Jack White was given the key to Cincinnati by Mayor John Cranley in June of 2018. The key was presented to him outside of the King Record building, which was where artists such as James Brown, Bootsy Collins, Otis Williams, and more recorded before the label died in the 1970s.

Jack White played a crucial role in saving the building which the city of Cincinnati later acquired in order to prevent demolition. The city felt it was only necessary to present White with a key to the city for his devotion to the project of keeping the building standing.
