Ray J And Amber Rose Pose In MAGA Hats After Trump Wins U.S. Election

by

Ray J and Amber Rose occupy an odd pocket in hip hop culture. Both are significant figures dating back a decade plus. That said, neither have played a direct role role in music in recent years, and they become more known for their antics than their careers. Some could argue their antics have become their careers. This definitely seemed the case on November 6. Amber Rose posted a photo alongside Ray J on her IG Story. Harmless enough? Well, the photo was made a bit more controversial by the fact that both celebs were wearing Donald Trump’s MAGA hat.

The timing of the post was not accidental. Trump won his second term as President on November 6, and Amber Rose has been a vocal supporter throughout his campaign. She was more than happy to get Ray J in on the celebration. “Look who I ran into,” she wrote over the photo. Ray sporting a MAGA hat is a bit more surprising than Rose, but not by much. The entertainer has been linked to Trump several times over the years. Usually, on his own accord. Ray J went on Hollywood Unlocked in 2020 and declared that the future U.S. President is “the homie.” He told host Jason Lee that he could get in touch with Trump in the span of a few minutes.

Ray J Has Met With Donald Trump On Multiple Occasions

Ray J also met with Trump in 2022. The entertainer’s manager, David Weintraub, told People that Ray J and Trump spent the day at Mar-a-Lago golfing and talking about business ventures. “He just felt like it was a good time to talk about business and technology and Black empowerment,” Weintraub explained. “What he’s doing right now is he’s exploring options and creating relationships.” Ray J’s affiliation with Trump even led to a spat with fellow artist Kodak Black in 2023.

Ray went to the comment section on DJ Akademiks profile and claimed that Kodak acted disrespectfully when they both went to meet with Donald Trump. “I took him to Trump house and he did the most,” Ray J claimed. “They were not happy with the experience bc he had no guidance and respect. Let’s figure out how we can help this guy instead of watching him self destruct.” Wack 100 dismissed the claims that the Florida rapper misbehaved. Kodak Black himself, denied these allegations during his appearance on the Drink Champs podcast. Regardless, Ray J’s opinion of Trump is seemingly stronger than ever.

Meek Mill Claims Voters Were “Brainwashed” During U.S. Election

by

Reactions following the U.S. election were varied. Some celebrated victory, others lamented defeat. Meek Mill, however, did neither. The rapper decided to hop on Twitter instead, and voice happiness over the fact that the election is over. Meek Mill had been vocal throughout the entire election season. He even dropped a song on November 3 called “WHO YOU VOTING FOR?.” Evidently, the “who” was not of importance to him. He’s just happy that the U.S. public is no longer, in his estimation “brainwashed.”

Meek Mill was downright giddy on November 5. “I’m glad the election over,” he tweeted. “The brainwash was turned up on max!.” He also reposted a tweet in which a photo of Kamala Harris was juxtaposed with a photo of a Simpsons episode in which a female president was depicted. The tweet claimed that this is the first time the show failed to predict a political event accurately, and it appears as though the rapper agreed. A few hours after Meek Mill criticized voters for their “brainwash” antics, he tweeted a reference to the 1999 film The Matrix. “They about to break the matrix lol,” he wrote, without specifying who “they” are supposed to be.

Meek Mill Previously Endorsed Kamala Harris In Song

Meek Mill’s political allegiance has been difficult to track. The rapper has said positive things about both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris over the course of the last year. He praised Donald Trump for somehow being able to win the election after two assassination attempts and several criminal charges. “Who is this guy trump fr,” he tweeted. “I know some wild guys but wtf lol just my thoughts!” Meek Mill also stated he would be interested in discussing policy with Kamala Harris, given her past as a prosecutor. “I would ask her three questions about black and brown men going to prison,” he asserted.

Despite claiming that he did not intend to endorse either candidate, Meek Mill seemingly endorsed Harris the day before the election. He did so on the aforementioned song, “WHO YOU VOTING FOR?.” He noted that he had friends who were Trump supporters, but couldn’t abide by the “venomous ways” in which he moved. “And I ain’t vote for Cam-a-la, I’m a probably vote Kamala,” he spit. “Somebody call her.” Meek is somebody that is prone to changing his mind, or making confusing public remarks. That said, his joy over the concluded election cycle seems genuine.

Kamala Harris Concedes The Election To Donald Trump

WASHINGTON, DC – NOVEMBER 06: Democratic presidential nominee, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris arrives to speak on stage as she concedes the election, at Howard University on November 06, 2024, in Washington, DC. After a contentious campaign focused on key battleground states, the Republican presidential nominee, former U.S. President Donald Trump was projected to secure the majority of electoral votes, giving him a second term as U.S. President. Republicans also secured control of the Senate for the first time in four years. (Photo by Brandon Bell/Getty Images)

Trump declared victory in the election around 2:30 AM, EST on Wednesday morning, after dominating across the board electorally. The wins for Republicans didn’t stop there either with the Associated Press reporting that Republicans have won control of the U.S. Senate as well. The House of Representatives, however, still appears to be up for grabs.

