In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald Trump and convicted fraudster Billy McFarland are being recognized as songwriters alongside Kodak Black and Fivio Foreign for their latest track, "ONBOA47RD." The song features the two rap icons openly endorsing Trump for the presidency, and even includes a sample of his voice.
According to Rolling Stone, Kodak refers to the former President as "family" in the song. This just goes to show the strong relationship between the two, as Kodak proudly raps, "I ain't even see this many Black people freed during the Obama days/Told her she can have anything she want, just not my Donald chain." However, it should be noted that this statement is a gross mischaracterization of Trump's clemency record. While Obama granted clemency to 1,927 individuals during his two terms, Trump only granted it to 237, according to Pew Research. In fact, Trump has been more conservative with his clemency power than any other president since 1900, except for Bush.
Billboard reports that Kodak has been a vocal supporter of Trump since the former President granted him a pardon in 2021. In a video posted on X in 2022, Kodak exclaimed, "We need Trump in office forever, man. Just like how them Chinese and Russian and Korean muthafuckas have their president. Trump the best thing for America—for sure, ya heard me." This strong endorsement was also reflected in a post on Instagram, where Kodak and his collaborator tagged Trump's account. However, Trump has yet to respond to the song or the endorsements.
Interestingly enough, Kodak and Lil Wayne are currently the only rappers who have publicly endorsed Trump. It should be noted that Lil Wayne was also pardoned by Trump. On the other hand, Sexxy Red, who had previously made comments that seemed to endorse Trump in 2023, clarified her stance in 2024 on X by stating that she is not endorsing any candidate for president. This just goes to show that the rap community is divided when it comes to their political views.
In the midst of all this political turmoil, it seems that Kodak Black has also stirred up some beef with fellow rapper Plies over their differing views on Trump's assassination attempt. However, with the release of "ONBOA47RD," it is clear that Kodak is standing firmly behind his support for Trump. The question remains: will Trump respond to this unexpected endorsement from the rap world? Only time will tell.
