Trump brings rapper Lil Pump on stage at rally, calls him 'Little Pimp'

While John Legend was spending the final night of the US presidential campaigning speaking up on behalf of his boy Joe Biden (and throwing shade at the recent string of rappers who have been supporting Donald Trump), the current president spent his last night on the trails introducing a top-secret guest: “Lil Pimp.”Trump may have said “Lil Pimp” but he was of course referring to 20-year-old rapper and new MAGA supporter Lil Pump. The president quickly recovered (though failed to apologize) because wrong names don't seem to throw The Donald. Anyhow, Trump invited the “Gucci Gang” rapper onstage during a late-night rally in Michigan, inviting him to speak to the crowd. “Speaking of sound, music and other things, one of the big superstars of the world, Little Pimp,” Trump said. “There he is. How’s it going? You want to come up and say something? Come on, Little Pump, come on up here,” he added, correcting himself.

“Does everyone know who he is? Do you know how big he is?” Trump asked the crowd before letting his guest—who clearly didn’t mind the gaff—speak. “Hello everybody, how y’all feeling?” Lil Pump said from the stage while sporting a MAGA hat. “I’ve 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 20-20-20. Don’t forget that! Don’t forget that. And do not vote for Sleepy Joe at all!”Lil Pump is one of several rappers who have recently voiced support for Donald Trump in the days leading up to the November 3 election. Last month Ice Cube stepped up for the current president after Trump agreed to speak with the rapper about his social and political initiative, Contract with Black America, while Joe Biden’s team asked to wait until after the election. A short while later Lil Wayne also started spouting support for Trump after what he called a “great meeting” between the two.John Legend isn’t the only one calling out these rappers for their support of a leader who blatantly refused to condemn white supremacists just a few short weeks ago during the first presidential debate. Over the weekend, Michael Che took issue with the trend on the "Weekend Update" portion of Saturday Night Live. “Many are surprised by Lil Wayne’s endorsements of Trump, but keep in mind Lil Wayne puts cough syrup in his Sprite, so grain of salt,” he shot out during the segment, which begins around the two-minute mark.

“It’s weird that I have to tell politicians rappers are not Black leaders. They’re just rappers. Stop negotiating with them. They only do this with Black people. I never saw a candidate talking to Gilbert Gottfried about what to do in Israel. That would be insulting, right?” Che continued. “I love Ice Cube, but you know how many jobs he has on top of negotiating for Black people? You know why Malcolm [X] and Martin [Luther King Jr.] were such great leaders? Because they weren’t also working on Barbershop 4.”The U.S. presidential election goes down November 3. However because of a record-number of mail-in votes and other traditional (and non-traditional) delays, the official results of who America’s next leader is could take weeks to figure out. In the meantime, queue up those playlists accordingly.
