The rapper Waka Flocka Flame, whose real name is Juaquin James Malphurs, has said that he will be supporting Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
On November 1, the artist from Atlanta expressed his support for the Republican candidate in a post on X, which was previously known as Twitter. This move adds new dynamics to an election season that is already unique because it reflects a recent trend of celebrities publicly shifting their political support.
Trump should run for president! Let’s get going!
— Waka Flocka Flame (@WakaFlocka) November 1, 2024 Malphurs also shared a photo of himself and Trump from a June concert in Miami on Instagram with the following caption: I will never go back and forth with you ever if you engage in public disrespect… I’m just moving forward… Just don’t physically touch me… you get it, no one made me vote this way or paid me one cent… I chose Trump for my own reasons, unlike many other people I know, but to each his own. Despite the fact that some figures, such as the rapper Sexyy Red, had previously backed Trump, she ultimately voted for Kamala Harris. God is the only judge, and God knows my heart. In the meantime, a number of celebrities, including Brittany Mahomes, Zachary Levi, Elon Musk, and Amber Rose, have joined long-time Republican supporters Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan in supporting conservative candidates.
Although endorsements from well-known individuals can mobilize new voters, political analysts contend that their impact on the outcome of elections is still unclear. Despite this, celebrity endorsements continue to pique the interest of the general public and highlight the changing political alliances in the upcoming election.
