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

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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 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

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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

I’m glad the election over the brainwash was turned up on max!

— MeekMill (@MeekMill) November 6, 2024

They about to break the matrix lol

— MeekMill (@MeekMill) November 6, 2024

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.

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.

Azealia Banks Admits She Actually Voted For Donald Trump After Initial Kamala Harris Support

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Azealia Banks claims she actually voted for Donald Trump despite going on a lengthy rant about how she’s supporting Kamala Harris on Election Day. She shared a picture of what appears to be her ballot with Trump’s name selected on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning. 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. You have to be a complete idiot to think that dirtbag cares about anyone or anything other than himself,” Banks wrote in the lengthy rant on X.

“He’s already been given way too much tax payer money – Allowing him to ascend to any position of political authority is very f–king dangerous,” she continued. “One does not become the richest man in the world because of honesty and good character lol, you must be an expert liar, thief and cheater to become that.” Trump ended up winning the election handily, declaring victory around 2:30 AM, EST on Wednesday morning. As for this afternoon, he’s already at 277 electoral college votes.

Cardi B Backtracks After Blaming Some States’ Hurricanes On Donald Trump Support

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Donald Trump declared victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, which has sparked mixed reactions from social media users and celebrities. While some are celebrating, others are crushed, including Cardi B. The “Enough” rapper has been a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris ever since Joe Biden dropped out of the race. She even spoke at her rally in Milwaukee last week, revealing that she didn’t plan to vote until Harris was on the Democratic ticket. Needless to say, she’s disappointed with the results.

As the number started to lean in Trump’s favor last night, she took to X with a simple message. “We need a Hail Mary,” she wrote. She went on to post a selfie on her Instagram Story with the caption “I hate y’all bad.” Clearly, she wasn’t happy with how things were looking.

Cardi B Continues To Support Kamala Harris

This was far from all Cardi had to say about the election results, however. In a now-deleted video, she also suggested that some states might experience hurricanes as a result of their Trump support. “This is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes,” she said. It remains unclear exactly why Cardi decided to delete the video. It’s possible she was receiving backlash for it, or thought she had taken her shade a bit too far.

Her remark comes just days after she shut down a Tweet from Elon Musk, who called her a “puppet” for speaking at Harris’ rally. “I’m not a puppet Elon,” she wrote at the time, “I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their a** off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you.” What do you think of Cardi B insinuating that some states experience hurricanes due to their support for Donald Trump? Was this a step too far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
