Twitterverse

It goes without saying that countless political pundits, journalists and publications didn’t see the reality in a Donald Trump presidency but here American stands with said reality.

It was an election that faced several controversies but still attracted those magical 270 Electoral College votes to ensure a Republican victory. Yet and still, several Hip Hop superstars couldn’t contain their astonishment as the numbers rolled in.

Diddy, foreseeing what was to come, posted a meme on his Instagram that read “Keep Calm: No matter who is president, Jesus is king.” David Banner undertook a similar sentiment, telling his Twitter followers not to “freak out” all the same.

Naturally, there was also defiance across the board. YG, who has been campaigning all year with his single “FDT (Fuck Donald Trump),” promised to keep the middle fingers high and Public Enemy’s Chuck D fired up his social media with his traditional fevered persona.

Check out the numerous reactions down below from numerous people you definitely heard of. And nope, they’re not pretty

Money and entertainment rules America! That's a fact!

I am disappointed, shocked and shaken at my core by what has transpired tonight. I gathered around the TV with my family and loved ones, ready to celebrate history being made. My daughter had this little blue dress on. I was ready to pop the Martinelli's and hold her, watching Hilary Clinton become the first female president of the United States of America. But…It didn't happen. I had a sick feeling in my gut, riddled with anxiety as the polls started coming in. After hours of a growing pit in my stomach, it was over. I left the TV, grabbed my daughter and took her to bed. But now, as I'm laying next to my her as she sleeps, I remember. Remember what I have control over and what I don't. I don't have control over Donald Trump becoming president. That has been decided. But what I do have control over is where I go from here. I will teach my daughter to love. All people, regardless of the color of their skin, gender, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or where their birth certificate says they're from. I will teach her how important it is to be an advocate for humanity. Not just the portion of humanity that benefits her. I will teach her non violent communication. That in the face of hatred we must love each other even harder. Not give in. Not get discouraged or feel like our progress in the past is void. Keeping fighting for all of us, with an emphasis on those that and have been the most affected by systemic oppression. I will teach her that when she is silent during moments of injustice, she is siding with the oppressor. I will teach her that walls divide people, and by their nature cannot bring us closer. And that just because someone holds the most powerful position in the world, does not make that person right, just or fair. Donald Trump is not raising my daughter. I am. I get to encourage and nurture her to be who she wants to be. Teach her that her voice and actions can change the world. Teach her that she can do anything that a man can do. And one day, even become president of the United States of America. I have work to do. It starts now. And that work is the only thing bringing me peace at the moment
