Swae Lee, the voice behind hits like "Sunflower," has stirred the pot once again. The rapper recently spilled on "The Breakfast Club" about a hefty $90,000 offer from the Trump administration. The catch? It came after his viral critique of Kamala Harris, the Democratic frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race. Lee, however, didn't bite. He made it crystal clear – he's not backing any political figure, including Trump.
"I don't hate Kamala Harris, but like I ain't never announced my solidarity with no politician. Like some people think I'm a Trump supporter," Lee told "The Breakfast Club."
Lee's candidness about his political neutrality comes as a breath of fresh air. Despite the assumption that he might lean towards Trump, Lee insists he’s just encouraging voters to stay woke. "You honestly got to look at what this person is pushing," he added, urging fans to scrutinize candidates' policies closely.
While some might leap at $90,000, Lee turned it down, valuing principles over paychecks. He described the offer as "not good money" and stood firm in his quest for genuine political change. "All money ain't good money," he shared with Charlamagne Tha God, stressing that he’s waiting for a leader who brings real, positive change.
Lee's decision wasn't just about the cash – it was about integrity. The rapper said he got offers both before and after his Harris critique. But for him, it's not about the money; it's about the message.
