Rick Ross is fighting back against friends and civilians who claim that Donald Trump had people “eating” when he was President of the United States.
In an Instagram video, Rozay implored his fellow citizens not to be “delusional” when it comes to the notion that Trump was solely responsible for putting more money in people’s pockets.

“I just got off the phone with one of my homies — and let’s make it clear: you vote for who you want to vote for, it’s fine with me — but one of my homies was like, ‘Boy, I can’t wait for Trump to get back in, he had a n-gga eating!'” he said.
“I just don’t want nobody to be delusional, you can’t be a delusional n-gga. Did he have you eating or was it a nationwide, worldwide pandemic and you n-ggas stole the money?” he asked.

Ross was referring to the PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) loans that were issued to businesses during Trump’s COVID-stricken presidency.
Hundreds of billions of dollars were loaned to millions of applicants in the U.S., although fraud was rife, with at least $76 billion estimated to have been stolen.
Rappers across the country have been divided on Donald Trump’s presidency. In a surprise change of heart, Snoop Dogg recently said he has “love and respect” for the former president.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Snoop — who previously called Trump” racist” — said: “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me.”

Snoop praised Trump for pardoning Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris, who spent 30 years behind bars on an attempted murder charge and drugs offences.
“He pardoned Michael Harris. So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” he added.

Kodak Black has been a staunch supporter of Donald Trump ever since the former president pardoned him during his last day in the Oval Office in January 2021.
Yak has said he wants Trump to run for re-election in 2024 and even thinks he should be the president for an infinite term until he decides to step down.
The Sniper Gang leader made his opinion known during a video posted to Instagram last summer, which found him celebrating Independence Day while rocking a Trump 2024 hoodie with plenty of fireworks going off in his backyard.
“We need Trump in office forever, man. Just like how them Chinese and Russian and Korean muthafuckas they have their president,” he said. “Trump the best thing for America — ya heard me — for sure. I respect that boy logic, setup and whole rundown even if he didn’t free me.”

On the other end of the spectrum, YG and the late, great Nipsey Hussle famously turned their disdain for Trump into “FDT (Fuck Donald Trump)” in 2016.
The raucous protest anthem arrived in March of that year, eight months before Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

Four years later, “FDT” propelled to the top of the iTunes chart when Trump lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
