Some influential names in hip-hop were excited to see the conviction of former U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday (May 30).
This week, the likes of 50 Cent, Meek Mill, Ice-T, Plies, Bas, and others reacted to the news on social media after Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial.
Those who commented on the news expressed criticism over the fact that Trump will still likely be able to run for president, as Trump stated upon leaving the New York City court that he still intends to take office.
"Dear Black Folks: If U Want Lawmakers To Change The Law About Convicted Felons Being Able To Run For President," Plies wrote on X. "I'm About To Tell Everyone How To Fix It! All African Americans Convicted Felons Let's Start Signing Up For Elections & Running! An Watch How Fast They Change That Law!"
Others echoed Plies' sentiments, like Bas, who posted, "Can't vote as a felon, but you can run for President?"
Meanwhile rapper/actor Ice-T appeared to endorse Trump being institutionalized, sharing a meme of a prison guard tower emblazoned with the Trump Tower logo.
