Donald Trump is slamming Hillary Clinton's concert with Jay Z Friday night for the rapper using profanity in some of his songs. The comments follow Jay Z and Beyoncé throwing a concert rally for the Democratic presidential nominee in the key swing state of Ohio Friday night where Hov, Big Sean, Chance the Rapper, and Beyoncé all took the stage to perform.

"I didn't have to bring J. Lo or Jay Z, the only way she gets anybody," Trump told the crowd at his arena rally Friday night in Hershey, Pa. "I am here all by myself. Just me. No guitar, no piano, no nothing."

The Republican nominee for president elaborated on his sentiments Saturday when he stopped in Tampa, Fla. to make another speech for his supporters. "We don't need Jay Z to fill up arenas...we do it the old-fashioned way," Trump said. "I actually like Jay Z, but the language last night, ohhhh...I was thinking, maybe I'll just try—should I use that language for one of mine?"

"Can you imagine if I said that?" Trump continued, speaking more on the lyrics Jay Z rapped in his songs at the concert for Clinton. "So, he used every word in the book last night. He used language last night that was so bad, and then Hillary said, 'I did not like Donald Trump's lewd language.' My lewd language? I've never said what he said in my life! But that shows you the phoniness of politicians."

Shots were fired at the Clinton rally as well. "This other guy [Trump], I don't have any ill will…he cannot be my president," Jay Z told the crowd at the concert in Cleveland. "He cannot be our president. Once you divide us, you weaken us. We are stronger together," he added before introducing "the next president of the United States, Miss Hillary Clinton."
