Donald Trump has defeated Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, prompting varying reactions from the Hip Hop community which featured prominently in the race.
Trump was officially elected president for the second time on Wednesday (November 6) after winning the necessary 270 electoral college votes required to win the White House.
The controversial Republican has secured 276 electoral votes to Harris’ 223 as of this writing, per CNN, emerging victorious in key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina.
Unlike his 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton and failed campaign against Joe Biden in 2020, Trump has also won the popular vote having received over 71 million votes and counting.
In another blow to Democrats, Republicans have reclaimed control of the Senate for the first time in four years and are also poised to win the House of Representatives.
In a victory speech at his headquarters in Florida, Trump said: “I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that your children deserve.”
The newly-minted 47th president also described the result as a “magnificent victory for the American people” and promised that his second term in office will be “the golden age of America.”
After Trump’s victory was made official, and as it looked inevitable in the hours leading up to it, the likes of 50 Cent, Cardi B and Public Enemy’s Chuck D took to social media to react to the news.
50, who had expressed support for Trump during the race despite turning down a lucrative offer to perform at one of his rallies, congratulated the former Apprentice star on his historic return to the Oval Office.
“I don’t care how the fight goes, I’m leaving with the winner shit,” he wrote on Instagram alongside photos of them together at a black tie event. “I still don’t know what’s going on [facepalm emoji] congratulations!”
Harris supporter Cardi unsurprisingly did not share 50’s enthusiasm, writing on her Instagram Stories: “I hate yall bad.”
She also posted a video in which she said: “This is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes. That’s all I’ma say,” referencing the recent storms that have ravaged Southern states like Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

Also dismayed at the election result, Chuck D wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Don’t Let A Win go to your head or a loss get to your heart. A ‘L’ He Got Game fuckin again. The NYC hustler Gamed them again. Well its time for myself to work head forward as a 2nd class citizen. Good luck ill be watching it all with a Pen and a Pad USA.”
The politically-minded rap pioneer further took aim at Trump by uploading a sketch of the soon-to-be-president and writing: “One thing we do know is that it wont be a goon gathering this coming January. It will be a concession without the bullsht.”
Elsewhere, Joe Budden joked prior to Trump’s victory: “If Trump win I’m egging cyber trucks,” referencing Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s huge financial backing of the Republican.
Don’t Let A Win go to your head or a loss get to your heart. A ‘L’

Lil Pump, one of Trump’s biggest supporters within the rap game, celebrated the result by hitting out at his detractors, including his Hip Hop peers who endorsed Harris.
“All these rappers that got paid to endorse Kamal[a] Harris you’re fucking losers you can’t pay me to endorse Donald Trump. I stand on what’s right,” he tweeted.
He then took aim at two Harris-supporting superstars in particular, writing: “Fuck Eminem” and “Fuck Taylor Swift.”
The “Gucci Gang” hitmaker continued: “God bless Donald Trump. Gas is gonna be cheaper. Taxes is gonna be lower and life is gonna be great. This is the best day of my life.”

So keep being butt hurt and crying cuz Kendrick’s the best and yours is not
America continues to provide the world first class entertainment. Take pride in that.
Chuck D saying “it won’t be a goon gathering” because Kamala will concede… hasn’t this election shown anything odd to anyone? Kamala has 15 million LESS votes than Biden, and Trump is performing equal to a bit better in some select areas. Tell me, how is it biden got 81 milliom votes and Kamala is at 66 million? Yeah. It seems it is proving many if us were right to be skeptical about Biden being the most popular candidate in American history.
America sucked dick the last 4 years. Glad America is going to be prosperous again. H8rs can fuck off.
ngl I voted democrat last time , but trump the og, he rly for the ppl , the news b lying too much
Cardi B is the dumbest human to ever be quoted. Regardless of anyone’s political views. She represents only idiots.
For real.
And that’s the reason why bum azz irrelevant R3tardi B is the embarrassing, non-credible, pathetic, laughable, corny, cringy, fraudulent, wannabe, garb@ge, r3tarded Dunc3capD/X SHlT staff’s idol.
@Truth Teller 😭💯🎯🙌 No lies detected
there is a theory that the religious right will rise up with millions and millions of votes for the right wing like a massive revolutionary act for god
Imagine being as successful as Chuck D and still thinking you’re a “second class citizen”. Victimhood is like a currency. When that happens you’re going to have counterfeiters. Then you got low IQ Cardi B still opening her mouth to show how proud of her ignorance she is. The meltdowns are going to continue to be as great as this country will be again. The American people said no to 4 more years of cackling, word salad, and abject incompetence.
All black people and minorities are second class citizens in the United States and they’re not playing victims it’s the truth. You never seen fairness or equality in the United States because it still biased towards white people and for white people. It shows your white and you don’t know what you’re talking about and you know nothing about what black people go through or minorities go through in this country
Man you bums need to leave this mentality.. it’s embarrassing to see esp coming from grown men. Y’all are legit losers lmaooo
@Cry It doesn’t prove anything about my skin color. It does show how immature you are. People are just supposed to vote for Kamala cause she may be “half black”. What a joke. Please, by all means. Cry. More. I’m enjoying these irrational and emotional reactions. Quick update. GOP is looking to get a slight majority in the house. Have great rest of your evening. This was a long time coming and the Libs have no one to blame but themselves and their awful policies. This was a complete rejection of the liberalism. No one likes it.
“Oh no! We suck again!”
The GOAT the most GARBAGE OF ALL TlME Bernadett Giacumazzo (“BGiacomazz74649” on X for those who wanna trash and laugh at her the way everyone else does) gave Trump a rlm job to congratulate him on his win. It’s the ONLY action the broke bum ass blogging freeIancer Bernadett Giacumazzo as ever had in her useIess pathetic 47 year old worthless existence.
The certified cornball, culture vulture and h0 m0 Andy Fuktard Bustard is a Britlsh B0 z0 who doesn’t even live in the USA. Get a real J0B Andy you’re a whole wannabe and a total waste of space. You’re a fraud with ZER0 credibility. NOBODY believes you, you need a billion more people.
Hilarious watching the reaction of all these pathetic losers devastated that trump not only won but completley wiped the floor with them lmao only fools and idiots voted for word salad harris
Know what’s more sad? Liking your own comment on a hip hop site
Cry harder loser 😭
As a non-American I’m a bit happy about the situation. I hate the right wing but with the lack of support the war in Ukraine might end soon. (Btw Kamala is also a right wing politician, so)
People are sick and tired of being told what to think. Policy is the only legit reason to vote for someone. I won’t vote based on colour or gender. Neither one helps you or family unless they have good policy. It’s that simple.
Fcuk them.
Even though Trump won, his supporters will still be combative, angry and look for the next thing to blame.
”Thats all im gonna say”
No brain bird that’s not all you gonna say. You post at least 10 times a day with the same shitty brainless dumbass take. We all know you gonna harass us with the same old vomit take. You’ve been doing it for 7 years now.
Your biggest hit is you rolling on a bed talking about ”wet ass pussy” and now you’re the voice of the people?
Lmao get lost brain bird girl. How can y’all like that kind of girl she’s so fking disgusting.
Isn’t she still with Offset? I would be so embarassed if I was him. Damn that girl is so fucking dumb.
I don’t care what celebs think.
I voted Harris bc I want federal government to have more power over the people. I also love CIA & FBI & endless wars Harris will provoke & start. Also I like DA’s that keep people i jail past their release dates for their slave labor
