Florida native Lil’ Pump dominated headlines when he made a surprise appearance at President Donald Trump’s rally in Florida on Sunday.
The teenage rapper has been highlighting his support for Trump within the last week. In October, he began by posting a photoshopped pictured of himself with the President. He then followed up his Instagram post with a video of himself criticizing former Vice President Joe Biden’s plan to tax those who make more than $400,000 annually. His final display of support came as he posted pictures of himself in the front rows of President Donald Trump’s crowded rally without a mask on.
During the rally, the President called the “Gucci Gang” artist on stage to share a few words. However, it appeared that he did not know who Lil’ Pump was. In fact, he mispronounced his name.
“One of the biggest superstars in the world… Lil Pimp,” he said as the rapper made his way to the stage.

“Hello everybody! How are you guys feeling? I’ve come here to say, ‘Mr. President, I appreciate everything you have done for our country.’ You brought the troops home and are doing the right thing. MAGA 2020. Don’t forget that!” Lil’ Pump said on stage.
Lil’ Pump is not the first artist to tie himself to the Trump re-election campaign. Ice Cube, Lil’ Wayne and 50 Cent have all been tied to the campaign as of late.
Meanwhile, former Vice President Joe Biden also seems to be drawing on celebrity support. In recent weeks, Offset, 2 Chainz, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Barack Obama and many others have offered their support for the former Vice President.
The dueling campaign’s will have one last opportunity to drive their support to the White House as the last wave of voters takes to the polls.
