Lil Pump Voices His Support For Donald Trump After Slamming Kamala Harris
Lil Pump’s harsh words against Megan Thee Stallion have ignited a heated debate, with some agreeing that Megan’s performance was inappropriate for a political event. Others see it as a celebration of female empowerment. But Pump is not buying it.
Taking to social media, he called the performance “an embarrassment to our country“, further taking a jab at Stallion as well as Harris. “Nicki Minaj > Megan stallion,” he declared on his social media, amid the infamous beef between Megan and Nicki earlier this year.
Moreover, he also went on to question Megan’s decision to perform at the rally, implying that she was only there to draw a crowd for Kamala. “Kamala Harris needs Megan the stallion shaking a*s to have people show up to her rally,” he wrote, taking an apparent dig at Harris too.
Pump then made it clear that he is in support of the Republican candidate Donald Trump, ahead of the upcoming Presidential elections. “Donald Trump needs himself to have people show up to his rally. One person is powered by the people, the other is powered by the establishment. Trump 2024,” he stated.
A lot of people including President Joe Biden are questioning why all the rappers are supporting Trump.

Why Are The Hip-Hop Artists Advocating For Trump?
A growing number of rappers, including Kodak Black, Sexy Redd, Benny The Butcher, Lil Pump, and Chief Keef, have publicly expressed support for Donald Trump. While their reasons may vary, some common themes emerge. Trump’s outsider status resonates with artists who feel disillusioned with the political system.
Additionally, his relaxed approach to censorship appeals to rappers who value unfiltered expression. His tax cuts and business-friendly policies attract entrepreneurs in the hip-hop industry. Some rappers, like Kodak Black, have received support from Trump or his associates in the past.
Previously, Trump also advocated to free the rappers who were locked up. So, by backing Trump, these rappers reject the assumption that they must conform to traditional Democratic Party loyalty. However, it’s important to note that their support doesn’t necessarily mean they endorse all of Trump’s policies or actions.
