In the middle of his campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Donald J. Trump welcomed rapper Lil Pump, or who he called “Little Pimp,” to the stage to say a few words to voters on Monday.
“Speaking of sound, music and other things, one of the big superstars of the world, Little Pimp,” Trump chuckled as he shined the light on the “Next” rapper. “Does everyone know who he is? Do you know how big he is?”
Lil Pump seemed unbothered by the mistake as he proudly walked up to the podium to co-sign his new ally.
“Hello, everybody. How you guys feeling?” Lil Pump said to a cheering audience. “I come here to say, Mr. President I appreciate everything you’ve done for our country. You brought the troops home and you’re doing the right thing. MAGA 202020, don’t forget that. Don’t forget that! And do not vote for sleepy Joe, at all!”
This would be the second time that the rapper has attended a rally on Trump’s behalf. His first appearance was at a rally in Florida on Sunday, Nov. 1 where he would wear a “Make America Great Again” hat and take photos with fans while sitting in the front row.
Lil Pump, real name Gazzy Garcia, started his own campaign of sorts, as fans labeled his support for the president with the clever phrase, “Pump for Trump.”
The “Life Like Me” rapper took to social media to share his sentiments on former vice president Joe Biden’s proposed tax plan. Lil Pump quickly got on the Trump bandwagon when he figured that the tax plan would essentially cost him too much.
His support for Trump was revealed just one week before Election Day when out of the blue Lil Pump posted an altered photo of him shaking hands with Trump. He captioned the post, “THE DAY I MET TRUMP #trump202022020.”
Ironically, the rapper’s record label, Tha Lights Global, swiftly released a statement explaining it’s allegiance to the left.
“Tha Lights Global supports everyone’s right to choose a Presidential candidate, however we want to make it clear we do not support Donald Trump,” Dooney Battle, CEO of Tha Lights Global said in the statement. The statement went on to say how the label backs Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
