"Saturday Night Live" Releases Fake Jay Z Biopic Trailer

Last night, Saturday Night Live released a parody biopic trailer featuring white actors Mike O'Brien, Jason Sudeikis, and J.K. Simmons as Jay Z, Kanye West, and Nas respectively.

The sketch, a promo clip for a fake film called "The Jay Z Story," parodies the state of whitewashing in the film industry and kicks off with O'Brien yelling, "Cocaine for sale!" Later in the clip, Jay Pharaoh offers up his renowned Jay Z impression but gets shot down by O'Brien in a discussion about his planned musical direction.

The fake biopic trailer also portrays a scene explaining the resolution of the rapper's beef with Nas and an imagined first meeting between Jay Z and Beyonce.

"I'm Sean, err, Jay Z," O'Brien says. "I'm Beyonce from Destiny's Child," actress Sasheer Zamata replies."I know who you are. P.S. You're so pretty!" O'Brien says.
