While it appears that Bernie Sanders will be getting the majority of the hip hop vote, Hillary Clinton has been endorsed by such respected rappers Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Pharrell. In a new interview with Vibe, Bobby Shmurda becomes the latest rapper to throw his political weight behind Miss Clinton.
"I like Hillary more because she’s into the people," he said. "You know they’ve said that women can’t run the country, but I feel like she’s more independent. She’s got a strong mind state. But Donald Trump’s an asshole. I don’t care, but he’s an asshole. I definitely don’t want him as our president." Clinton has no doubt been waiting on the Shmurda vote of confidence.
Despite being on 23-hour lockdown, Shmurda has been making the most of his time in jail. "A good friend told me before when I first got arrested ‘they can lock your body up but don’t let them lock your mind up,'" he told Vibe. "Ever since then, I’ve just been staying active. I’m writing. I’m reading. I’m doing everything. I could talk to people. I jump on the phone every once in awhile, but I just be in my own zone."
