As Joe Biden continues to shed support among key demographic groups, Donald Trump is only becoming more popular among voting blocs that have traditionally backed Democratic candidates by large margins.
Black Americans are among the most notable examples, particularly with prominent hip-hop artists either explicitly endorsing the presumptive GOP nominee or at least acknowledging that they understand the appeal of Trump’s candidacy.
This trend was on display recently during a recent rap concert in Utah, as reported by the Daily Mail:
Musician Waka Flocka Flame, whose real name is Juaquin James Malphurs, was performing at the Club Sky in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 27 when he addressed the crowd.
The 38-year-old rapper could be heard telling his Democratic Party supporting fans: ‘All Joe Biden voters, get out of my concert. We’re gonna party right now for T24’- referencing GOP candidate Donald Trump‘s 2024 Presidential campaign.
As his sudden announcement caused mixed reactions among the crowd, he quickly launched into his hit ‘It’s A Party’ which was dedicated to Trump.
Footage from the concert quickly began to spread far and wide on social media:

As Florida’s Voice reported in May:
Former President Donald Trump was invited to attend rapper Waka Flocka Flame’s concert in Miami on his birthday, June 14, sources have exclusively told Florida’s Voice.
No specific details were yet given, but two sources have told Florida’s Voice that Trump and his team are in talks with organizers, and that the concert is set to take place next month.
According to reports, Trump’s recent rally in the South Bronx Thursday drew 8,000-10,000 people.
“This rally did look a lot like America. There was a lot of Asian voters there. There were a lot of Hispanic voters, a lot of black voters there,” CBS said following the rally.
And let’s not forget Biden’s advice to Black voters from four years ago:
