Information on the cameo
John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy, also known popularly by his initials, JFK, was born on May 29th, 1917. He served in both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate before becoming the 35th President of the United States, as well as both the second-youngest President (after Theodore Roosevelt), the youngest to have been elected (Roosevelt first assumed office as president following William McKinley's assassination) and the first to have been born in the 20th century. Major events during his presidency include the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Space Race, the construction of the Berlin Wall, the African-American Civil Rights Movement, and increased U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. He also faced a number of foreign crises, such as in Cuba and Berlin, but managed to make achievements such as the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty and the Alliance for Progress.
On November 22nd, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated while riding a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. This left the United States, as well as the rest of the world, shocked and heartbroken, with some world leaders going on television to address their condolences and many conspiracy theories arising over it. American sniper, Lee Harvey Oswald, was officially accused of the murder. Oswald, too, would be shot and killed just two days later by bar owner Jack Ruby. Kennedy was the eighth and most recent President to die while in office, and the fourth to be assassinated.
After his death, many things were renamed in Kennedy's honor: the most famous of these is when New York Idlewild International Airport was renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport and given the new code JFK. The NASA Launch Operations Center were also renamed the Kennedy Space Center.
Appearance in the rap battle
He appeared alongside Marlon Brando while Marilyn Monroe said the line "But you're forgetting the others: Marlon Brando and the Kennedys, while you fucked your own brothers!", seen adjusting his suit. This was a reference to the alleged hidden affair between Marilyn Monroe and Kennedy.
