Social media users are sharing their reactions after Waka Flocka Fame made a viral request for former President Donald Trump.
On Saturday, January 20, the rapper took to X, formerly known as Twitter, with a message that started with “Dear Trump.” As he continued, Waka made a request of the former president, who is now seeking reelection.
Waka asked for Trump to “abolish” the October holiday, Christopher Columbus Day.
Additionally, the 37-year-old rapper referred to the holiday as an insult to Black men.
“Dear Trump abolish Christopher Columbus Day… As a what’s called Blackman in United States this holiday is a spit in our faces… Thanks from Waka Flocka Flame and the People!!!” he wrote.
To note, Waka Flocka previously expressed his endorsement of Trump for the upcoming election via X in October 2023.
Social media users entered The Shade Room’s comment section to share their reactions to Waka’s request for Trump. Many appeared confused as to why he would make a request to someone who does not currently have presidential authority.
Instagram user @whoisfrankpierce wrote, “Odd request to a person who is not the sitting president.”
Meanwhile, as Waka pulled Trump into headlines this past weekend, President Joe Biden also garnered his own attention. On Friday, January 19, TikToker @christiandior.1 took to the platform to share a video of Biden “just chillin” in his home.
The young man captioned the clip, “dinner with POTUS.”
In the video, Christian explained that Biden visited his residence the day before. The visit was executed in true presidential style, with many Secret Service agents and photographers on location.
Ultimately, Christian gave viewers a look at Biden touring his home and eating a meal with his family.
Check out the clip below.
On Friday, Biden also took to X to share his own recap of his visit with the family. As seen in Christin’s TikTok, the president’s visit appeared to be part of a larger initiative around student debt.
