Jim Jones isn’t mad at his rap peers who are heading to the White House to visit Donald Trump – though that doesn’t mean he necessarily endorses the controversial president.
TMZ caught up with the Dipset rapper in New York City on Thursday (February 20), and asked him his thoughts on people like Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Boosie Badazz and more being involved in White House events in recent weeks.
While the artists have gotten pushback from the Black community for supporting Trump, Capo feels like it’s bigger than the person in office.
“I’ma take it to the days where I knew the president is the president and we wasn’t allowed to get to the White House,” he told the outlet. “And anything to be next to the White House used to be a great thing to do because you’re now talking to the president or you’re performing for the president. The president is still the president. It’s a race. Somebody lost the race, somebody won the race.
“So what do they expect us to do? Disrespect the president because that person didn’t win? No. He’s still the president of the United States so we still have to show that much respect to the president of the United States. That’s how I feel about it. And I’m not political and shit like that. I didn’t vote for anybody, you heard? If I was to get an invitation – no matter who was in the office, nine times out of 10 I think I’ma pop out to go to the White House.”
He concluded: “I’m a kid from the projects that we known the president to be the ruler of the world when we was coming up and we seen people go crazy just to have [an invite]. So I want my chance to be at the White House too, see what’s going on. That’s how I feel. Don’t crucify me for just give you my honest opinion.
Despite their dismantling of DEI programs across the country, Trump and his administration held a Black History Month event on Thursday (February 20), where Boosie, Kodak Black and Rod Wave were reportedly among those in attendance.
Kodak’s attendance was later confirmed in a post from the White House, who shared a picture of the rapper and captioned it, “@KodakBlack in the People’s House.”
Boosie also confirmed his attendance with a few posts from the meeting, including an Instagram Story he captioned, “Just looking for justice.”
Just last month, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross and Soulja Boy all performed at the first ever Crypto Ball, which was a party thrown to welcome the incoming Trump administration. Days later, Nelly performed at his inauguration.
Boosie’s inclusion comes as little surprise as the rapper has been pleading for a pardon from Trump on his gun case for months.
Kodak has also been a supporter for years after Trump commuted his three-year prison sentence for falsifying documents to buy guns on his way out of the White House in 2021.
And you’ve earned a long awaited 🚿💧🧼🫧 🛁, you smelly bastard.
Shower up…
Another one of my African Americans. My field n***s.
Dude is like what are we supposed to do, disrespect the President. Yeah, fuck boy. That’s exactly what rappers used to do when they knew they were wrong. Matter of fact, it was corny to even be fucking with a President since they represent white oppression in this country on a macro level. Now, these bitches sitting around like some hoes with their shirts tucked in for a white supremacist. But you think these dudes wouldn’t suck a dick or bend it over for these record label people to get on.
If it was Kamala, Biden, or Obama. You wouldn’t be saying any of this. It comes off as disingenuous. White oppression at a “macro level.” I laughed when I read that. It’s funny that there are people like you who believe this. No one really believes Donald Trump is a white supremacist. The media who push it doesn’t even believe it. Just keep it up. The Democrat party learned nothing and still think they are the majority. No one likes this race based shit. That’s part of why the democrats lost. Other than the “gender” nonsense.
You’re an idiot if you think no one n believes he’s a white supremest. Just in my personal life I know a few hand fulls(and I live in a red state now) so I’m guessing that’s there’s probably A LOT more people who think the same thing
Pac said fuck Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. Yeah, I would. Just because your hoe ass wouldn’t doesn’t blame me. You’d probably suck a dick for a record deal too. Hoe ass coming in here talking about Some Democrat shit like a bitch. Rap game didn’t fuck with politicians period, but shit changed when these dudes got folded into white corporate America just like everything else. Corny mofos talking about busting guns and fucking hoes but got their shirts tucked in and glasses on like Poindexter for politicians.
This dumb fuck said nobody believes he’s a white supremacist when dude gave a speech about giving white people reparations and his bimbo press secretary that he hand picked brought up race for the DC plane and helicopter crash when everybody involved was white. The American government that sanctioned slavery and legal oppression of black people for a another hundred years afterward doesn’t represent white supremacy. Hahahah. It’s okay Tanner that you’re racist, just know I’d beat the shit out of you if you said that bitch shit in my presence, which you are well aware of and why you do it on the internet.
@Loud Ooh we got an internet tough guy. That’s scary. Bet you’re going to tell me what your hood you’re from too? We can do this made up situation in your head cause it makes you feel better. Really showing some fatherless behavior. Let’s get down to brass tacks. Bringing up the past over and over again doesn’t make it the present. Slavery was abolished. Our country fought a bloody civil war to end it. When it comes to Trump being a supposed white supremacist. Sure, you can know people who think that. Doesn’t mean they believe it. Look at the voters. I’d say it was a diverse coalition. Democrats lost a lot of their voters due to race based bullshit and the gender craziness. Not to mention how Biden screwed up the Afghanistan withdrawal making us look weak on the world stage. In part cause the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I listened to Trump supposedly saying he was giving reparations to white people. Pretty sure he didn’t say anything about skin color. He said people that are victims of racial discrimination when it comes to college admissions. People should be picked based on their qualifications. Not what they look like. Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with that; or am I going to get my threats? If thats what you want to do that’s fine. Enjoy doing your internet burpees tough guy. In addition, I have no idea who this Tanner person you speak of is. Sounds like an imaginary punching bag for you. God bless.
I’m not from any hood trailer park piece of shit. But I hand out fades to weak ass pussy racists like you when you yap that shit in person.
@Loud Hand out the fades. You’re so stunning and brave lol.
Facts respect a real one like Jim Jones and Santana. Trump is already trying to fix NYC
Jim Jones asked “what are we supposed to do, disrespect the president?” HELL PHUK YEAH!!! He disrespects the Black community and our respected voices everyday. You gotta be a real and true sucka a$$ Ni66a to do the sambo soft shoe for someone who hates you just because of the job they hold. America and the White House ain’t never been anything but a source of misery for Black Americans and those sellouts running to kiss Trump’s orange ass are an embarrassment to him hop and Black folks at large
We call them Sambo ass mofos. Same bitches quick to go off on any person criticizing them but tucking their shirts in and putting on their penny loafers for Trump to pat them on the head.
I can actually smell him from here
Exactly Jones didn’t sell out like Jay-Z
Don’t worry Jim being invited to the White House is something that you will never have to worry about. Carry On!!!
Fuck it, at this point, I’m going to celebrate when this rat MF dies
Those who really from the streets know why people voted Trump or like him all you yuppies don’t know shit!
Vampire Life!
Remember when hip hop was antiestablishment? No democrat bootlicking, no Trump rappers. Just anti. Shit is wack now.
Thank you. Hoes out here sitting at luncheons with politicians and shit after all of their hood ghetto music they’ve been promoting for 20 years. Shit is beyond disgusting. But then you got people like Tanner running in talking about but, but, but what if it was a Democrat. Fuck a Democrat or a Republican. I don’t trust any rapper sitting around with politicians and billionaires to spit any real shit to me on wax. Just let’s me know they’re some docile hoes who were always looking for white acceptance from masta.
Same dummy who said being a rapper is more dangerous than being in the service. Jimmy and Cam are the two worst MF’s to get an opinion from.
This tether piece of shit can get the foh
Here comes the country ass Federal Black Agenda to further divide our people. You are the real piece of shit my friend.
Nah…he’s President. Not King. So, the people don’t owe him sh*t.
