Newly released footage shows the moment an Atlanta rapper sparked controversy after asking all supporters of President Joe Biden to leave his concert.
Musician Waka Flocka Flame, whose real name is Juaquin James Malphurs, was performing at 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 supporters: “All you Joe Biden voters, get out of my concert. We’re gonna party right now for T24,” referring to Republican candidate Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
As her sudden announcement sparked mixed reactions from the crowd, she quickly released her hit “It’s A Party,” dedicated to Trump.

Images of the moment soon went viral and garnered massive support from other Republican Party supporters in X.
One Trump lover wrote: ‘I knew I’d always liked Waka!’
While another praised the rapper, saying: “That takes courage.”
One Trump 2024 campaign activist cheered: “Nobody wants to be around them!” while another said: “Haha! Everyone is sick of putting up with these losers.”
Waka Flocka Flame first endorsed Trump on X by expressing his favor towards the former president in October 2023.
But he is not the only rapper joining the ‘Black Americans for Trump’ coalition in this election.
In early June, Detroit’s Sada Baby joined Peezy and Icewear Vezzo to attend the Republican Roundtable with local Black community leaders.
Waka Flocka Flame had first endorsed Trump on X by expressing his favoritism for the former president in October 2023.
Biden insiders continue to insist that the 81-year-old president will continue to fight Trump despite his disastrous first debate just five days after his victory.
Speaking about his political leanings, Vezzo later said: Fox News:A lot of Democrats assume that we’re supposed to vote blindly. I think we have to work for our votes, I think our parents voted blindly for generations, but I think this generation is now understanding that we have to ask questions.
New York City rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, who had been charged with murder conspiracy in May 2023, spoke at a Trump rally in the Bronx in May of this year.
St. Louis rapper Sexyy Red, a member of the coalition, also explained during a podcast why so many black musicians had become supporters of the Republican Party.
“Once he started bailing black people out of jail and giving them free money… Oh, baby, we love Trump… We need him back because, baby, those checks,” she told comedian Theo Von in October.
The viral moment comes just after at least 25 Democratic members of Congress were set to call on Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race in the coming days, while a couple of senators have distanced themselves from the ailing president.
Biden’s allies continue to insist that the 81-year-old president will continue to fight Trump despite their disastrous first debate just five days later.
Despite his insistence, his support appears to be crumbling among his fellow Democrats.
The House revolt was expected to come if Biden “appears unstable in the coming days,” as one Democratic aide warned: “The dam is broken.”
