NBA YoungBoy has expressed his support for Donald Trump on his new album, MASA.
On the album's third song, "XXX", the controversial rapper spits: "Whatever Trump doin' / Bitch, it's good for the young uns (all hail Trump)."
YoungBoy has more reason than most to be supportive of Trump given the president gave him a pardon earlier this year over his gun charges.
The controversial rapper had been sentenced to two years in prison for weapons possession but released in March to serve out home arrest.
YoungBoy still had time to serve on probation but will no longer have to abide by the conditions following the pardon from Trump.
YoungBoy said in a statement after news of the pardon was made public: "I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building — as a man, as a father, and as an artist."
Trump and the White House are yet to comment on the reasons behind the pardon but the Republican president does have a history of acting favorably towards rap stars.
Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were famously pardoned by Trump at the end of his first term as president in 2021.
At the time, Kodak was in the middle of a prison stint over a weapons charge with Trump citing the rapper's "philanthropic efforts" as a reason for the pardon.
Wayne was also pardoned on gun charges as he awaited sentencing.
Weezy then thanked Trump for the pardon: "I want to thank President Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to give to my family, my art, and my community. I also want to thank @bradfordcohen for working so diligently to secure another chance for me. Love!"
Before the pardon arrived, Wayne had publicly endorsed Trump as he was running for re-election in 2020, a race he ultimately lost to Joe Biden.
Trump has found much support in the Hip Hop world with 50 Cent often seen praising the reality star turned politician while he has also drawn endorsements from Benny the Butcher and Wacka Flocka Flame.
