Waka Flocka is standing ten toes down on his support for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Taking to X to explain his stance on Wednesday (July 31), Waka said he’s not one to make politics his identity but he fully endorses Trump because he believes they align on certain values.
“Trump still my president I don’t have to stand with a red hat or dance or stage for money in my pockets,” he began. “didn’t push me this direction… this is my choice like I choose not to eat pork but do that make me hate pork lovers or disrespect their character…nor will I act like Politics my m o… I just want my rights.”
He continued in a separate post: “My freedom, equality, men/women to pay for bad policing, women to have rights and make choices for self, teachers to be paid more, and the list goes on but hey I’m just a lil o entertainer with a micro voice I know no1 is listening.”
People were quick to respond and let him know that he is looking at the wrong candidate if these are the things he is passionate about.
“Say brotha – I know you are a financial genius – you know how to make a dollar But politics are not your thing,” one person wrote.
Someone else said: “Policing? So you gonna vote for the guy who said in his own rally that he wants to give police total immunity? The guy who put judges on the Court who literally took the rights away of woman. You can’t be this dense.”
Another person added: “You been hacked? men/women to pay for bad policing is the EXACT opposite of his platform; when he talks about immunity. He wants to end public education NOT increase teacher pay and he’s completely against federally regulated bodily autonomy of women. Come on dog, you trollin?”

While performing in Salt Lake City, Utah last month, Waka Flocka made it clear that he’s serious about his support for the controversial former president by ordering any Joe Biden voters in the crowd to leave.
“All Joe Biden voters, get out of my concert,” he told paying attendees mid-show. “We gonna see y’all at the bingo game. We’re gonna party right now for T24.”
Waka Flocka publicly endorsed Trump last year, despite having openly disavowed him in the past.
In a post on X in October, the “Hard in da Paint” hitmaker made it clear who he would be voting for in the upcoming election by writing: “TRUMP2024.”
He later shared a photo of him standing next to the businessman-turned-politician in front of a presidential seal, and made it his profile picture.
Flocka’s post marked a sharp 180 as it was only a few years ago that he was openly criticizing the former president.

In 2015, during Trump’s turbulent tenure in office, the rapper tweeted: “Fuck Donald J. Trump.”
During that same period, he said during an interview on SiriusXM: “I’m not voting for Donald Trump because he’s for money. In a time like this, we need somebody that’s for the people, and Trump is definitely not for the people.”
Waka’s tone changed a few years later, however, when he was presented with a lifetime achievement award, which was signed into action by Trump’s administration before he left office in January 2021.
