Black Students Allegedly Receive Concerning And Racist Text Messages After U.S. Election

November 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s only been about three days since the United States election, during which convicted Republican candidate Donald Trump emerged victorious against the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Already, some concerning communication and discourse seems to rub this in the face of communities that fear what the next four years will look like. Moreover, reports emerged of alleged text messages sent to Black students, such as one testimony from the University of Alabama. These messages are quite worrisome and frankly racist, as they pretend to assign Black students to plantations or to be “house slaves” via automated messaging and “instructions.” You can see the horrible sentiments for yourself down below.

Of course, these are all just allegations, and it’s unclear what the purpose of these messages are or who is responsible. Either way, it’s a disgusting move. Other alleged affected academic institutions include Clemson and Alabama State. One particular message in the alleged examples down below claims to be from “The Trump Administration,” and another indicates their false and racist instructions will take effect after his entry into office next January. Beyond this, many other reactions to the election results paint a divided picture of a bigoted country, whereas others seek to maintain hope and decency.

Black Students Allegedly Barraged With Racist Messages After Trump’s Victory In U.S. Election

“We want to congratulate President Trump and Senator Vance on their victory,” former U.S. president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle expressed in a statement. “This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues. But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transition of power. Michelle and I could not be prouder of Vice President Harris and Governor Walz – two extraordinary public servants who ran a remarkable campaign.”

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris reportedly spoke to Donald Trump after the election results became clear to emphasize cooperation and the best interests of the U.S. citizenry. No matter where these messages came from, finding community and supporting each other is the strongest way to combat them. Racist sentiments and discrimination must face a large opposing front if the mission of democracy is to succeed.

Stephen A Smith Reveals If He’d Ever Consider Running For President

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During his recent appearance on The View, Stephen A Smith discussed the results of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election and made an interesting revelation about his own potential future in politics. The personality was asked whether or not he’d ever consider running for president, and while he admits he’s not exactly qualified, he said he might consider it under the right conditions.

“If you came to me and you told me I had a legitimate shot to win the presidency of the United States of America, I would definitely consider it,” he explained. “But I would be independent because I don’t like either side and I’m not gonna be bought and paid for. I’m gonna do what’s in the best interest of the American people, whatever that may be.”

Stephen A Smith Claims He’d “Definitely” Consider Running For President If He Had A “Legitimate Shot To Win”

Smith may be open to considering running for president, but he also pointed out that he’s happy with his life the way it is, and truly has “no desire to be a Congressional figure.” As for his take on the results of the election, he couldn’t help but praise Donald Trump for pulling out a win despite the circumstances. “Donald Trump’s return to the White House is the greatest comeback probably in American history,” he said on his show yesterday. “Thirty-four felony counts, two impeachments — I can’t count the number of mistakes that he has made. When he departed in 2020 after the insurrection at the United States capital, we all thought he was finished, he was done.”

Earlier this year, Smith even expressed interest in debating Trump, insisting that he’d have it in the bag. “I would love to be in a presidential debate,” he told Howard Stern in January. “I’d eat him alive. I wouldn’t run for the presidency, but I’d debate Trump any day of the week. Any day of the week. Name the time and place and I’d show up.” What do you think of Stephen A Smith claiming he’d consider running for president of the United States? Do you think he should or not?

Bandman Kevo Is Rocking A New Donald Trump Tattoo After His Win For U.S. President

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bandman Kevo is known for his often controversial or antic-heavy behavior, something that surprisingly shows up in his choice of ink for many online users who come across his social media presence. For example, he recently got a back leg tattoo of Donald Trump following the convicted Republican’s victory in the United States presidential election this week. The artist themselves posted the artwork, which also features a MAGA hat. As you can imagine, both the artist’s comments section and the one in the post down below reacted quite divisively to this. Some celebrated this tribute, whereas others lamented the results and this tribute.

However, as alluded to before, this is far from the only tattoo that Bandman Kevo got that ruffled a lot of feathers online. Back in June, he got leg tattoos of various rich white men, namely Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos. As such, this Trump tattoo should really come as no surprise. Still, it didn’t answer fans’ questions as to why Bandman would want to portray these individuals in the first place, as these new inks don’t really come with much explanation. Elsewhere, it’s up to online users to speculate.

