Rapper Killer Mike recently stunned comedian Bill Maher on Friday when he refused to back President Joe Biden in his election race against Donald Trump.
Killer Mike evaded answering Maher’s repeated requests that he reveal which candidate he supported in the 2024 election. The rap star eventually spelled out the terms under which he would back Biden, telling the president to take concrete measures that benefited Black people.
Maher argued that voters should care more about ideas than specific candidates, and then asked the rapper who he was voting “for” in 2024.
“I’m for black people. And Happy Black History Month,” Killer Mike said before appearing to reference his past support for socialist Independent Bernie Sanders.
“You can’t get yourself to say ‘vote for Biden over Trump?’” Maher asked.
Killer Mike wouldn’t take the bait.
“Can he get himself to apologize for the [1994] crime bill? Can he get himself to get his head out of his ass and say ‘black people, you are black regardless?”
“Can he pick a coalition of former people who were affected by drug law, street gangs, recidivism and crime and say ‘I need you as a board to advise me how to fix federal prisons’?”
“If he can do that, absolutely I can. So my challenge is out.”
The Black community is moving away from Democrats. Not just rapper Killer Mike believes that life was better under Donald Trump. Rappers are included in this.
Through his collaboration with Ye and Kim Kardashian on criminal justice reform, his assistance in freeing A$AP Rocky from a Swedish prison, and his granting of presidential pardons to Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, Donald Trump established connections with the hip-hop community.
Recently, 50 Cent attacked Democrats over NYC’s $53 million scheme to provide illegal immigrants with prepaid credit cards.
“WTF mayor Adams call my phone, I don’t understand how this works somebody explain… I’m stuck maybe TRUMP is the answer.”
