'Niggas in Paris' Used in Campaign Ad of French Presidential Candidate François Hollande
An ad reportedly released by the presidential campaign of Socialist Party candidate François Hollande features a rather odd soundtrack choice: Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Niggas in Paris."
The spot, which mocks rival Nicolas Sarkozy's tenuous-at-best relationship with residents of the Parisian suburbs, shows Hollande's diverse support base holding up their electoral cards like middle fingers directed at the incumbent.
Holland defeated Sarkozy in the first round of the 2012 presidential election. A second round run-off will be held on May 6th to determine which of the two will lead France for the next five years.
