Too $hort is doing some damage control after a White House press release was sent out suggesting he was in cahoots with Donald Trump.
According to TMZ, a press release was sent out on Monday (November 2) about Trump’s plan to invite a “prominent group of African-American actors and entertainers” to the White House in December to discuss issues facing the Black community and his proposed Platinum Plan.
The meeting would include stars from the seemingly pro-Trump documentary Trump vs. Hollywood, including Bun B, Lil Jon, Eric B., Money-B, actor Isaiah Washington and director Daphne Barak. Other names on the list included Too $hort, Real Housewives of Atlanta personality Claudia Jordan, Kid Rock, Dean Cain and Scott Baio.
But as Short Dawg explains, Barak simply asked him to do an interview for the film and claimed it was to illustrate both sides of the political coin. Short made it abundantly clear he was in no way voting for Trump — despite their attempts at swaying him to the Republican side.
“I know the source of it and on the other side it, I was asked to do an interview,” he said in the clip. “That was it. I wasn’t asked to go to a dinner. I wasn’t invited to a dinner, I wasn’t anything. I didn’t tell anybody anywhere on planet Earth that I support Donald Trump as a candidate. I’m getting to vote right now and I promise you, I’m not voting for Donald Trump.
Rich The Kid Reportedly Declines Donald Trump’s Offer To Join Lil Pump As Campaign Advocate
Over the last few weeks, the Bay Area Hip Hop legend says Trump’s team has offered him a private jet to fly to meet Trump, echoing Rich The Kid’s recent claims.
“I was also asked to fly to D.C. to, I guess, meet Donald Trump. I was also asked to jump on a phone and talk to somebody or Trump. I said, ‘I’m not doing this.’ No, I don’t want to fly to D.C. No, I don’t want to jump on a phone call. I don’t want to be used as an endorsement. You shake his hand and they go, ‘Oh you endorsed him.’ I don’t want to be a part of that during this election process.”
He added, “Anybody who’s taking this moment as a photo opp, as an opportunity to go viral to be like relevant for a day, I can’t respect that … it’s not a good year for that. It’s not a good time to be insincere with your actions.”

Who the fuck cares vote for who you want…bunch of bots on the same programming. Never seen so much enslaved individuals in my life
The legend Too Short is free to have interviews and meet with whoever he wishes to engage with. Even if he wanted to meet, shake hands and vote for Trump, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. America is a free country. He’s free to exercise his rights and freedoms and NO-ONE is licensed to persecute him unless he’s broken the law. It should also be known that he can opt to keep his vote a secret if he so wished. The reason why his clarification of fact is now being referred to as “damage control” needs to be spelt out. If anything, it’s clear under the circumstances that there should’ve been a more responsible choice of words in covering the topic in order not infringe on Short’s democratic rights as a private citizen.
You write the same drivel each and every ‘political’ post. It’s so funny. How much do you get paid to do this? In rubles…
Everything’s a cheque with you huh!?! I can’t even imagine the stuff you’ve done behind that keyboard just to feed those strange habits of yours. But hey, who am I to blame you? I can’t help the fact that you probably got it from your mother. Yet here you are asking me about how much I get paid? There’s more to life than money fam, I can tell you that.
It’s quite impressive that you’re doing this work for free. I really commend you /s… but YOU as a foreigner trying to tell US Americans what we should and shouldn’t accept in our government just goes to show that your intent is to fulfill your duty of using social media/forums to sew discord. We don’t use the spelling cheque when referring to checks. You outed yourself. Keep doing you though I’m sure your handlers in the kremlin appreciate your work.
LMAO!! You’re hilarious! To hell with being a narcassistic keyboard warrior, comedy should really be your day job! But seriously, I do hope for your sake that you don’t always develop conspiracy theories everytime you’re faced with the truth or people have differences with you. That might take a while for people like you to accept but eventually it will sink in. In the mean time, I just want to remind you of one fact, it was YOU who hopped into my comment to insult me instead of making your own separate comment much the same as someone who has something meaningful to contribute to the discussion.
Check > Cheque ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!! It’s been great my fellow human being. Dasfidanya!
Sure has my fellow citizen!LMAO!! “Check or Cheque”, it don’t stop you and your mom from doing anything to get it! Ciao!
You have quite the fascination with my mother. I’m so sorry yours is not around. What a horrible story of her gulag experience. I understand your desperation. I’ll still be coming for you. I won’t be changing my name on every article like you do. See you later alligator.
$hort and Senator Harris actually go way back. He might have fucked. I mean it’s possible since they’re about the same age.
