Niggas In Paris Used in French Presidential Election Campaign


Socialist candidate François Hollande is using Jay Z and Kanye West's smash hit single 'Niggas in Paris' in his campaign against incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy in the 2012 French presidential election....

Hollande's use of Niggas is seen as a thinly veiled dig at Sarkozy who has a notoriously poor relationship with impoverished Parisians.

As the song plays in one of Hollande's campaign ads diverse members of the French voting public hold up their voter registration cards.

Hollande is leading in the polls, by the way.
