A source familiar with Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Havana itinerary confirmed to Reuters that the duo were on a cultural trip to Cuba that involved meeting with Cuban artists and musicians, as well as visiting clubs where live music was playing.

They also spent time at a children’s theatre as well as eating at privately-run restaurants called ‘paladares’ with both their mothers.

Republican politicians Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart insited on an investigation into Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s trip claiming it was being used for Cuban government propaganda.

According to the insider the power couple's trip was a cultural visit and they did not meet with any officials or engage in the more usual tourist activities such as going to the beach. BEYONCÉ TALKS INSPIRATION FOR CHIME FOR CHANGE
