New York (AFP) - Rap mogul Jay Z has quietly used his wealth to post bail for people arrested in protests across the United States against police, an author close to him said Sunday.

Dream Hampton, a writer and activist who worked with Jay Z on his 2010 memoir "Decoded," made the revelations in a series of messages on Twitter that were deleted but were posted by the hip-hop magazine Complex.

"When we needed money for bail for Baltimore protesters, I... hit Jay up, as I had for Ferguson (and he) wired tens of thousands" of dollars within minutes, read one tweet.

I... hit Jay up, as I had for Ferguson (and he) wired tens of thousands" of dollars within minutes, read one tweet.

So Jay Z supports thugs, who woulda thunk?

She also tweeted that Jay Z and his pop superstar wife Beyonce wrote a "huge check" to support the burgeoning "Black Lives Matter" movement aimed at stopping police brutality.

Speechless, but not surprised.

Why would he do that? I guess he must be involved with the movement against the Police.

The guy should create jobs with his wealth. Why not start a manufacturing company in Baltimore or Detroit?

Are you kidding. Black liberal elitists are just as bad as their white counterparts.

They “got theirs” so the hood can go to Hell except when they are needed to push the leftist agenda then crumbs are sent their way.

People who work productive jobs need productive, orderly minds.

People like that don't listen to the "music" of Mr. Jay Z.

The homosexual guy who's been organizing the #BlackLivesMatter marches, Deray McKesson, bragged last week about how Beyonce just started started following him on Twitter.

It was a feather in his cap. She has millions of followers but she herself only follows 8 other people. So her doing that added a a lot of cred to him in those circles.

He mysteriously was able to leave his job and fly around the country organizing riots. Everyone says Soros is paying him but I imagine a lot of people are lining his paypal account.

This is him and his Jabba the Hut friend Johnetta Elzie (Netta) who somehow snagged a post with Amnesty International soon after leading riots in Ferguson.

There is a picture of Deray in whiteface and drag going around the web but Google does a pretty good job of keeping it deleted. They only put his best face forward I guess.

JayZ support the 5% Nation. Google what they believe.

Black supremacists as equally vile as Skinheads.
