Jay Pharoah Joined ‘Weekend Update’ To Explain What’s Going On In The World Of Rap

Saturday Night Live realizes finally that Jay Pharoah’s impressions are what put him on the map, so it’s time for him to tap into his talents for the good of the show. Since the big news in everyone’s lives is how Beyonce made an album about Jay Z cheating on her, it’s also the big news on Weekend Update. But normal people just don’t understand the true impact of this infidelity. We need to know about the real people it affects. And so, Pharoah revealed something extremely important — there’s a secret rapper meeting every three months in Diddy’s above-ground submarine, and they held a meeting about Beyonce’s Lemonade.

What better man than Pharoah to relay exactly what happened at this secret meeting. Using his uncanny impressions of the attendees, he divulged the reactions to Jay Z’s apparent extramarital affair. From Jay Z himself, who was telling his side of the story, to 50 Cent, to T.I. to… Will Smith? Yeah, they were all there, and they all got skewered by Pharoah. Even Drake, who was hosting got raked over the coals of caricature.

Then, Drake came out to defend himself. It turned out, he couldn’t. Pharoah was just too spot-on.
