As the shocking and unprecedented news of President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 election and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to become to Democratic nominee continues to send shockwaves all over the nation, it hasn’t shaken some of Black Hollywood’s support for Donald Trump.
Suggested Reading
As evident by ringing endorsements from rappers like Kanye “Ye” West and Sexxy Red to folks like Amber Rose and others—Trump’s Hollywood supporters are ready and willing to get behind him and push him to the finish line.
So it’s in that vein that we’d thought we’d provide you with a running list of Black celebs who are backing the 45th president!
Kanye West
We all know Ye came out in support of Trump in 2018, he’s been a consistent force in his corner ever since. He even went so far as to ask Trump to be his running mate in this year’s election but it obviously didn’t go anywhere.
Azealia Banks
Earlier this month, after alleging that she was invited by Trump to attend a rally earlier this month (“Trump invited the gang” were her exact words), Banks’ presence was soon plastered all over the internet thanks to footage from the 45th president’s own Instagram recapping the event and multiple videos online. Once circulated, she drew both ire and jokes from fans.
Waka Flocka Flame
In addition to telling Joe Biden supporters to leave his concert earlier this month, rapper Waka Flocka Flame further stood on his support for Trump, writing in a tweet on X/Twitter: “I’m not calling Trump a racist or Biden a racist I just want what’s best for my family, community, and future… name calling tied to emotions in my book I just see facts and truth #T24.”
Sexxy Red
In addition to recently nodding to Trump with her “Make America Sexxy Again” promo campaign for her music, back in 2023, Sexxy Red voiced her support for Trump during an interview on the This Past Weekend podcast:
“I like Trump… once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people that free money. Aww baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office. We need him back because, baby, them checks. Them stimulus checks. Trump, we miss you.”
Amber Rose
Speaking at the Republican National Convention just last week, rapper and model Amber Rose stood ten toes down on her support for Trump. Prior to her surprisng appearance, she praised the 45th president during an interview on Lara Trump’s podcast The Right View:
“I’m a single mother of two. I’m an American, I was born in Philadelphia. And for me, Donald Trump is the epitome of an alpha male. He’s there to protect, provide, make sure the citizens of the U.S. are in a good economy, protecting us. I feel protected by Donald Trump.”
DJ Akademiks
In addition to traveling to Mar-A-Lago to meet with Trump backin April 2024 and defending him after he was was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records—DJ Akademiks flat out said Trump has his vote in the 2024 election an interview with DJ Vlad two years prior:
“I’m definitely voting for Trump, 100 percent. The reason why is that if he’s the only other candidate and if I gotta tolerate four more years of Biden, I’m not doing it. The reason is that if he’s the only other candidate and if I have to tolerate four more years of Biden, I’m not doing it. Unfortunately, we live in a country with a two-party system,” he said.
Kodak Black
It’s well known that Kodak Black became a Trump fan after being pardoned by him back in 2021, but it seems the love is still there as evident by Black’s comments towards fellow rapper Plies after he expressed skepticism over Trumps’s shocking assassination attempt just last week:
“We ain’t going for any Trump slander,” Black said during an Instagram Live session. “You gotta get off that shit, Plies. Trump ain’t done nothing to you… You rich, bruh. We [are] rich. Fall back, love. ‘Cause shit can get mafioso, boy.”
Chief Keef
While rapper Chief Keef hasn’t officially come out to say Trump’s got his vote in the upcoming election, his odd praise of him when he was arrested in Georgia back in Augustr 2023 definitely sounded alarms.
In posting a photoshopped picture of Trump throwing up gang signs on his Instagram, Keef wrote at the time: “Nah my boy in dat bitch bangin on dem folks. I know whatever deck he on he good in the hood for sure he finna run the prison. That boy finna be eating like a MF all da Blacks finna have my boy back.”
Benny the Butcher
After tweeting on X/Twitter how he’d support Trump in the 2024 race, rapper Benny the Butcher appeared on an MSNBC special, Black Men in America, where he further discussed Trump and the backlash to his post: “I got a lot of flack for that. But what I did realize is this—I discovered that a lot of Black people voted for Trump; they just don’t advertise it like I did.”
Ice Cube
Despite receiving backlash back in 2020 for supporting Trump and working with him on his his “Contract with Black America” initiative, it seems Cube may be trying to put a little distance between him and the 45th president thanks to an interview with Fox Business back in May:
“I think it’s a personal decision. I don’t know if they care if any rappers or entertainers get up there and say anything. It’s really a personal decision. People know who Trump is. People know who Biden is. They’re going to make their decision no matter who gets up there and pushes whatever agenda they want,” he said.
Dennis Rodman
Back in 2016, ahead of the election, Dennis Rodman tweeted that Donald “has been a great friend for many years.” He added: “We don’t need another politician, we need a businessman like Mr. Trump! Trump 2016.”
Trump later responded on X/Twitter: “Thank you @DennisRodman. It’s time to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain! I hope you are doing well!”
