    Jay-Z finally took up his invitation to the White House, and brought along his tourmate Trey Songz.

    While in town for the latest stop on his "BP3" tour at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday (March 3), the hip-hop superstar stopped by the Oval Office for a quick, unscheduled visit with President Obama, according to a White House official.

    Jay-Z shared the news with fans during his show, while wishing a White House staffer's child happy birthday, reports The Washington Post. "I don't know where you are, but happy birthday. I just came from the White House. And your pop works there. He said, 'Happy Birthday,'" he announced.

    Hov has been invited to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the past, but his busy schedule didn't allow him to make the visit until now. "I've been invited a couple times, I've just been on the road with this new album," he told Jonathan Ross last month. The President of the United States has said that he is a fan of Jay-Z, who supported his bid for presidency.

    Trey Songz also met the Commander-in-Chief and couldn't wait to tell his fans. "Had the honor of meeting Barack Obama today – Surreal – GOD bless The President and his family," he tweeted. "He told me 'Congratulations on all your success, I'm proud of you.'" [Post via Rap-Up.com]

  • Trey Songz is a busy man. At 26, he just began the nationwide BP3 Tour 2010 opening for Jay-Z, his third album "Ready" was just certified Gold exceeding sales of 500,000, and he just participated in the remake of the classic "We Are The World" benefiting Haitian earthquake relief. During a break on his touring schedule in Dallas, Songz chatted with ESSENCE.com about the messages in his music, what it's like to work with superstars like Jay, Stevie Wonder and Barbra Streisand, and why he's excited about performing at the ESSENCE Music Festival.

    ESSENCE.com: Congratulations on going Gold, how do you feel about that?
    SONGZ: I am proud. It's an achievement to say the least. It's my third album and it's the first one to go Gold. But I don't want to be stuck in that moment, I want to make sure that I strive to do whatever is next. I am excited that the album is doing very well, you know, but I'm chasing Platinum now.

    ESSENCE.com: I hear that for sure, so talk to me about your music. It really resonates in the clubs and particularly with the ladies.
    SONGZ: Musically, I want to make good music that people can feel. Music sets a tone like a soundtrack for your life. And, with the music I make, I know that I am making you laugh, making you feel sexy, making you wanna dance, make you wanna make love, whatever it is. I am trying to make good music that people can feel and people can relate to. The ladies just happen to relate to it a little more, and I appreciate that.
