acknowledge (Kim) was there until the concert was almost over,”  “(Kim) didn`t make any efforts to go speak to Beyonce either,”. However, when they both went backstage into one of the dressing rooms, insiders say they spoke a little to each other but “uncomfortable” Kim spent the majority of her time with Kanye and her best friend Jonathan Cheban.

“Eventually, the women made small talk in the dressing room, but you could tell Kim was uncomfortable. She clung onto Kanye the entire time and didn`t say much. Kim was talking to Jonathan, and Kanye was talking to Jay-Z and Beyonce.”

Special gift: All performers received a bottle of Armand De Brignac in their dressing room with a hand written thank you note from Jay-Z

Kanye and Jay-Z were the star performers at the two-day event curated by multi-millionaire rapper Jay, which will see ticket sales benefit United Way chapters. Jay-Z organised the event, which also saw performances from the likes of Rita Ora, who is said to be dating Kim’s brother Rob.
Special guests during Jay’s set included: Kanye West , Pusha T, Common, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Freeway, Young Guns, Memphis Bleek, Swizz Beatz and a personal recorded message from President Obama himself.
In the recording, Obama says Jay-Z represents someone who ‘refused to quit’ and praised the ‘Made In America’ event.
He follows with ‘what’s possible when people from all walks of life go as far as their talents will take them.’
He finished by urging everyone to register and vote. Once the pre-recording finished, a happy Jay-Z responded ‘Shout out to the President…’
And all 35 performers received a bottle of Armand De Brignac in their dressing room with a hand written thank you note from Jay-Z saying ‘From Jay’.

Jay Z and Beyonce back stage

It seems that the pop star is deliberately keeping her distance after her fans criticised her for spending time with the reality star back in June.

Beyonce’s fans had earlier been outraged at what seemed to be a budding friendship with Kim, whose fame was sparked by her appearance in a sex tape. 

The two had stood together to watch their partners in concert, even dancing together at the front of the stage.  But their friendship has not developed.

Today is Beyonce’s birthday, will be interesting to see if she gets a gift from Kim.
