Beyonce and husband Jay-Z took are in the midst of controversy regarding their choice to vacation in Cuba for their anniversary. The couple has been called insensitive for not addressing the human rights controversy and because the US has deemed it illegal for citizens to visit Cuba as tourists.

He also clarified that the ban will expand to cover photos, television shows and broadcasts and even films.
