Fans had mixed responses to Waka’s revelation. One supporter of Donald Trump wrote back: “Shake off the keyboard warriors. We know who they are and they don’t have the balls to do it face to face. Keep doing what you are doing. There are more of us than there are of them. Believe that!” Another countered: “How much Trump pay you? You’re not voting but want to tell ppl who to vote for? I don’t expect much logic from you though lmao.”

Waka is far from the only celebrity to endorse Donald Trump for President. Others include Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Amber Rose, and Lil Pump. On the other side of the aisle, Kamala Harris has gotten numerous high-profile endorsements in recent weeks as well. Those include Cardi B, Bruce Springsteen, Usher, Lady Gaga, and many more. Even though she can’t vote, Rihanna voiced her support for Harris on Tuesday as well.

by

Rihanna fired back at users on social media upset with her for making a joke about using her son’s US passport to vote on Tuesday. She had shared a picture of herself in a car on Instagram Stories with the caption: “POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport #votecauseicant.” When sharing it again on her main page, she added: “When protecting pussies and firing pussies can happen all in one vote #votecauseicant #TanSuitSeason.”

“Shut up Karen,” she wrote in response to one IG user telling her that “illegal voting is a crime.” To another user, she clapped back: “When yall stop burning ballot boxes come check me.” Replying to another hater, she wrote: “Where were you in Jan 6 sis? Stick to your discounted crotch. We out here fighting for its rights!” As one user attempted to downplay the importance of abortion access, she retorted: “You’re f*cked! And so is the America you dream of. Hope you don’t have to find out the hard way,”

Rihanna is far from the first celebrity to endorse Kamala Harris in recent days. Cardi B made headlines for speaking about her support of the Vice President during a rally in Milwaukee. That move came after she previously refused to endorse the Democratic candidate when Joe Biden was still in the race, a decision she explained at the rally. Other celebrities to endorse Harris include Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and many more.

Benny The Butcher Roasted For Trump 2024 Support

by

Rapper Benny the Butcher is taking some heat for publicly announcing that he’s voting for Donald Trump in the 2024 election. “I’m voting Trump 2024,” Benny said in a tweet on August 12. Despite being under investigation for over 80 felonies, Trump remains far and away the popular candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Despite a crowded field of candidates, no one is even vaguely on the same level as Trump in terms of support. In polling aggregations from RealClearPolitics, Trump leads his closest rival (Florida Governor Ron DeSantis) by 39.1 points.

The Republican Party will hold its first debate on August 23 in Milwaukee. Candidates must have at least 400,000 national financial contributors and be consistently polling at 1% in three national polls or two national polls and a state poll to be eligible. Milwaukee will also host the Republican National Convention next July. However, Benny’s declaration of support for the embattled former President has not gone over well with his fanbase.

Fans Push Back On Benny The Butcher’s Political Support

Safe to say, most fans were not vibing with this political declaration. “The bigot comin’, n*gga,” one commenter wrote, referring to the rapper’s long-standing catchphrase. “Did you consult Jay and the Democratic Party before this?” another asked, referring to Jay-Z’s long-standing support of the Democrats. Meanwhile, several fans were more apathetic. “Just drop the album, we don’t wanna hear this,” one person argued. Many more people pointed out that Trump’s policies were not in the best interest of the Black community. However, of course, there was a small minority of commenters who agreed with the New York rapper’s stance.

However, is this all in vain? As HipHopDX (savagely) pointed out, Benny might not be able to vote. Having been convicted of three felonies in the past, Benny could be ineligible to vote, depending on where he is registered. 24 states have laws governing if and how those convicted of felonies can vote. A further 23 states do not allow the currently incarcerated to vote. Only Maine and Vermont have no voting restrictions when it comes to criminal history.
