Lil Pump Continued To Show His Support For Trump With A Cringey Thigh Tattoo Of His Mugshot Photo
Rapper Lil Pump is continuing to demonstrate his support for former US president Donald Trump. And it looks like it’s permanent. Today (January 30), the “Gucci Gang” rapper took to Instagram to share a photo featuring a new tattoo.
In the picture, Pump is seen in the mirror, revealing a tattoo of Trump on his thigh. Specifically, the likeness of Trump was recreated from his mugshot photo, which was taken last year after he was indicted on racketeering charges.
This new mirror selfie doesn’t appear to be a troll from the controversial rapper. Another photo on Pump’s page, shared six weeks ago, but pinned to Pump’s profile, features Pump standing next to Trump. In the post’s caption, Pump refers to Trump as the “Greatest president of all time.”
Pump first vocalized his support for Trump back in October of 2020, when he shared a video to social media slamming Biden’s tax policy. He verbalized his stance, saying “Trump 2020, b*tch.”
Shortly after the 2020 presidential election, Pump released a pro-Trump track called “Lil Pimp Big MAGA Steppin.”
But despite his outspokenness in his support for Trump, Pump actually reportedly hadn’t registered to vote in the 2020 election.

Ice Spice Revealed Her Upcoming Debut Album Is Called ‘Y2K’ And That It Arrives ‘This Year’
Last week, Ice Spice ended her brief musical hiatus with her new single, “Think U The Sh*t (Fart).” The song came just over a year after the New York City rapper‘s debut EP, Like…?. With a new single out, Ice’s fans, known as the munchkins, are anticipating her full-length debut album.
Today (January 30), during an interview on Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager’s hour of Today, Ice shared a few details of her upcoming album.
When asked if she had an album on the way, Ice responded “Yes, there’s gonna be an album.” She continued, revealing that the album would arrive “this year.”
“I’m so excited,” Ice said. “It’s called Y2K.”
The album’s title seemingly alludes to her birthday — January 1, 2000, which was also the New Year’s Day that coincided with the theory of a Y2K virus crashing all computers and electronic devices at the time.
Though Ice didn’t reveal an exact release date for Y2K, she shared that the album is “almost finished.” She also held back details of the album’s collaborators, but teased one that she is very happy about.
“I have a crazy collaboration that just got locked in, like two days ago,” Ice said.

Nicki Minaj Fans Have Reportedly Been Threatening The Cemetery Where Megan Thee Stallion’s Mother Is Interred
The ongoing feud between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Though Meg herself hasn’t directly commented on the matter, nor called Minaj out by name, Minaj and her fans believed certain parts of Meg’s latest single, “Hiss” were aimed at her. Over the weekend, Minaj responded to “Hiss” with a Megan-aimed diss track called “Big Foot.” All the while, the Barbz have reportedly been trolling Twitter users decrying Minaj, and have been said to be doxxing fans and collaborators of Meg.
As a result, the Houston police department and local authorities have reportedly gotten involved in the matter. Over the weekend, the address of the gravesite of Megan’s mother, Holly Thomas — who died of brain cancer in 2019 — was shared online. TMZ reported that Houston authorities have amped up security after Barbz had reportedly threatened to deface the gravesite.
The publication notes that security “will continue to monitor the situation as they take all matters regarding safety and security seriously.”
At the time of writing, no incidents have been reported at the gravesite, however, the cemetery reportedly remains on “high alert.”
Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

“Yeah. Soon, soon,” SZA said in response to the question. “It’s in the works.”
@applemusic #SZA is here to answer your burning questions.

SZA did not indicate if the collab would appear on her upcoming album, Lana, however, she did share that “the era” of her sophomore album SOS is “over.”
“The era, for me, is before the album comes out,” says SZA. “That era of my life is over. This version — I don’t know. That story is still writing itself.”
As fans know, SZA’s pen game never disappoints. So what ever other stories she has in the works, we can’t wait to hear.
