Social media personalities Diamond and Silk criticized Jay-Z on Sunday after the rapper and hip-hop mogul dismissed the historically low African-American unemployment rate.

Jay-Z told CNN in a new interview that lower unemployment for the country’s African-American population is not enough, when people in power are still mistreating minorities and others.
“It’s not about money at the end of the day,” he said in the interview. “Money doesn’t equate to happiness. It doesn’t. That’s missing the whole point. You treat people like human beings. That’s the main point.”
