At a Major League Soccer game over the weekend, news reports were abuzz that DMC of the legendary hip-hop group, Run-DMC, was "allegedly" running for president. However, according to AllHipHop, this is not the case.
At the Lionel Messi’s debut match at Red Bull Arena in New York City, DMC made a statement to OutKick that stirred the speculation. He said, “The whole beauty of everything that’s going on, Messi being here, soccer, MLS, everything that’s going on, this is what the world is all about. We see so much division, but if we go to a soccer game or concert or museum, where the sports and art is, it’s a true representation of how great this world is. Not can be, is.”
DMC continued, “And I am running for President starting today, because in a beautiful place like this… what better place to announce it? But it’s all about togetherness and people coming together.”
AllHipHop spoke exclusively to the performer and he clarified that the statement was a misconstrued one, and he has no political aspirations. He laughed, “That’s why media today is a joke. They just run with anything before even confirming it. I would never run for president. I get more done as a representative of all people. The point I was trying to make is the arts succeed where politics and religion fail. The real world is when people who are from different races and cultures can come together at concerts, museums, plays, sporting events, restaurants, and comic cons. This shows the unique diverse but universally connected world we live in. Politics and religion are used divisively, but events with art and performance bring us together.”
DMC has his hands full as he is celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop with his partner, Run. They recently performed together at the Rock the Bells concert in Queens and Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, marking the last time they will be performing together. They only did so for the celebration of hip-hop. After their DJ, Jam Master Jay was killed in 2002, they declared that they would never perform as Run-DMC again.
