But there have been several other notable hip hop artists to fall victim to the siren song of conservatism. In 2012 Nicki Minaj rapped in a song:

Rapper 50 Cent is reportedly an active investor and businessman who leans Republican. He helped found a sports drink company that was sold to Coca Cola for $4.1 billion. The Trump campaign approached him in 2017, and to his credit he rebuffed them.

Lastly is this rant by singer Cardi B regarding government spending. I have heard this played on a conservative talk show (warning: LANGUAGE)

I am especially concerned because these are people who are very influential among young African Americans. They are being steered down a very wrong path. What can be done to correct this?
This IS the correction.

In my opinion, that's not really something to celebrate. Let the Dark Side (meaning modern collective liberalism) keep them.

Lol! With your ideas about black Americans, it's no wonder that the Rightie Ideologue is a hit with people of color. Wave of the future I tell ya.

This thread is so bizzare.
They’ve found an outlet for their obsession with African Americans.

They can’t talk greasy to us in person, so they do it here.

If some of these hip hop artists are trying to get Black people to vote Republican, it isn't working. Kanye West isn't getting more Blacks to become Republicans. Neither is Cardi B. I don't think that "being on the plantation" has anything to do with it. And using the term "plantation" is just a term used to shame Black people who don't want to vote Republican.

I raised my son in a two parent household. Try doing the same for your children instead of attempting to advise me about doing something that I already did with flying colors AND some.

Of course, that would requiring getting a woman first in your case. Start there.

It's not about you, it's about the fact that 70% of black children are raised in single parent homes. But hey you got your kicks and you get to falsely play the race card.
