Jay-Z To Appear On Upcoming Episode of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show'
By Miles Bennett ♦ Published 09/08/2009

2009-09-02 - Jay and OprahIt looks like Jay-Z will be appearing on the "Oprah Show," as previously speculated.

Last month, photos of Oprah Winfrey and Jay-Z hanging out in the Marcy projects popped up on the net, which many thought were images of an interview being filmed for O's daytime talkshow.

However, it was later revealed that an interview would appear in Oprah's magazine O instead.

Tuesday morning (September 8), Jay appeared on New York's Hot 97 radio station and revealed that he will, in fact, appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

Jay said, on the radio, that he wanted to bring Oprah to Brooklyn so local residents could see that her success is tangible.

"I brought her around there really for the neighborhood," the rapper explained. " 'Cause a lot of times when you see people or you hear about Oprah Winfrey, she seems almost untouchable. When I saw her, it was shocking to me. So I know how that feels, to see someone on TV and hear their name and know there so hugely successful. They seem unattainable ... but for them to be around the way and for kids to just see that."

Jay's interview with Oprah will air September 24.

    I THINK THE ONLY REASON HE IS ON THE SHOW IS TO RENEW HER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HIPHOP COMMUNITY. BUT,IT'S GOING TO TAKE ALOT MORE THAN JAY-Z TO DO THAT. IT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. BUT,PEOPLE WILL BE JUDGING HER ON WHY THE SUDDEN INTEREST NOW.

    Oprah got too much dough to be worried about reconnecting with hip hop.

    I second your comment Mike!

    Jay Z is a FreeMason and Oprah is an OES(Order of th eEastern Star) so this makes perfect sense.

    Jay and Oprah Exemplify the Richness of African Heritage and Culture. When we were separated from our Indigenous heritage, and our language and ability to communicate with one another was destroyed; This negatively effected each one of us. Our exploiters knew that among those stolen were Kings and Queens desceded from Kemet, Yoruba, and Other empires of indigenous cultures. Throw off trhe Self Hate; Unite...
