Azealia Banks stirred up her followers with a surprising revelation on election day, claiming she voted for Donald Trump, despite previously voicing support for Kamala Harris.
The internet was set ablaze when Azealia Banks, known for her outspoken personality, unveiled that she had voted for Trump. This came shortly after a passionate outburst supporting Kamala Harris on social media.
On Wednesday morning, she shared an image that appeared to be her ballot, with Trump’s name clearly marked. A teasing caption accompanied it, “Lmao I lied, I voted for Trump yesterday,” complete with a laughing emoji.
Initial support for Kamala Harris was strong. Banks had voiced her concerns about Trump’s close ties with Elon Musk, whom she labeled a self-serving individual. “Keeping Musk away from political power is crucial,” she ranted online, questioning Musk’s integrity and warning of potential dangers.
Banks accused Musk of squandering taxpayer money and expressed her distrust of his character. “He’s not the richest man because of honesty,” she claimed, criticizing his ethics.
Despite Banks’ apparent change of heart, the election results were in Trump’s favor early on. He secured 277 electoral votes, claiming victory by 2:30 AM Eastern Time on Wednesday.
Kamala Harris had not yet conceded the race at the time of Banks’ revelation, though it was expected later that day. Other notable election outcomes included Jason Lee’s council seat win in California and Fani Willis’ reelection as District Attorney in Georgia.
Azealia Banks’ unexpected shift in political support has sparked much conversation online, leaving many to wonder what’s next in the world of politics.
