Jay-Z Features New Web-based Cartoon

Jay-Z has made a cameo in a web-based cartoon series.

The rapper has lent his voice acting skills to online animation programme Secret Millionaires Club, which follows a group of kids who tackle financial emergencies.

Created by Warren E Buffet, the business mogul started the series to help youngsters employ sensible financial habits from an early stage.

He told The New York Times: "I saw an opportunity to have a good time and maybe get a fair number of kids in this country started with the right financial habits.

"Learning at the starting line is so important."

On getting Jay-Z to participate in the cartoon, he added: "It was not a tough sell, believe me. He's a real business man, I'm just pretending."

Buffet concluded that he hopes Secret Millionaires Club will continue as a web-based series for years to come and is looking to hire more high-profile cameos.

Jay-Z recently said that he is prepared to back US President Barack Obama in the 2012 election.
