Donald Trump said hip-hop artist Jay-Z's "filthy" language during his support of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election campaign made him look "clean-cut".
Mr Trump was speaking at a rally in Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday when he took aim at Jay-Z and a performance in November 2016 in support of Hillary Clinton.
"Crowds like this, I go one to another to another all over the country. She'd go there, the only way she filled up the arena was to get Jay-Z," he said.

He then targeted Jay-Z's language.
"And his language was so filthy that it made me like the most clean-cut human being on Earth," Mr Trump said at the Nashville rally.
Mr Trump added: "He'd stand up there before those crowds, and by the way, without any musical instruments, I had much bigger crowds than he was drawing."
"But he'd stand up before those crowds, and he'd use the f-word, and Hillary would sit back and say 'I'm in trouble. Please don't have him use that kind of language anymore.'"
Jay-Z and Mr Trump have exchanged words before after the hip-hop artist hit out at the president for his African nations "shithole countries" comment earlier this year.
Mr Trump also tweeted about Jay-Z when he said his policies have helped African American unemployment levels to be the lowest ever recorded.
