Waka Flocka’s support for Donald Trump sparks controversy as he hasn’t voted.
- The rapper backed Trump on social media but hasn’t cast a ballot.
- Fans and critics called out Waka for not voting in the elections.
- Waka claims his influence is larger than his voting power.
- He defends his stance, saying politics aren’t his main focus.
Waka Flocka, the Atlanta rapper known for his energetic style, recently stirred up social media with his outspoken support for Donald Trump. Despite loudly backing the former president online, it was revealed that Waka hasn’t participated in elections, stirring criticism and raising eyebrows among fans and followers.
On a spirited Friday, Waka took to X, urging excitement for Trump with a post that said, “Trump for president!!!!!! Let’s Go!!!!!” However, this enthusiasm faced backlash when a fellow X user, @LadyJMillzz, pointed out Waka’s lack of voting history, highlighting it with a screenshot that showed he’s never cast a ballot, not even for “Rotting Sweet Potato,” her nickname for Trump.
In response to the criticism, Waka didn’t engage directly but, instead, doubled down on his social media. He argued that his “voice is bigger than my vote” and suggested that he’s attuned to the political landscape, despite not voting. He defiantly stated, “Y’all mad because i know we second class citizens… my voice bigger then my vote.. ain’t no punking me!!! Fake Bully’s.”
Over the summer, Waka tried to explain his attraction to Trump’s presidency. While he distanced himself from being a political figure, he mentioned shared values like freedom, equality, and rights that align with his beliefs. He emphasized, “I just want my rights,” clarifying that his decision was personal, not influenced by financial gain or political allegiance.
Critics on social media quickly reminded Waka that Trump’s policies might contradict the values he holds dear. One commenter noted the irony, pointing out that the candidate Waka supports might not champion the rights of women and teachers or reform bad policing, as Trump has expressed different priorities.
Waka’s vocal support nonetheless led to confusion. Many argued that his message was contradictory, especially since Trump’s policies often seem at odds with Waka’s stated concerns. Yet, Waka insisted on his choice, highlighting individuality in his political journey and showing a mix of defiance and self-expression.
In the whirlwind of criticism, Waka Flocka remains unapologetic for supporting Trump while skipping the voting booth.
