As Trump shakes up his Cabinet with firings, who did he fire?
President Donald Trump’s Cabinet has been shaken up after he fired both Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem, with further changes reportedly on the horizon.
Rapper Swae Lee is not a fan of Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.
The “Sunflower” singer and one half of the hip-hop duo Rae Sremmur has come clean about her political views, nearly two years after facing backlash for telling fans not to vote for former Vice President Harris, then the Democratic front-runner in the 2024 presidential election.
“I don’t hate Kamala Harris, but I’ve never expressed solidarity with any politician, just like some people think I’m a Trump supporter,” Lee said in a recent interview on The Breakfast Club. “You’ve never seen me without a MAGA hat or anything.”
The “Unforgettable” singer further added, “I don’t support politicians at all. … I do my research and find out what they’re really going to do for the people. For example, what are they going to do that will affect my daily life?”
Lee said he understood why some people assumed he was a Trump supporter after Harris’ post went viral, but he wanted people to “open their eyes” and “really know what they’re voting for.”
“This is a new candidate. So I was like, ‘Kamala…I feel like it’s just Disneyland,'” Lee said. “You should honestly think about what this person is promoting. You know what I’m saying?”
Swae Lee says she may have been ‘paid’ by Trump
Lee said he could have “earned a quid pro quo” from the Trump administration, but ultimately did not.
“I don’t stand for any of that (expletive) language. In the same way, I don’t want people to think that I don’t stand for any of that (expletive),” he said. “I’m looking for real political candidates who will really bring about positive change. And that’s rare.”
Lee told host Charlamagne Tha God that several acting offers were extended before and after Harris’ post.
“At one point we had 90 (thousand) bands coming to play and things like (expletive),” Lee said. “But not all money is good money. And it’s not good money. And I don’t support that.”
USA TODAY contacted the White House on April 3 to ask whether it had offered Lee $90,000 in appearance fees in the past, but did not immediately receive a response.
