AceShowbiz - Waka Flocka Flame, a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, has come under fire for not voting in the past two elections. On X (formerly Twitter), he responded to criticism, stating that his "voice [is] bigger than [his] vote."
Flocka's comments stem from a social media user who pointed out his lack of voting history. The rapper responded by accusing critics of being upset because he "know[s] we second class citizens."
Flocka maintains that his choice to support Trump is his own and that he should be free to express his political opinions without fear of attack. "I just want my rights," he said. "My freedom, equality, men/women to pay for bad policing, women to have rights and make choices for self, teachers to be paid more..."
Despite his support for Trump, Flocka has been vocal about his belief that his voice holds more weight than his vote. This stance has drawn mixed reactions from fans, with some agreeing with his assessment and others criticizing his choice not to participate in the democratic process.
Social media users reacted negatively to Flocka's comments, with many accusing him of hypocrisy for urging others to vote while not doing so himself. Others defended his decision, arguing that his influence extends beyond the ballot box.
Despite the backlash, Flocka remains steadfast in his decision not to vote. He joins a small group of celebrities who have endorsed Donald Trump for President, including Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Lil Pump.
