Jay Z on a Jet Ski Is the Meme We All Deserve This Summer

Consider the jet ski, the humble water sport accessory favored by Oscars hosts and pop stars alike, the ultimate summer accessory. At least, that's the case that Rihanna has made in the past, with an instantly iconic photo of her riding a jet ski side-saddle, her facial expression non-plussed. Rihanna's not the only public figure whose jet ski escapades have captured the fancy of the Internet, however; Jay Z has become a summer legend in his own right with a photo of him riding a jet ski, equally unimpressed, while sporting a helmet and a pair of sunglasses. Like Rihanna, the photos of Jay are relative throwbacks (High Snobiety, has speculated they've been taken in 2016), but have gotten a new lease on life, thanks to a fresh batch of memes that the Internet has cooked up using the photos.
