It’s official, Donald Trump is the President-Elect of the United States. This means everyone from every corner of the country has some thoughts on it, especially those in the hip-hop community that has admired Trump for decades. As such, here are some reactions to Trump’s victory in the hip-hop world.

50 Cent
50 Cent didn’t lean either way until the election, but he took a clear side after Trump’s victory. In the above post on Instagram, he wrote, “I don’t care how the fight goes, I’m leaving with the winner shit. I still don’t know what’s going on. congratulations!
Cardi B
Cardi B was active on social media as everyone patiently waited for the election results. After Trump was declared the winner, she wrote on her IG story, “I hate yall bad.” In a now-deleted video on X, she said, “This why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes. That’s all I’mma say.”
Chuck D
The always politically conscious Chuck D had a lot to say on X as the election was ending. In one post, he wrote, “Don’t Let A Win go to your head or a loss get to your heart. A ‘L’ He Got Game f****n again . The NYC hustler Gamed them again . Well its time for myself to work head forward as a 2nd class citizen. Good luck ill be watching it all with a Pen and a Pad USA .”
In another post, that included a drawing of Trump, he stated, “One thing we do know is that it wont be a goon gathering this coming January. It will be a concession without the bullsht.”

Azealia Banks is keeping folks on their toes.

After the election, she switched up once again, sharing a photo of her ballot on X, writing, “Lmao I lied, I voted for Trump yesterday.”
