Lil Wayne pledged his allegiance to Donald Trump with a Twitter post last month, posing for a photo with the soon-to-be former president at the White House.
He wrote in the caption, “Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus. besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done.”
Needless to say, Wayne’s sentiments promptly caught the attention of the rap community and he was both dragged and applauded for hopping on the Trump train. But for those thinking it was simply a one-time stunt, think again.
On the recently released No Ceilings 3 mixtape, Weezy raps about his devotion to Trump on the track “Life Is Good.”
“Working out my demons, that’s beautiful,” he spits. “And bae off of that riesling, she super loose/I smoke it, she say pass it, she doing too much/Haven’t done my taxes, fucking with Trump.”
50 Cent was initially among the small list of rappers who publicly endorsed Trump but pulled back his support once his ex-girlfriend/comedian Chelsea Handler shamed him on Twitter and enticed him with “another round” in bed if he’d publicly denounce Trump — which he ultimately did.
50 Cent Turned Down A Hefty $1M For Donald Trump Allegiance
Following Wayne’s endorsement, the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ legend couldn’t pass up an opportunity to clown Wayne.
“Oh no Wayne,” he wrote on Instagram at the time. “I WOULD HAVE NEVER TOOK THIS PICTURE.” He later antagonized Wayne further after the Cash Money rap star was charged with a felony for weapon possession, posting, “Wait a minute Trump still got 63 days left, call him wayne. get that fool on the phone. they gonna try to put you in jail for supporting trump.”
He’s finished. Feds got him by the balls, it’s obvious. He’s the Frank Pentangeli of rap.
An endorsement or expressing support is not the same as ‘pledging allegiance’ to somebody. Pledging allegiance means you will stand by that person (or company or country) as a subordinate no matter what they do. Wayne made it sound like Trump had to fulfill the platinum plan to retain his support. And name dropping Trump in a song is not doubling down on this supposed “allegiance”, it’s not even newsworthy (but it’s not lost on me that the reason this website keeps running Trump stories is because people like me reflexively click on them and leave comments).
Lil’ Wayne still raps? Who knew?
I knew.
I think you’re the only one who didn’t know.
Your guy lost Weezy. Now get ready to pay some higher taxes with that stripper money you be blowing. I dont give a shit. I dont make over $400,000 a year so a Biden tax plan wont affect my lifestyle or anybody I know. Youre endorsement made me wanna vote for Biden even more. How is your taxes my problem ?
Look up Obama lied about tax raises on google. You’ll find plenty of proof that Obama said the same thing but because of policies prices for Americans still were raised on their checks.
We’re still paying for a war and crumbling infrastructure. Taxes suck but are necessary.
They didn’t meet at the White House either. It was in Florida.
A White girl gets to override a Black man’s opinion & control his thoughts, but Yrump is the racist. These folks wild.
What are you talking about?
nobody loves trump, it seems. he didn’t win but he still got quite a few votes you can’t take that away from him. good on you lil’wayne to not be afraid to be yourself.
Glad I never liked one single song of this f@ckstick. What a traitor.
Unironically saying fuckstick ?
