In a surprising move that has ignited a social media frenzy, Lil Pump, the “Gucci Gang” artist, unveiled a new tattoo featuring Donald Trump’s scowling face on his thigh. The tattoo, based on Trump’s infamous mugshot from a 2023 arrest, boldly declares Pump’s allegiance to the ‘Make America Great Again’ (MAGA) movement.
The rapper’s Instagram post, accompanied by a concise caption of “MAGA” and two United States flag emojis, received mixed reactions, with producer Mike Dean expressing disdain through vomiting emojis, while UFC fighter Colby Covington and Donald Trump Jr. applauded the bold statement.
This recent tattoo isn’t an isolated incident in Lil Pump’s history of endorsing Trump. From a Trump-inspired hairstyle to appearances at Trump rallies, the rapper has consistently aligned himself with the former president, forming an unexpected camaraderie that began three years ago at a Michigan rally.
The controversial tattoo raises questions about the role of politics in the world of hip-hop, as artists like Lil Pump utilize their platform to make bold political statements.
