Jamie Anderson has said that Nas's song 'I Can' inspired her before her winning run in the women's snowboard slopestyle on Sunday.
Anderson revealed that she danced to the song before taking home the gold medal for the USA with a score of 95.25.
She told ABC: "It's just a very inspirational song to truly believe in yourself and know that you're capable of anything. If you work hard at it, you can. It's the truth."
Nas responded on his official Twitter account, saying that Anderson is "living the American dream" and that he was "honoured" to be a part of it.
Shout out to @Jme_Anderson. She's living the American dream! Honored to be apart of it. Congrats on the Gold! http://t.co/9wpRVyv1CQ
