Beyonce and Jay-Z Could Be in Trouble Over Cuban Trip

jay-bey-cubaThat little exotic Caribbean vacation Beyonce and Jay-Z took to Cuba for their fifth wedding anniversary could land hip hop’s favorite couple in hot water with the U.S. government.
Republican lawmakers are itching to find out who approved Beyonce and Jay-Z for their trip to Cuba, as there’s a longstanding travel ban for U.S. citizens on visiting the communist nation, according to Reuters.
U.S. Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart have written a letter to Adam Szubin, director of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, asking for more information on how Beyonce and Jay-Z secured releases for their trip to Cuba.
The State Department says it has no knowledge of how Beyonce and Jay-Z secured their license to visit the country. If Beyonce and Jay did travel without official permission (people can travel to the country for academic, religious or cultural exchanges), they could face a fine.
Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart represent Florida districts with Cuban populations who are anti-Castro and these communities are demanding answers.
