It’s no secret that many politicians pander for the Black vote but Andrew Yang is learning the hard way that a little research goes a long way.

The New York City mayoral candidate found himself in an awkward situation when he claimed to be a fan of JAY-Z’s music and was asked to name his favorite song and couldn’t.

Ziwe Fumudoh had Andrew Yang on a recent episode of Ziwe and asked, ”Do you listen to rap music by the way?”

Yang could’ve been honest and simply responded no but he was reaching for cool points when he responded, “I listened to a lot of hip-hop during like the ‘90s and 2000s,” to which the host asked, “like what Andrew I gotta know.” Then he name-dropped the most recognizable names he can think of: JAY-Z and Nas.

He was asked to name his favorite Hov song and Yang took a pregnant pause but ultimately asked the question back. “What is my favorite Jay-Z song?” he nervously asked.
