Nas Calls Donald Trump a Racist in Open Letter
Nas didn’t mince words about President Donald Trump in an open letter he shared on Mass Appeal today. “We all know a racist is in office,” he wrote. “People can talk their shit…but when you have the responsibility of being President and you carry on like that, you send a strong message to people outside of your group that they ain’t worth shit.” Nas insisted that it doesn’t matter who is in office, but rather how their actions affect the citizens they govern. “My way of addressing these issues is through my work,” he continued. “I observe what’s going on and that goes into my creative process. The person himself, I’m not caught up with. I don’t even have time for Trump or Pence. I don’t give a fuck.” Read the entire letter here.
It’s not the first time he’s voiced his opinion about Trump. He obliquely went after the then-presidential candidate in his 2016 collaboration with DJ Khaled, “Nas Album Done,” saying, “‘Celebrity Apprentice’ a devil show.” (Watch the video for that song here.) He also called Trump a “toupee-wearing liar” during his verse on Robin Thicke’s single “Deep.”
Several rappers have been vocal about their disdain for Trump, including Snoop Dogg, who released a music video for “Lavender” that featured a Trump lookalike dressed as a clown. Trump himself tweeted about it.
