50 Cent, T.I. and More React to Kanye West’s White House Meeting With President Trump
Kanye West once again draws the ire of the hip-hop community. Earlier today (Oct. 11), Yeezy took a trip to the White House to speak with President Trump, where the two discussed prison reform, campaign slogans and more. Now, folks from across the world of hip-hop have stepped forth to condemn the Chicago rapper.
Among those who critiqued Yeezy's White House visit was T.I. Back in May, the two connected on a song by the name of "Ye Vs. the People," a song where each of them argued for their view point conversations style. While the two had respectfully agreed to disagree by the end of the track, it looks like Tip has had enough.
"Now I’ve been extremely patient and made it a point to not jump to any premature conclusions about Ye’& his antics... Partially due to the lessons learned from the outcome of other similar situations dealing wit my brother Wayne (which I admittedly mishandled a bit in hindsight) But now this shit is next level,futuristic Sambo,Hopping Bob, Stephen off Django ass shit Ye!!!!" T.I. began in the caption for a scathing 'Ye critique.
He continues, "From what I can gather... This is the most repulsive,disgraceful,
Embarrassing act of desperation & auctioning off of one’s soul to gain power I’ve ever seen. Now I recall you asking me to come with you to have this meeting and I declined (naturally)... but bro... if ain’time I would’ve been in there wit you and you behaved that spinelessly in my presence,I feel that I’d be compelled to slap de’Fuq outta you bro For the People!!!"
T.I. says more, but you get the idea.
In his typically comical tone, 50 Cent mocked Yeezy with an illustration of President Trump wearing a Superman costume and carrying Yeezy as if he's Lois Lane. If you didn't know, Yeezy said Trump's Make America Great Again hat makes him feel like Superman.
Daz Dillinger, who's been throwing shots at ’Ye on social media as of late, posted an image of the Chicago rapper with a huge head on Instagram; the photo is clearly Photoshopped. "WHAT IZ THIS TRUMP HEAD NIGGA DOIN LOL," he wrote as the caption.
Big Gipp also didn't hold back. "This is Tha Example of What I was Taught a Duck Look Like," he wrote in an Instagram post along with a photo of Kanye and Trump's meeting. "So Drunk off the KoolAid He is Insane.. Check Tha Conversation He Talking about his connection to the Kardashians (Marketing Tool) To Start the Conversation / First Remarks Was Bashing a Women Miss Clinton to Point Out U On Trump Side Cool But Why the Comparison its a Angle People U didnt Say LARRY HOOVER YO HERO U SAID SUPERMAN ...But Again This America and As Long as U Can Be Bought By This Type Of Guy ...U A Grade Lower."
