Following the deadly violence that went down in Charlottesville, Virginia during a white supremacist rally over the weekend, Donald Trump has held three press conferences where he first denounced violence “on many sides,” then called racism “evil” while condemning white nationalists, and then went back to blaming “both sides” for the incident a day later.
This has infuriated and disgusted countless people, including T.I., who believes Trump is being ordered around by his white supremacists “homeboys.”
“Exactly what I expect from a sucka,” T.I. told TMZ while boarding a plane at LAX. “Cowards throw rocks and hide their head, so earlier they apply pressure and made him denounce his white supremacist homeboys, his neo-Nazi partners, and after bipartisan pressure, he denounced them, but I’m sure there was a phone call from a David Duke, ‘What the fuck you think you’re doing? This is not what we elected you for.’ Then he had to come back and reverse. Fuck him man, to the fullest. He’s a sucka. Fuck him. Fuck them.
“We can love people who don’t hate,” he added. “You can’t love people who have hearts full of hate. Fuck ’em all.”
Tip wasn’t the only member of the Hip Hop community speaking out against Trump and condemning white supremacists.
Killer Mike offered his own thoughts on the matter via Instagram while touching on the recent arrest of Takiyah Thompson, the Workers World Party activist who pulled down a Confederate statue in Durham, North Carolina earlier this week.
“Can someone please inform the casino owner masquerading as the United States president that although he’s totally correct in Jefferson and Washington, and many of the other notables and presidents of this country being slave owners, absolutely correct about that — it doesn’t equate to keeping a confederate general statue up because they were an oppositional force to this union.
“I just don’t want to look that fucking stupid to the rest of the world,” he added. “So please stop saying that stupid shit.”
He captioned the video with, “With all due respect Mr. POTUS (and u lame duck muthafuckers that game him the bullshit half ass slaves excuse for the confederate statute support) From your humble constituent. Please watch and swipe. let’s Keep the country Great and never honor an enemy we defeated. That’s weak shit. Salutes, sir. Be well.”
Questlove, Chris Rock, A-Trak, John Legend, El-P, Sage Francis, Dam Funk, Talib Kweli, Blockhead, LeBron James, and countless others have also taken to social media to chime in on the situation.
Questlove said, “It’s time to go,” while El-P echoed those sentiments, writing, “Nothing clever left to say. time for this guy to be forced out of office.”

Reason #56970 on why Killer Mike is a dumbass.
Trump getting elected was all Bernie Sanders’ fault.
Stop it. You know nothing Jon Snow. You suggest we stick to the two party system that caused this? Silly. Look at other countries elections. France and other nations maintain more than 8 candidates all the way till the end! Theres no elimination round like there is here. Bigger picture. There are OTHER ways to do this than we are doing. The solution is NOT to limit our choices. The solution is to educate people that we can do better than focusing on only 2 teams like its a friggin football game. This AINT football. But you know, Americans love their “rah rah my team vs your team” philosophy.
Nice comments for someone who has Ross Perot Syndrome.

those alt right motherfuckers are out of touch. the other protesters should have let law enforcement handle it though
All these rappers that talk about drugs and guns and bitches are so quick to blame Trump. Srry but this shit has been going on long b4 him.
Who do you think taught us how to do that from the get? Ourselves? Hell no.
You separate men from boys with personal responsibility.
Fuck the cops and fuck Donald trump
These political twitter rappers make me cringe.
Donald Trump is the first BLACK PRESIDENT! DONALD TRUMP IS HIP HOP!
The only colour he cares about IS GREEN!
BALLERS APPRECIATE DONALD AND DONALD APPRECIATES BALLERS!
FIX YOUR BANK BALANCE YOU CUCKS!!!
“Cowards throw rocks and hide their head” TI’s talking about Antifa, right? Because that’s what Antifa does… GTFOH
Dont be a hypocrite. Rappers are racist and anti white but that’s ok?
No they are not you pathological, whining little liar.
White lives don’t matter! We will replace you!
100 people actually read this article?
Killer Mike knew damn well that Bernie wasn’t going to get that nomination and now he’s still salty that he didn’t make the ticket. Plus, he(Killer Mike) ended up being one of the main reasons why Trump currently is in office. Just think about it, If Bernie didn’t run, there wouldn’t have been any animosity towards Clinton. The Re-Thugs played that shit perfectly, the votes ended up getting split, and Killer Mike’s dumb ass fell for it.
With that said, Trump needs to go. He already exposed himself who he was when he was running for Office. Now that he’s in Office, people just not now got the memo. Dude is a hard-core racist that needs to be removed from office quick and fast!!!!!!!!!
Stop trying to blame people who voted for other candidates as the reason Trump is in office. You vote for who you want. That’s democracy. the Truth is, and is being revealed, that Trump campaign was the beneficiary of a targeted propaganda against Clinton. Evidence is pointing to collusion with foreign govt’s. Trump appealed to a large portion of the nation that fears non-whites. Thats it! THATS the reason he is here. Not because Sanders or any other candidate. Your logic suggest we stick to the two party system that has plagued this country for centuries? Bigger picture, guy. we NEED more candidates. We NEED people to vote beyond the big two. its the ONLY way things will change.
That third party crap was designed to rob votes. In this case, it robs votes for the Democrats. We The People fall for it every time.
What evidence of collusion do you speak of?
If 10 guys think it’s ok to hang out with 1 criminal then they just became 11 criminals. All criminals are the same. Fuck criminals!
You just shit on the entire hip hop community.
Conservative unity is white supremacy. Let us tear down any monument that reminds us about democrats fighting to keep slavery legal and give all minorities reparations because white people are evil.
Maybe, just maybe more people should consider voting during midterm elections. Maybe more people should vote even when their favorite candidate isn’t on the ticket. Maybe not voting because you can’t get excited about a candidate the way you did eight years ago is too risky. Maybe voting is something EVERYBODY should do EVERY time they have the opportunity. Just saying….
Robert De’ Niro said it best Trump is a coward and a racist , A National embarrassment
lol the robert deniro video what a lunatic, how dare trump condemn all hate and violence, these snowflakes have nothing better to do than complain about this, mental illness has taken over hollywood and the recording industry
Most rappers pretend to be against racism.
And then you have violent racist criminals like T.I. speaking out against Trump condemning all hate….
