The famous police photo taken after Trump’s arrest continued to cause a sensation.
Ex-President Donald J. Trump is currently facing a number of serious allegations: Among other things, he is accused of influencing state officials in the US state of Georgia to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election. After his arrest in this case, the mug shot went around the world. Now rappers are reacting to the picture.
Here’s what Lil Pump, Plies and more say about arrested Donald Trump
In the cosmos of gangsta rap, a mug shot can easily be considered a trophy. Nothing gives as much street cred as having your own portrait taken shortly after your arrest. So it’s no wonder that various rappers commented on Donald Trump’s snapshot last Thursday (August 24).
Lil Pump, who has long been a Trump supporter, shared a collage of his mugshot next to that of the former president on Instagram. Below that, Pump only commented “Free Trump”, next to an emoji of the USA flag, which also caused a lot of misunderstanding in the comments.
Plies, on the other hand, was more critical. On his X profile (formerly Twitter), he questions the obsession with Trump: “Just something that intrigues me: Why do white men with money worship and praise so much? […] We stress, kill, discredit, envy, despise and despise each other for money?” Plies’ post reads.
Quavo, himself a resident of the state of Georgia where Trump is charged, apparently took the arrest with humor. A post on X just said, “Just saw Trump in MAGIC CITY.” “Magic City” is a well-known strip club in the city of Atlanta that many local rappers mention in their songs.
