VIDEO: Jay-Z, Diddy, Nas endorse NYC mayoral candidate Ray McGuire

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Rappers Jay-Z, Diddy and Nas threw their support behind New York City mayoral candidate Ray McGuire in a new video released by his campaign early Wednesday morning.

McGuire, a former Wall Street executive and Harvard College graduate, entered the mayoral race with an endorsement from filmmaker Spike Lee in December.

In their endorsement video, the three rappers touted McGuire as the person to lead New York City out of a COVID-19 pandemic-fueled crisis.

“This mayoral race is something that I feel like, you know, New Yorkers have to realize that New York is in a state of emergency,” Diddy says in the video.

“New York could be the first city that really does something bold to take care of the people,” he adds. “That’s why I was excited about this conversation, just knowing Ray.”
