Lil Pump Reportedly Deletes 2016 “F*ck Donald Trump” Tweet

Lil Pump’s endorsement of Trump shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. In a sense, it feels like the suburban mothers who were bumping “Gucci Gang” in their mini-van with their kids would be the same ones to vote for Trump. But for those who’ve been around since the success of the single, you’re probably aware that Pump previously took an anti-Trump stance. Evidently, this was before he was getting money.

Maybe he thought aligning himself with Trump would boost his career since it has been on a steady decline since the release of his 2017 self-titled debut mixtape. But for new fans, this could certainly help boost his profile among the suburban demographic. However, it appears he may have tried to erase traces of his “Fuck Donald Trump” stance. Back in 2016, the rapper literally tweeted, “Fuck Donald Trump” but apparently, those tweets have vanished. The tweets resurfaced earlier today with plenty of hip-hop heads clowning Pump for the desperate attempt at relevance.

Trump, who introduced Pump as “one of the big superstars of the world, Lil Pimp,” was showered with praise by Pump. “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… And do not vote for Sleepy Joe,” Pump said.

Honestly, it seems like Pump just needed validation from someone. Hope you got it, pal.

In a world where hip-hop is often filled with drama, Lil Kim’s recent Instagram post shines a light on her love and respect for Voletta Wallace, the mother of her late friend and musical partner, The Notorious B.I.G. In this heartfelt tribute, Kim reflects on their special bond, referring to Voletta as a “second mom.” Lil Kim, known as the Queen Bee, has faced her share of public conflicts, including a famous rivalry with fellow rapper Nicki Minaj. However, her tribute to Voletta serves as a reminder of her deep love for those who have influenced her life and career.

Kim recalls how Biggie discovered her in the early ’90s and brought her into the Bad Boy family, changing her life forever. But it wasn’t just Biggie who made an impression on Kim; Voletta also played an important role as a caring and supportive figure. In her post, Kim shares a fond memory, “I’m smiling to myself because I can hear you saying, ‘MY GOD CHRISTOPHER!! Put that smoke down!!'” These were playful words that Voletta often said to her son. She finds comfort in knowing that Voletta is now reunited with Biggie in heaven, saying, “It makes the sadness a little better knowing that you’re with the other half of your heart.” This shows just how deeply she feels after losing both Biggie and Voletta.

Kim also mentions their special connection over the last ten years, stating that those years were truly remarkable for their relationship. Voletta wasn’t just a mother figure to Kim; she was a “strong Queen” and a “beautiful warrior angel,” someone Kim deeply respects. Through this touching tribute, Lil Kim reveals a different side of herself, filled with love, memories, and gratitude for the powerful women who have guided her along her path. In a competitive industry, the love of family and the memories of those who have shaped her are what truly matter.

The Joe Budden Podcast Sparks Heated Debate Contemplating If Lil Wayne Can Return to Peak Form

HonkMagazine

When talking about the biggest names in hip-hop, few are as celebrated as Lil Wayne. With a career that has lasted for decades, his legacy is already impressive, leading many to debate how great he truly is. The latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast tackled this topic, discussing whether Lil Wayne could ever return to the peak of his career or if those days are behind him for good. The discussion began by looking at other legendary artists, like Jay-Z, and how they’ve stayed relevant over the years.

Joe Budden and his guests talked about how Jay-Z used his music, especially his album 4:44, to share reflections from his life, keeping his work meaningful and current. But when it came to Lil Wayne, Budden didn’t hold back. He confidently asserted, “Yes, Wayne has peaked.” Budden argued that Wayne’s best days, when he was not only a top rapper but also deeply connected to the culture and his fans, had already passed. He believed that even if Lil Wayne improved his rapping in the future, the magic of his prime had already happened. This is a strong opinion, but it’s not without reason. Songs from the albums Tha Carter II and Tha Carter III, along with his incredible mixtapes, showed Wayne at his best during the late 2000s.

He was a powerhouse, delivering memorable performances and shaping hip-hop in a way that influenced many upcoming artists. The big question now is whether he can reach those heights again. Not everyone on the podcast agreed with Budden. Some panel members felt that while Wayne’s peak might be over, his talent and passion for music remain intact. No matter what people think, there’s no denying that Lil Wayne’s impact on hip-hop is already legendary. Whether he finds his way back to his former success or not, his influence will continue to be felt for many years to come.