GloRilla Jokes About Kamala Harris’ Loss

GloRilla’s post comes as Kamala Harris conceded to Donald Trump in a speech from Howard University in Washington, D.C. “The outcome of this election was not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting,” she told her crowd of supporters. Be on the lookout for further updates on GloRilla as well as the 2024 election on HotNewHipHop.

by

Shyne shared a congratulatory statement for Donald Trump on Wednesday morning after he won the 2024 election over Kamala Harris. Taking to Instagram, the Belizean rapper and politician emphasized that the country is committed to strengthening their relations.

“The Opposition and people of Belize congratulate our friends in the U.S. on having fair, free and peaceful elections,” he began. “We congratulate the President elect of the United States, Donald J Trump, on his victory.

The congratulatory message isn’t going over well with Shyne’s followers. “Shyne, you could have left this post in your drafts,” one user commented. Another theorized: “The only reason it was peaceful was because he won…..anything else would have been uncivilized, which we all saw.” One more responded: “The people of Belize DO NOT CONGRATULATE this man.”

Shyne Reacts To Donald Trump Winning The Presidency

Check out Shyne’s full statement on the election below. In addition to Trump winning the presidency, the Associated Press reports that Republicans have won control of the U.S. Senate. This will allow Trump significantly more freedom in the picks for his Cabinet as well as choices for Supreme Court justices if any vacancies arise. Kamala Harris has yet to concede the race but is scheduled to speak at 4:00 PM, EST today, when she’s expected to do so. The House of Representatives has yet to be decided, and those races could take days to determine. Be on the lookout for further updates on Shyne on HotNewHipHop.

She wrote in the caption: “Lmao I lied, I voted for Trump yesterday,” with a laughing emoji.

As for Banks’ initial endorsement of Harris, she cited Trump’s allegiance with Elon Musk as a key contributing factor. “I really think keeping Elon Musk away from any type of political power in the USA is tantamount to any issue on the table here.

Jason Lee Of Hollywood Unlocked Wins Councilman Race In California

by

Jason Lee, of Hollywood Unlocked fame, has won the race for Councilman of Stockton, California’s sixth district. He was able to do so with 55.7% of the vote over his opponent, Kimberly Warmsley. The victory came amid a night of disappointment for Democrats, as Donald Trump easily secured a Republican win for the presidency.

Lee previously discussed his decision to get into politics during an interview with BET. “It’s very different from being in the media and covering pop culture to being in politics. When I talk on Hollywood Unlocked, people are going to like my opinion or not,” Lee explained to the publication, last month. “But when you’re in the streets trying to tackle homelessness, trying to make the streets safer for kids, making sure people live in market-rate housing, and have a community that can thrive again, it’s a very different experience.”

He added: “Running for office took me back to my days of working for the union, which I did for 11 years at [the Service Employees International Union]. This is real purposeful work. I’m not saying the work I do at Hollywood Unlocked isn’t purpose-driven, but being able to help people in my community where I grew up, where my family still lives, [and] where I’ve moved back to is where the heart is. It’s my passion.”

On the other side of the country, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis also made headlines for winning her bid for reelection. On top of the presidency, the Associated Press reports that Republicans have won control of the U.S. Senate as well. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jason Lee on HotNewHipHop.

Charlamagne Tha God Emphatically Blames Joe Biden After Disastrous Election Results For Democrats

by

Charlamagne Tha God went off on Joe Biden during Wednesday morning’s episode of The Breakfast Club while discussing the results of the 2024 presidential election. The rant comes after Donald Trump declared victory over Kamala Harris from his watch party at Mar-a-Lago just before 2:30 AM, EST. By that point, he had clinched 277 electoral college votes.

“Biden is one of the problems here because he should’ve let everyone know he was just a transitional president,” Charlamagne began. “He should’ve let everybody know he was just going to do four years and get on about his business. Biden should’ve dropped out a year ago or two years ago. And they should’ve made him drop out a year or two years ago. Or not drop out, but say he was not going to run again. Whoever could’ve prepared. They could’ve done a proper primary, picked a candidate. I still think the V.P. probably would’ve been the best choice. I think Biden is one of the bigger issues here that people aren’t going to want to talk about but they should. At the end of the day, America spoke loud and clear. It was a free and fair election. People went out there and voted for the candidate that they wanted to vote for and now that candidate is our President.”

by

Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor known for bringing charges against former President Donald Trump over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election as well as spearheading the case against Young Thug and his YSL associates, has won her bid for reelection in Fulton County as the District Attorney. In doing so, she defeated Republican challenger Courtney Kramer. Fulton County, which is home to much of Atlanta, has been a Democratic stronghold in the state of Georgia.

We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We’re going to fix our borders. We’re going to fix everything about our country and we’ve made history for a reason tonight. And the reason is going to be just that. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible.”
