“You let those crackers storm your Capitol, put their feet on your desk / And yet you talk tough to me, I lost all my little respect,” Jay-Z raps in the song.
The rule is a clear reference to images of the attempted coup by rioters in the Capitol, sitting at the desks of lawmakers such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Former President Trump is currently facing his second impeachment trial in the Senate over his actions that led to the uprising.
He is accused of leading and encouraging the violence on January 6 that claimed several lives, including a police officer.
