In 2024, several prominent rappers continue to express support for Donald Trump, despite the ongoing controversy surrounding his political career. Kanye West remains one of the most vocal supporters, tying his admiration for Trump to his advocacy for individualism, freedom of speech, and challenging political norms. Since their 2016 meeting, Kanye has consistently aligned with Trump’s anti-establishment rhetoric.

Lil Pump also stands by Trump, praising his stance on taxes and his brash political style. Despite backlash, he remains a vocal supporter, having endorsed Trump during the 2020 election. Similarly, Kodak Black, who was pardoned by Trump in 2021, continues to express his gratitude, frequently voicing admiration for the former president.

Other rappers, while not fully endorsing Trump, have engaged with his administration. Ice Cube worked with Trump on the “Contract with Black America” initiative, focused on improving economic opportunities for Black Americans. Lil Wayne, another pardoned artist, supported Trump during the 2020 election, particularly praising his “Platinum Plan” aimed at economic growth for the Black community.

Azealia Banks and Waka Flocka Flame have also shown support for Trump, citing his unorthodox approach to politics and policies benefiting small businesses. Though their endorsements are polarizing, these rappers remain steadfast, aligning with Trump’s controversial political stances and sparking ongoing debates within the hip-hop community.
