Lil Wayne Blasts ‘People Who Don’t Know Nothing,’ Defends President Trump’s Ballroom Plans

While the usual suspects in the Democrat Party, Hollywood, and the mainstream media can’t resist trashing President Donald Trump’s plans for a secure, state-of-the-art ballroom addition to the White House, those who aren’t riddled with Trump Derangement Syndrome can see why it actually might be a very good idea.

And that realization wasn’t lost on rapper Lil Wayne, who recently opined that the president’s determination wasn’t rooted in ego like some of his critics suggest.

As The Hill reported:

“I’m so glad to hear Trump say — when they was mad at him about building the ballroom — and he was like, everything we do we have to do it on the d*** lawn,” Carter said during a Monday appearance on the “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast.

“So people who don’t know nothing, [are] hearing that thinking he’s just being Trump — no, for real, I was glad to hear him saying that,” the rapper added.

During the segment, Carter reflected on his 2023 performance for former Vice President Kamala Harris at her 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop party, which was hosted outside at the vice-presidential residence, Number One Observatory Circle.

Carter mistakenly thought he appeared at the White House and said the event resembled a “backyard barbeque,” noting that he was shocked after not being invited inside.

Here’s some of the reaction his remarks received on social media:

I guess the weed helped expand their minds into grasping the concept.

AOL added these details:

He shared his opinion one year after Trump announced he was building the new ballroom. Construction started in September 2025 and the East Wing of the White House was demolished a month later to make room – a move pundits like MS NOW’s Joe Scarboroughcomplained about on TV.

Others have floated conspiracy theories, like MeidasTouch podcaster Anthony Davis arguing Trump wants to “hunker down” in the ballroom and never leave after the 2028 election.

After the latest assassination attempt against him at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in April, Trump argued the ballroom was vital for security reasons.

“What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE,” Trump argued. “This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House. It cannot be built fast enough!”
