Plies Slams Trump’s Conviction, Calls for Action from Black Community

Plies Slams Trump’s Conviction, Calls for Action from Black Community

Plies, known for his outspoken criticism of Donald Trump, didn’t hold back following the former president’s conviction in his hush money case. The rapper took to Twitter, later reposting on Instagram, with a bold message: “Dear Black Folks: If U Want Lawmakers To Change The Law About Convicted Felons Being Able To Run For President. I’m About To Tell Everyone How To Fix It! All African Americans Convicted Felons Let’s Start Signing Up For Elections & Running.”

Plies isn’t alone in the hip-hop world when it comes to reacting to Trump’s legal woes. Ice-T also shared his disdain, trolling Trump and his supporters on Twitter. Despite the mockery, there’s widespread skepticism about Trump actually serving jail time, considering the nature of his conviction.

Other rappers, like 50 Cent, have taken a more light-hearted approach, mocking Trump either for fun or out of genuine political disagreement. The hip-hop community’s relationship with Trump has evolved significantly over the years. Initially less serious, Trump’s presidency has polarized artists, some condemning him while others, like Sleepy Hallow and Sheff G, offer their support.

As the election approaches, Trump’s conviction stirs even more controversy and conversation. Whether this changes public opinion remains to be seen, but it’s clear that Plies and others are determined to use this moment to push for change.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ Husband Doug Emhoff Admits to Affair During First Marriage

In a startling revelation, Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has confirmed allegations of infidelity from his first marriage.
