Nipsey Hustle described Kanye West’s outright support for President Donald Trump as a “kick in the gut.” He recently spoke with Angie Martinez about his Victory Lap tour and took some time out to address Kanye and him sporting the “Make America Great Again” hat on social media.
Nipsey, who’s one of the first rappers that openly opposed Trump recently performed his now infamous “FDT” song with a picture of Kanye wearing the hat behind him on stage. Nipsey clarified his actions stating that he wasn’t taking a shot at Kanye. “I wouldn’t even consider that a personal jab at dude,” he said.
“I just felt like when I was doing visuals for these songs, it was no more fitting a piece of art or picture that represented how people felt about the president, and what the convo around dude was at the time.” He went on to explain what Kanye wearing the hat felt like to him. “As people, me coming from the street, representing the street, that’s how we all felt when we seen that dude with that hat on, like it was a kick in the gut,” he continued.
Aside from dishing on Kanye, Nipsey also celebrated the success of his critically acclaimed “Victory Lap” album by announcing the start of his official tour for the project.
