Waka Flocka Flame has openly expressed his support for Trump
Waka Flocka Flame has been a vocal supporter of Trump throughout the years. Last October, he shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, that said: "Trump 2024" and posted a photo of what appears to show the rapper standing next to him.
Florida's Voice, a political news site, is reporting via sources that Trump was invited to Waka Flocka's concert in Miami last month. Earlier this year, in January, the rapper also publicly requested Trump to "abolish" Christopher Columbus Day despite him not being in the White House, according to Vibe Magazine.
SPG reported that in 2021, the Trump administration awarded Waka Flocka a lifetime achievement award for his work with the Chicago-based non-profit Daughter of Destiny.
"Lifetime Achievement Award. I gotta thank my pastor/big sister Apostle Dr. Bridget C. Outlaw for teaching and guiding me on this journey God got us on I’m just honored," he wrote in an Instagram post at the time. "S/O to my president!!!"
Other hip-hop artists supporting Trump
Waka Flocka's comments come as other hip-hop artists have spoken highly of Trump, including Sexyy Red, who said she loved the Republican candidate on a podcast but recently walked back on her comments, saying she's not endorsing anyone. In May, New York rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow attended a Trump rally in the Bronx.
Model Amber Rose has received a wave of backlash after she endorsed the former president on social media. In May, she posted a photo on her Instagram page of her standing with Trump and Melania.
"Trump 2024, ususus," the caption reads.
