Please Enjoy Donald Trump Calling Lil Pump ‘Little Pimp’ At His Final Campaign Rally
Don't worry, the rapper fixed the audio when he posted the clip to Instagram.
Lil Pump is one of few celebrities who have thrown their weight behind Donald Trump this election, appearing at the president’s final campaign rally to give a speech. One slight problem: Trump has no idea what his name is, and called him Little Pimp.
Speaking in Michigan early Tuesday morning around 1am, Trump invited “one of the big superstars of the world” onto the stage, announcing he loved the rapper’s ‘sound’ and ‘music’, which sounds like what you’d say if you’d never heard any of it.
“And speaking of sound and music and other things,” he said, “one of the biggest superstars in the world… Lil Pimp!”
Lil Pump, real name Gazzy Garcia, took it in his stride, and continued on with his speech in which he congratulated the president for “doing the right thing” and bringing ‘troops home’. He then threw out MAGA hats to the crowd.
When he later uploaded a video of his ‘speech’ to Instagram, Garcia posted a version with altered audio, where Trump says his name correctly.
The rapper first expressed support for Trump last week via Instagram, where he said he didn’t want to pay lots of tax, as is ‘sleepy Joe’s’ plan. Back in 2016, he tweeted “fuck Donald Trump”, suggesting that something — aka his tax bracket — has changed.
Trump also butchered several other names at his final rally too as he spent a significant portion of his election-closing appearance talking about celebrities who support Joe Biden. He called Beyoncé ‘Beyonsee’, said LeBron James ‘sucks’ and that he had ‘stories to tell’ about someone called Ladeyyy Gahh Gahh.
