will.i.am’s New Obama Video Delayed

will.i.am was supposed to debut his video honoring Barack Obama’s victory in the presidential race on Wednesday on dipdive.com, but the release has been delayed until Friday and taken away from dipdive.  Instead, Oprah will debut the video on her show, despite her past criticism of hip-hop music. Other celebrities are set to appear with will.i.am on the show.  This video, called “It’s a New Day,” follows will.i.am’s previous Obama video, “Yes We Can,” which appeared in February online.

Oprah continues to try to push herself into Obama’s story.  The first video was obviously successful without her help and her audience is not the target for the video, but she still will manage to make it about her.
