As the presidential election draws closer and closer, members of the Hip Hop community are finalizing their picks for the leader of the nation.
Amidst it all, Puff Daddy called Republican nominee Donald Trump “a friend” at a recent appearance at Macy’s flagship store in New York, according to the New York Post.
While promoting his new Sean John cologne, the rap mogul had some words of praise for the businessman-turned-politician.
“I always liked Donald’s style,” Diddy says. “I do have a tie he gifted me. I wear it.”
But Puffy says Trump’s swag hasn’t necessarily won him over when it comes to November 8.
“As far as voting for him, that has yet to be seen,” he says.
Diddy previously expressed cynicism about the political process in 2015, despite once being the founder of the “Vote Or Die” campaign to register voters.
“At the end of the day I’m not telling you not to vote,” he said at a conference in 2015. “But I’m saying be a realist and know that they motherfucking kicking some bullshit up there.”
The latest polls say The Donald lost ground to his opponent, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, after the first debate last week.
Many rappers have bashed Trump for his brash comments and strict positions against immigration.
the real gift was a dildo
What, a celebrity endorsing Trump? It’s about time somebody didn’t get on the bandwagon.
Learn to write the entire article before giving your verdict. He never endorsed him read the entire article please.
i hope u hang by that tie dick diddy
Trumpf really gave Puffy an STD.
MANY rappers have praised Trump or made positive references about him or his companies in many songs.. Now it’s just not “cool” to like him, so Hip-Hop does what it’s done best the past 15 years or so, and it jumped on the anti-Trump bandwagon because that’s what they think they’re “supposed” to do..
This is the same man who told us to vote for Obama with his “Vote or Die” campaign. Remember when Obama the democrat promised the americans some big “Change”? What exactly changed? Billions of taxpayer dollars were shoveled to Israel while the US troops were used for their proxy war in the middle-east, just like what happened with the previous, republican president.
i need euthanasia!!! suicide is good but euthanasia iz much better.
Dibs on your stuff!
He knows DAMN WELL hes voting Trump. Just affraid to say it because its not what ignorant niggas (majority of rappers) want to hear.
He didn’t endorse him but he’s obviously in bed with the scumbag. Any person of color who endorses holding the vote is an idiot.If the black vote didn’t count then why are white people doing everything in their power to keep us from voting. WAKE THE EFF UP, Y’ALL!!
Fruity DUDDY in bed with TRUMP tha CHUMP & sending black people BACKWARDS 200 years with progress, you think it was BAD with OBAMA in office, TRUMP would make your HEAD SPIN & wish idiots like this POISONER of young people with his evil Ciroc would have told the truth about this egomaniac madman!