In fact, this isn’t even the first tattoo that Bandman Kevo reportedly got depicting Donald Trump, and this double down probably cost plenty of money and energy for something that an artist already plastered onto his body. So we are still no closer to finding out why exactly this support is so strong, but we’re sure that the recent presidential victory spurred this. The artist themselves seemed to express their support for No. 47, so it was likely a two-way street. At the end of the day, it’s just someone’s tattoo, and not much else… Explicitly, that is.

Sadly, Bandman Kevo dealt with some heartbreaking news this year that no political victory can assuage. He revealed via social media that his 15-year-old son passed away due to gun violence earlier in 2024. Our condolences are with Kevo and his family during this difficult time. Hopefully 2025 yields more positive developments and events for him that don’t involve tragedy.

DJ Vlad Alleges He Almost Interviewed Kamala Harris & Tim Walz While Criticizing Her Press Run

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While DJ Vlad is mostly known for his hip-hop-centric interviews and media presence on his VladTV and personal platforms, he recently alleged that he tried to dip his toes into big political fare. Late Wednesday night (November 6), he took to Twitter to claim that he was in contact with Kamala Harris’ media team over the past several months to attempt to set up an interview with her or with Tim Walz. Harris – the Democratic candidate for president of the United States this year – and Walz – her running mate for vice president – lost in the 2024 election to Donald Trump. But that wasn’t all that Vlad had to say about the Harris campaign, particularly her press run.

“For the record, I was in contact with Kamala’s media team for months trying to set up an interview with her or Walz, and they ultimately passed on both of them,” DJ Vlad alleged. “I think my interview with her would have been her biggest interview if I had free reign to do the interview I wanted to do. Kamala’s team really dropped the ball when it came to the interviews they scheduled for her during the campaign. Her biggest bad decision was turning down Joe Rogan – who just gave Trump one of the biggest interviews of all time on YouTube. If they had been as forward-thinking as Trump and made their rounds on all the important podcasts, I think she would have flipped some of the key states she barely lost in and possibly won the election.”

DJ Vlad Has Words For Kamala Harris’ Media Team

For the record, I was in contact with Kamala’s media team for months trying to set up an interview with her or Walz, and they ultimately passed on both of them.

I think my interview with her would have been her biggest interview if I had free reign to do the interview I wanted…

— DJ Vlad (@djvlad) November 7, 2024

This comes as other political, social, and celebrity forces continue to react to the 2024 U.S. presidential election’s outcome. For example, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle recently issued a statement congratulating Donald Trump on his victory and expressing their pride in Kamala Harris’ campaign.

As for the rest of the hip-hop world, many others in addition to DJ Vlad had some strong thoughts on this election. It hasn’t even been 48 hours since the nation learned the results, so people are still gathering themselves and responding accordingly online. It’s a very divisive time, but hopefully one that yields cooperative, respectful, and responsible public service.

Barack Obama Releases Statement On Donald Trump’s Victory In The U.S. Election

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Barack Obama, along with his wife and former First Lady Michelle, released a statement on the United States’ presidential election on Wednesday night (November 6). The 44th president congratulated Donald Trump on his victory as the soon-to-be 47th chief executive of the nation and also offered a message to Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris. The convicted Republican candidate won the popular vote for the first time across his three campaigns for president, and his Democratic opponent spoke to voters on Wednesday. In the Obamas’ statement, they emphasized their will for a peaceful transition of power and their pride in Harris and her running mate Tim Walz’s campaign.

“We want to congratulate President Trump and Senator Vance on their victory,” Barack Obama and his wife Michelle expressed. “This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues. But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transition of power. Michelle and I could not be prouder of Vice President Harris and Governor Walz – two extraordinary public servants who ran a remarkable campaign.”

In addition, Michelle and Barack Obama thanked volunteers and staff who contributed to this election. Then, they spoke on the challenges of the United States over the past several years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuing inflation, “rapid change,” and hopelessness despite hard work. Specifically, the Hawaii native and his wife explained how the U.S. suffered a lack of trust in democratic incumbents that, on a worldwide scale, also received a negative impact based on these circumstances.

Finally, the Obamas affirmed the “good news” that folks can solve these problems through open ears, dialogue, constitutional values, and standards of democracy. Barack Obama wrote that full agreement on every issue is impossible in the diverse and large United States, and that “good faith and grace” even with folks that they staunchly oppose is what will lead to progress. He concluded his message by reflecting on the path forged so far and pointing to a future that builds a “more fair,” “more just, more equal, and more free” nation through this dialogue.

