After being found not guilty of a DUI, Greenwood, South Carolina mayor Welborn Adams used Jay-Z lyrics to express his elation.

Adams tweeted, “In the words of Jay Z, ‘not guilty, y’all got to feel me.’” The lyrics were taken from Jay-Z’s “Izzo (H.O.V.A.),” and refers to Carter’s run-in with the law; a topic he also explores on “22 Two’s” and “Guilty Until Proven Innocent.”

According to the Associated Press, In 2015 Adams was pulled over by local authorities following his wife’s 40th birthday party. State trooper Derek Johnson administered a breathe test and Adams showed a blood alcohol level of .09 percent. The legal limit is .08 percent.

With the testimony of his wife, Adams’ defense lawyer Billy Nicholson III argued that Adams was not able to pass a sobriety test because of a torn Achilles tendon, an injury he suffered three years prior. Adams’s wife Ericka Adams told the Associated Press that he trips regularly while jogging. “I don’t want to make fun of him,” Ericka Adams said. “He’s a genius, but he is clumsy.”

Adams isn’t the only white collar to use pop lyrics to their advantage. Brooklyn Congressman Hakeem Jeffries once recited lyrics from the Notorious B.I.G. on the House floor, and maybe more appropriately Canadian politician Niki Ashton used Beyonce lyrics to promote her campaign for the New Democratic Party.

It’s not an uncommon occurrence to see politicians use hip-hop culture as a way to connect with the youth. Or in this case laugh at a rule that would land any normal person in jail. It’s yet another tasteless example of a suit dodging the law.

Suffice it to say — a whole lotta memes going on right now.
