Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee calls Jay Z a pimp for exploiting Beyoncé in his new book "God, Guns, Grits and Gravy," U.S. News reported.

The 2008 Presidential hopeful said watching the entertainment power couple's 2013 Grammy Award performance was like watching foreplay.

"My reaction: Why? Beyoncé is incredibly talented -- gifted, in fact. She has an exceptional set of pipes and can actually sing," the Fox News talk show host writes.

"She is a terrific dancer -- without the explicit moves best left for the privacy of her bedroom. Jay-Z is a very shrewd businessman, but I wonder: Does it occur to him that he is arguably crossing the line from husband to pimp by exploiting his wife as a sex object?"

Huckabee also talks about same-sex marriage saying that, "Marriage as an institution is not so much threatened by same-sex couples as it is by heterosexuals' increasing indifference to it."

He added, "When advocates of same-sex marriage say, 'What's the harm,' the honest reply is that at this point, we simply don't have enough reliable accumulated data to be able to say."

The former governor also dedicates a chapter of his book to the airport security process which requires travelers to be, "ordered to stand still, put up [their] hands and have [their] personal belongings taken and searched without warrant or probable cause."

"After years of his indignity, much of the flying public thinks little of it, and they usually don't complain. They just dutifully stand there, bend over, and take it like a prisoner," Huckabee writes.

The likely Republican contender also criticizes First Lady Michelle Obama and the U.S. President for having a close relationship with Jay Z and Beyoncé, according to Daily Mail.

"How can it be that the Obamas let Sasha and Malia listen to that trash?" he asks.

"God, Guns, Grits and Gravy" is set to release later this month and Huckabee will promote his book on an eight-state tour.
