It’s no surprise many artists have taken an anti-Trump stance. From Nipsey Hussle and YG’s “FDT (Fuck Donald Trump)” to Snoop Dogg’s controversial scene in BADBADNOTGOOD’s “Lavender” video, there’s no shortage of anti-Trump rhetoric floating around in the Hip Hop sphere.
Add Ice-T to the list of those who have taken an anti-Trump stand. When Keith Buckley — frontman of metal band Every Time I Die — dismissed a fan on social media criticizing his anti-Trump statements, Body Count’s de facto leader backed him up.
“Keith has the right attitude about fans…I love you all,” he wrote via Twitter on Tuesday (August 7). “But if you ever have a problem with me..Please feel free to leave.”
Buckley was originally responding to a fan who wrote, “I used to really be into etid but your anti trump snot nose rhetoric has really turned me off… thanks for alienating half your fan base dick.”
The Every Time I Die singer responded, “adios bitch!” and followed up with, “we don’t need or even want your money. take a hike.”
In an interview with HipHopDX, Ice T addressed his views on America’s divide, which has seemingly grown worse since Trump’s 2016 election.
“Their biggest fear is when we get on the same side of something,” he said last February. “They want to keep dividing us — black against the whites, woman against men. They don’t want people to line up and realize we’re all pretty much mad at the same shit.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Ice T is that dude!!!
THIS IS A ROCK N ROLL TAKEOVER, LIVING EACH DAY 1 NIGHT AT A TIME!!
The same people bitching about the divide say this kind of shit, I cant help but laugh
Your. Right all I love ice but hes doing his own dividing.
“Please feel free to leave”, yep, REAL divisive. How can one get more polite?
That last quote is real as shit.
Some of these guys are using the hate Trump platform to get attenton. I never heard of Keith Buckley or his band before. Metal fans are patriotic!!!
WTF are you talking about?!?! Metal and rap are usually both anti-establishment – and REALLY anti-conservitards.
If you’re never heard of Keith Buckley or Everytime I Die, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Furthermore, their genre of metal is called metalcore, which has strong punk hardcore roots. Hence the anti-Trump views.
I was following Ice because I’m a fan. But it’s just sheep trump hate on repeat. It got boring.
You think the media hates trump? You think trump hates the media just because he said that to promote himself on the media? On the ice t and metal band front how is it divisive to not welcome people who don’t allow opinions when someone disagrees, i dislike trump but i don’t dislike EVERYONE who likes him, doesn’t get more divisive than FORCING your opinion on everybody, YOU ARE THE MEDIA
