The private ball for campaign staffers was reportedly headlined by Jay-Z in 2009, during which the rapper is said to have sung "99 Problems but George Bush Ain't One."

A number of music stars are lined up to perform during activities related to Obama’s Jan. 21 inauguration, including Kelly Clarkson, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys,  Usher, fun., and Cyndi Lauper.
