Jay-Z may have built an empire for himself over the years but it all started with his ability to be witty in songs and slick with words.

Jay is one of the producers of the film, and during a Q&A at the London Film Festival he was asked if he could ride a horse.

"I can ride a Porsche," he replied. "It got horsepower."

Both the audience and interviewer broke out into laughter, as Jay smiled.
