Lil Pump took his adulation for Donald Trump to the next level by getting a tattoo of the former president’s face. The Miami-bred rapper showed off the new ink on his leg in two photos on Instagram.
“MAGA,” he wrote in the caption.
Lil Pump pledged his support for Trump during the 2020 presidential race and remained loyal in subsequent years. Lil Pump even appeared on stage with Trump at a campaign rally in 2020, but Trump mistakenly referred to the rapper as “Lil Pimp.”
“I appreciate everything you’ve done for our country,” the rapper told Trump at the rally. “You brought the troops home and you’re doing the right thing. MAGA!”
Last November, Trump shouted out Lil Pump at a campaign rally in Florida. Trump said the rapper was “one of the few” artists who publicly vouched for the twice-impeached politician. Lil Pump reaffirmed his support for Trump a month later.
“Greatest president of all time,” he captioned a picture of himself and Trump on Instagram.
Lil Pump revealed his Trump tattoo a week after unexpectedly calling out Joe Budden on social media. The 23-year-old artist threatened to fight Budden for abusing women.
“I don’t respect a guy who f###### hits women,” he said on Instagram Live. “You hear me? So, listen up – f### Joe Budden! ‘Cause you literally harass women. Why the f### is you harassing women, hoe ass n####? You know what? Your ass will burn in hell ‘cause I’m ready to crash out by this s###.”
Lil Pump posted Budden’s mugshot and an old article about sexual harassment allegations against the rapper-turned-podcaster on Instagram Stories. Budden faced domestic violence and grand larceny charges in the past, but the criminal charges were dropped. Budden pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, a violation in New York, in 2016.
