It goes without saying that countless political pundits, journalists and publications didn’t see the reality in a Donald Trump presidency but here American stands with said reality.
It was an election that faced several controversies but still attracted those magical 270 Electoral College votes to ensure a Republican victory. Yet and still, several Hip Hop superstars couldn’t contain their astonishment as the numbers rolled in.
Diddy, foreseeing what was to come, posted a meme on his Instagram that read “Keep Calm: No matter who is president, Jesus is king.” David Banner undertook a similar sentiment, telling his Twitter followers not to “freak out” all the same.
Naturally, there was also defiance across the board. YG, who has been campaigning all yearwith his single “FDT (Fuck Donald Trump),” promised to keep the middle fingers high and Public Enemy’s Chuck D fired up his social media with his traditional fevered persona.
Check out the numerous reactions down below from numerous people you definitely heard of. And nope, they’re not pretty
