Rapper Meek Mill appeared to post a tacit endorsement of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign on social media Tuesday, and the internet didn’t know what to make of it.
Meek Mill, whose real name is Robert Williams, shared a clip of former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy speaking at a Trump rally in New Hampshire. Ramaswamy dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump after Monday’s Iowa caucuses.
Williams posted, “Wait til yall see who the black people in poverty voting for!!!!”

If Williams is indeed supporting Trump’s bid for the White House, it wouldn’t be the first time a popular rapper has endorsed the 45th president.
Since 2016, Trump has received the backing of stars such as Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Ice Cube and Chief Keef, according to the New York Post.
Rapper Lil Pump even appeared at a Trump rally in 2020. In November, he led an audience at the University of Arizona in a pro-Trump chant.
