A Deeper Look at Rappers Who Support Donald Trump
Some of the biggest artists in hip-hop are still supporting former President Donald Trump despite his ongoing legal battles. In 2023, Trump was slapped with 34 felony counts for falsifying New York business records before the 2016 elections. Last August, he was indicted on 13 separate counts, including a racketeering charge and several fraud and false statement offenses in Fulton County, Ga. This past May, Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money trial in New York.
Nevertheless, several rappers are standing by their 2024 Republican presidential hopeful. In an interview with comedian Theo Von on his “This Past Weekend” podcast last October, Sexyy Red gave props to Trump for pardoning Lil Wayne and distributing stimulus checks during his tenure from 2017 to 2021.
Here Are Rappers Who Are Still Supporting Donald Trump
Sexyy Red
Sexyy Red wishes Donald Trump were still in the Oval Office, and if you let her tell it, so does everyone else in her neighborhood. On Oct. 3, 2023, the rising star repping St. Louis joined Theo Von on his This Past Weekend podcast and explained her assertion.
“I like Trump,” Sexyy Red told Von. “They support him in the hood. At first, I don’t think people was f**king with him. They thought he was racist, saying little s**t against women. But once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people that free money. Awe, baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office.”
Chief Keef
In August of 2023, Chief Keef shouted out Trump following the former POTUS’ arrest in Atlanta on charges including violating Georgia’s RICO Act. Sharing an obviously Photoshopped image of Trump throwing up a Gangsta Disciple gang sign, Sosa opined about Trump getting a pass if he were to end up in prison.
“Nah my boy in dat b***h bangin on dem folks,” Chief Keef wrote over the photo on his Instagram Story. “I know whatever deck he on he good in the hood for sure he finna run the prison. That boy finna be eating like a MF all da Blacks finna have my boy back.”
Kodak Black
On April 6, 2023, two days after Donald Trump was arrested on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, Kodak Black defended the former Commander-in-Chief in front of all his followers on Instagram Live.
“I feel like these people are on some other s**t,” Kodak Black declared on IG Live. “They are trying to get Trump out the way cause Trump a stand-up n***a. Biden will let a n***a do anything.”
He continued, “Trump is a real n***a. He’s a soldier. It ain’t how he snapped for a n***a. It ain’t even about that. Y’all get off Trump, man.”
Yak’s allegiance should come as no surprise as Trump famously used his presidential powers to commutate the South Florida spitter in 2021 while Kodak was serving a four-year sentence on a federal gun charge.
Fivio Foreign
Fivio Foreign has been a major supporter of Donald Trump since his first term in the Oval Office back in 2016. In 2019, the Brooklyn drill rapper released a video for “Big Drip,” which featured a man rocking a specially designed Make America Great Again hat. In a 2020 video interview, when a fan asked Fivio if wearing a MAGA hat was hip-hop, he said, “Yeah, it’s hip-hop.”
Fast-forward to 2024, Trump is running for a second term as POTUS, and Fivio is again showing his support. This time, Fivio collaborated with fellow Trump devotee Kodak Black on a track called “ONBOA47RD,” which includes samples from Trump’s bland 2017 inauguration speech.
Then, on X, formerly Twitter, Fivio Foreign made it clear he was a Trumper. “Ngl.. MAGA[!],” he wrote in a post.
Bandman Kevo
Bandman Kevo is another rapper who hasn’t tried to hide his support for the MAGA leader. He revealed in an interview with the We In Miami podcast in October of 2023, that the mugshot was his second tattoo of Trump. When questioned why he’d get a tatt of Trump despite the twice-impeached president’s offensive comments towards Black people, Bandman said it was no different than showing love to Ben Franklin.
“Just like 100 bill, people like let me get that on me,” Bandman said. “But he was a whole slave owner.”
When asked to elaborate on his love for Trump, he said that Biden was forcing him to pay a lot in taxes.
“I mean I feel like the Democrats is more like for people who need help,” Kevo explained. “We will give you this you can get more food stamps or more this or more that, you know? To be honest Trump got me out of jail like six months early.”
Benny The Butcher
While the Mayor of Buffalo, N.Y. is a member of the Democratic Party, Queen City mainstay Benny The Butcher made his voting intentions clear this year to the contrary. At least regarding the next presidential election. In a short and to-the-point statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Aug. 12, 2023, Benny announced, “I’m votin Trump 2024.”
Despite going back and forth with many detractors online following the declaration, Benny The Butcher has yet to give a concrete reason for his definitive choice to vote for the former President of the United States.