Lil Pump Tweets “F**k” Eminem And Taylor Swift During Election Celebration

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Pump is the MAGA rapper. People like Tom Macdonald and Kid Rock can try all they want, but Pump has really cornered the market on supporting Donald Trump. The rapper has been rocking the red hat since he was accidentally called “Little Pimp” in 2020, and he’s overjoyed with the results of the latest election. Lil Pump posted a video of him celebrating the night of the election. He was obviously happy, but he made sure to throw insults at some of Kamala Harris’ most notable supporters in the process. Because why not?

“F**k Taylor Swift,” he tweeted. “F**k Eminem … This is the best day of my life.” Lil Pump then took aim at the many, many people who knock him for his lack of intelligence. “You might think I’m dumb, but I’m very smart I’mma keep it that way.” The rapper then claimed that he was planning to leave the country if Kamala Harris had managed to secure the electoral college. “Thank God Donald Trump won because if not, I would’ve left the country,” he added. You can scroll through Lil Pump’s Twitter account to get the full breadth of his election day tweets. There’s lots of praise leveled at Trump, and lots of hatred aimed towards anyone who opposed him.

Lil Pump Previously Dissed Slim And Swift On Twitter

Fuck Taylor swift

Fuck Eminem

— Lil Pump (@lilpump) November 6, 2024

Lil Pump has taken issue with Taylor Swift and Eminem in the past. The rapper called out the former when she confirmed that she was endorsing Kamala Harris for president. “Taylor Swift, you have no clue why ur even voting for Kamala,” he tweeted at the pop star. “You said do ur research, clearly you didn’t do ur research. Right after the debate u endorsed her lol Right after she lied many many times!” Pump was similarly outraged when Eminem threw his support behind Harris. The rapper showed up at Harris’ rally in Detroit, and Lil Pump decided to invoke Em’s daughter. “F*ck you and f*ck Hailie,” he said via IG.

Lil Pump’s mouth has always run a mile a minute. He has decided to up this, however, with regards to the election. He praised himself for supporting Donald Trump when he claimed other artists were too scared to do so. “Everybody was so p**sy to endorse Trump, but guess what, I speak what was on my mind and I don’t give a f*ck,” he added. “I told you he was gonna win four years ago you guys looked at me crazy now look this country is gonna be its best.” Time will tell if Pumpernickel gets what he wants.

Cardi B Demands Trump Supporters Leave Her The “F**k Alone”

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There were countless celebrities who endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Eminem, Beyonce and Taylor Swift are some of the most notable. Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla performed in support of Harris at the DNC and a campaign rally, respectively. Regardless, Cardi B is the celebrity who’s come under the most fire. The rapper recently spoke at Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee, and Donald Trump voters have delighted in mocking her ever since it was announced that Trump won the election.

Cardi B issued two responses via social media on November 6. The first was measured, and positive. Cardi praised Kamala Harris for her poise, regardless of the outcome of the election. “To Vice President Kamala,” she wrote on Instagram. “No matter what they’ve said to bring you down or belittle your run for the presidency, they can never say you didn’t run your race with honesty and with integrity.” It was an unexpectedly wholesome take for a rapper known for going nuclear on social media. As the day wore on, however, and people continued to taunt Cardi B, she clapped back.

Cardi B Threatened To “Light Up” Her Detractors

The rapper posted a second video to Twitter. This time, she targeted those who opposed Harris. “Y’all won, I know y’all happy,” she explained. “Ain’t nobody acting like bitter losers.” It was with the word “however,” though, that the Cardi fans know and love came out. “Y’all need to leave me the f*ck alone,” she asserted. “Because I got one more f*cking cigarette in me before I start lighting your a*ses up.” The rapper closed out her statement by extending her warning to anyone and everyone. “That’s word to the motherf*cking United States of America.”

Cardi B has been on the same rollercoaster of emotions that other Harris supporters have been on over the last day. We know because she has documented the entire thing on social media. The rapper stated that the Harris campaign needed a “Hail Mary” when the election started to slip away from them during the evening of Election Day. When it was clear that Trump would be the victor, Cardi B posted a photo of herself looking very distraught. “I hate y’all,” she wrote over the photo. Hopefully the bullying dies down for the rapper as the week unfolds.
