"He'd stand up there before those crowds, and by the way, without any musical instruments, I had much bigger crowds than he was drawing," he continued.
"But he'd stand up before those crowds, and he'd use the f-word, and Hillary would sit back and say 'I'm in trouble. Please don't have him use that kind of language anymore.' And then he'd finish and everyone would leave, and she'd be standing up making a speech to 400 people."
Trump was referring to a concert for Clinton in 2016 in which Jay-Z used profanity multiple times.
"You're tuned into the motherf----- greatest," a voice said as the rapper appeared on stage.
"If you feelin' like a pimp n----, go and brush your shoulders off," the rapper said. "Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off. N----- is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you. Get that dirt off your shoulders."
The rapper and the president have publicly sparred in the past.
Jay-Z condemned Trump's reported comments referring to Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as "shithole countries" earlier this year, saying the remarks were "disappointing" and "hurtful."
Trump fired back, citing the African-American unemployment rate in the U.S.
"Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!" Trump tweeted.
