Vietnamese rapper Suboi dropped some lines for President Barack Obama during his visit to the Asian country on May 24.
Suboi, regarded as Vietnam’s “Queen of Rap,” was given the chance to ask the president a question in a town hall meeting.
She asked Obama about how a nation can help promote arts and culture.
“Before I answer your question, why don’t you give me a little rap, let’s see what you got,” Obama told Suboi.
“Come on. Do you need like a little beat?” he said as he beat boxed.
“Vietnamese or English?” asked Suboi, 26.
“In Vietnamese, of course,” Obama responded. “I won’t know what it means, but ... just a short version, because I’ve got to get going. Go ahead.”
Suboi then went to give a taste of her rap talents accompanied by a crowd who supported her with an applause beat.
The president praised the catchy mini-rap, then asked her what she was saying.
