As Donald Trump lobbies for the Black vote, he got a co-sign from Don King at a recent appearance at a church in Cleveland.
King is making headlines for slipping in his speech and saying the N-word while introducing the Republican presidential candidate, much to the amusement of the mostly white crowd sitting behind him.
T.I. went right to Instagram to slam the infamous boxing promoter for his political stance, calling him all types of names.
King joins Ben Carson and former “Apprentice”star Omarosa Manigault as the (few) faces of the black community supporting Trump. The former boxing promoter served prison time in the 1960s after being convicted of “nonnegligent manslaughter” in the killing of a man who owed him $600, and was pardoned by the governor of Ohio nearly 20 years later. He was integral in the careers of Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather and is often used as the poster boy for corruption of the boxing industry.

Besides the question marks on King’s resume, T.I. has been vocal about his dislike for The Donald at least since March when he directly addressed the entrepreneur in an Instagram video. He has since warned that if Trump gets elected, it’s “chains and shackles, up next.”
Plenty of other Hip Hop voices chimed in blasting Don King for his shenanigans.
Oh, and in case you missed it, 50 Cent made his anti-Trump sentiments very clear today as well.