Lil Pump
Lil Pump‘s love of Trump goes all the way back to 2020, when the Florida rapper joined him on stage during one of his rallies. Pump also showed love to Trump this year. On Aug. 26, 2023, Pump posted his mugshot in solidarity with that of the former president after Trump’s arrest in Atlanta.
“FREETRUMP,” Pump wrote in an Instagram post, attached to an image showing the two mugshots side by side.
OhGeesy
OhGeesy echoed Sexyy Red’s sentiments in an interview with TMZ in October of 2023, and said he too was in support of Trump’s return to office. He said if Trump were president again, the public would be getting more stimulus checks.
“We f**k with Donald Trump, he brought the stimulus checks we need some more of that right now,” OhGeesy said. “Bring Donald Trump back in, shout out Sexyy Red, too.”
Waka Flocka Flame
Waka Flocka Flame has been a fan of Trump for a while. In 2020, he suggested Trump was a better president than Obama. The following year, the Atlanta rapper received a lifetime achievement award from the former Commander-in-Chief. Waka still pledges allegiance to Trump. In October of 2023, Waka not only posted the tweet “TRUMP2024” but just days later, he shared a photo of himself alongside the former POTUS along with the caption “#NewProfilePic.”
Azealia Banks
While Azealia Banks‘ commitment to Trump was steadfast back in 2016, the controversial singer reaffirmed her support for the former POTUS in an interview in November of 2023. She argued to The Standard that Trump would protect the Second Amendment, saying you would “absolutely need guns” if there was ever “a nuclear fallout or a meteor hitting Earth.” Another point Banks argued in her interview is that Donald Trump just cracks her up.
“He’s just f*k*ing funnyyyy,” she said. “He’s been through how many bankruptcies? How many wives? How many television shows? Seriously, nothing can take him down?”
Peezy
It looks like Donald Trump will be getting Peezy‘s vote in the upcoming election. In February of 2024, the Detroit rapper shared a video on social media asking for help finding Trump’s newly released sneakers.
“F**k Joe Biden, I’m rocking with Trump,” Peezy said in the selfie video. “F**k Kamala Harris, I’m rocking with Trump. Free Trump.”
Money Man
Money Man said in an interview with the HoodClips podcast in March of 2024 that he’d likely vote for Trump again come November.
“I f**k with Trump,” Money Man said. “I would go Trump [if he ran again]. This my thing — I don’t think the Democrats done did s**t for us, man. I don’t see n****s getting rich out this b***h, man.”
Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow
Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow attended a Trump rally in the Bronx, N.Y. in May of 2024. During the event, the two rhymers went on stage and Sheff cosigned Trump.
“They always gon’ whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures,” Sheff told the crowd. “Trump gon’ shout the wins for all of us.”
OT7 Quanny
Philadelphia rapper OT7 Quanny showed Republican hopeful Donald Trump brotherly love during his campaign stop in Philly. During his speech to a captive crowd, Trump gave a shout-out to Quanny and thanked him for wearing his “Make America Great Again” hat.
Quanny also had the opportunity to meet Trump in person and was invited to tour his private plane, where Trump signed his MAGA hat.
42 Dugg
42 Dugg showed his support for Trump on a track he shared in August of 2024.
“Me and Trump the same ni**a, put on my red hat, red Bach matching the soda/Say it’s our turn we need em voting,” Dugg raps. “Immunity, free cheese, we need em both/Pardons, big Meech, we need him home, starting 2024/I don’t agree with the police sh*t but yeah right, whole hood could be back turnt.”
Lord Jamar
Lord Jamar has been vocal about his opposition to Vice President Kamala Harris on multiple occasions. During an interview with The Art of Dialogue in October of 2024, the Brand Nubian member announced he might vote for Trump after claiming Harris is unqualified.
“People want to act like Trump is the worst muthaf**a in the world, but guess what? He was already president and all this sh*t that you’re talking about didn’t happen,” he said. “He didn’t make himself a dictator and this whole sh*t about ‘he’s going to make himself a dictator’ is really taken so out of context that it’s ridiculous. He said he’d make himself a dictator on the first day, you know, to do some—implement some sh*t and then, you know, but that was, trust me, said tongue-in-cheek, it was not said seriously.”
“She’s the one that scares me! So I feel that she’s so bad that guess what I might just go f**k around and vote for Trump and this is my first time saying this out loud but y’all muthaf**ka think you’re gonna shame somebody or bully a ni**a into voting for this b**ch? Absolutely not.” Seen
