Waka Flocka is standing ten toes down on his support for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Taking to X to explain his stance on Wednesday (July 31), Waka said he’s not one to make politics his identity but he fully endorses Trump because he believes they align on certain values.
“Trump still my president I don’t have to stand with a red hat or dance or stage for money in my pockets,” he began. “didn’t push me this direction… this is my choice like I choose not to eat pork but do that make me hate pork lovers or disrespect their character…nor will I act like Politics my m o… I just want my rights.”
He continued in a separate post: “My freedom, equality, men/women to pay for bad policing, women to have rights and make choices for self, teachers to be paid more, and the list goes on but hey I’m just a lil o entertainer with a micro voice I know no1 is listening.”
People were quick to respond and let him know that he is looking at the wrong candidate if these are the things he is passionate about.
“Say brotha – I know you are a financial genius – you know how to make a dollar But politics are not your thing,” one person wrote.
Someone else said: “Policing? So you gonna vote for the guy who said in his own rally that he wants to give police total immunity? The guy who put judges on the Court who literally took the rights away of woman. You can’t be this dense.”
Another person added: “You been hacked? men/women to pay for bad policing is the EXACT opposite of his platform; when he talks about immunity. He wants to end public education NOT increase teacher pay and he’s completely against federally regulated bodily autonomy of women. Come on dog, you trollin?”

While performing in Salt Lake City, Utah last month, Waka Flocka made it clear that he’s serious about his support for the controversial former president by ordering any Joe Biden voters in the crowd to leave.
“All Joe Biden voters, get out of my concert,” he told paying attendees mid-show. “We gonna see y’all at the bingo game. We’re gonna party right now for T24.”
Waka Flocka publicly endorsed Trump last year, despite having openly disavowed him in the past.
In a post on X in October, the “Hard in da Paint” hitmaker made it clear who he would be voting for in the upcoming election by writing: “TRUMP2024.”
He later shared a photo of him standing next to the businessman-turned-politician in front of a presidential seal, and made it his profile picture.
Flocka’s post marked a sharp 180 as it was only a few years ago that he was openly criticizing the former president.
In 2015, during Trump’s turbulent tenure in office, the rapper tweeted: “Fuck Donald J. Trump.”
During that same period, he said during an interview on SiriusXM: “I’m not voting for Donald Trump because he’s for money. In a time like this, we need somebody that’s for the people, and Trump is definitely not for the people.”
Waka’s tone changed a few years later, however, when he was presented with a lifetime achievement award, which was signed into action by Trump’s administration before he left office in January 2021.
That’s my ninja ! #MAGA🇺🇸 #Trump2024
Dude voting for the wrong candidate, if he’s voting at all. Some folks just gotta be contrarian.
HE’S FAT!
Democratic media got surface level Americans fooled. Trump is the truth. Stop watching 30 second clips the Dems feed u. Open your darkened eyes with the torchlight of knowledge. Trump will go down in history as one of our greatest presidents
Except for when he was president literally nothing was better. His ignorance made COVID be worse than it needed to be. He spent so much more money than the guy before him, yet not a single peep for those deficit hawks who always cry about government spending. Outside of COVID spending, he still spent more than Biden. I’m no Biden fan or hard-left liberal. But please tell me what Trump did for you to think he’ll go down as one of the greatest presidents?
Economy suffered due to his clownish nonsense. Inflation ballooned because he doled out monthly payments to people that we now have to pay for. Wish I could edit my president comment. At least inflation was better under him. But his poor handling of the economy lead to us having to pay back money that Trump spent!
Jesus Christ your fucking stupid. You must’ve been breast fed by a chimpanzee and had hotdog water in your cereal as a child.
Come on give the pregnant guy a break. He is obviously hormonal right now.
If you vote for Kamala your a fool.
I won’t assault your character for not agreeing with me. But I will kick you out of my show if you don’t align with my “values”.
