AceShowbiz - Waka Flocka Flame has taken a clear stance in the upcoming election, announcing his support for Republican nominee Donald Trump. In a series of tweets on July 31, the rapper expressed his reasons for supporting Trump, while emphasizing that he does not subscribe to the extremism of some of Trump's followers.
"Trump still my president," Waka Flocka Flame stated. "I don't have to stand with a red hat or dance or stage for money in my pockets."
Prior to this, the rapper showed support for Trump with his recent behavior at a July concert. On July 2, Waka Flocka Flame singled out Joe Biden supporters and mocked them during his show in Utah.
"All Joe Biden voters, get out of my concert," he stated, adding, "We going to see y’all at the bingo game." This incident drew criticism from fans who paid to see him perform, and it has raised questions about his sincerity in supporting Trump.
It is worth noting that Waka Flocka Flame was awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Trump administration in 2021 for his philanthropic work.
