You just might see BlocBoy JB sporting a MAGA hat in the near future, as the rapper tweeted out his growing fondness for President Donald Trump on Friday. As coronavirus spreads worldwide, many have taken issue with the ways in which certain government officials have been handling the global pandemic, including the Trump administration in the United States. Most recently, folks have been criticizing Trump for lashing out at an NBC reporter, Peter Alexander, who merely asked the president what he would say to Americans who are scared about coronavirus. Trump began dunking on Alexander, calling him a "terrible reporter" and denouncing him for asking such a "nasty question." Alexander went on to issue an apology, but many were frankly appalled at Trump's disrespectful response.

However, it appears that a certain Memphis rapper feels differently about the POTUS. It looks like BlocBoy JB, who nearly lost his life last week after jumping off of a second story balcony into a pool and almost hitting the pavement, has taken notice of Trump as of late, and the artist likes how he moves. While he doesn't mention the incident with the reporter specifically, BlocBoy took to Twitter to share his changing views on Trump, telling his followers that he's actually "starting to like" him.
"I’m Starting To Like Trump No Cap," he wrote, followed by an emoji of an actual cap. "Dude Ass To Gangsta." The replies were divided, with some roasting the rapper for aligning himself with Trump, while others actually agreed with him.
DeMarcus Cousins Explains Why LeBron James Should Be President
DeMarcus Cousins is a big fan of his Los Angeles Lakers teammate.
DeMarcus Cousins hasn't played a single game for the Los Angeles Lakers this season although he has been front and center for much of this success. As a result, Cousins has gotten to know LeBron James first hand and can confidently speak to the superstar's character. In a recent appearance on the All The Smoke podcast with Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, Cousins talked at length about LeBron and his thoughts on the NBA legend.
As he explains, Cousins never expected LeBron to be so down to earth especially since he only knew him as more of a corporate guy. However, playing with LeBron has allowed Cousins to understand just how real LeBron is and that he's a guy who gets things done. Cousins strongly believes LeBron is one of the most well-liked guys in the NBA and that he should even run for president someday.
Cousins thinks if there is anyone in the NBA who could be president, it would have to be LeBron. Barnes and Jackson immediately agreed with Cousins and noted that if he were to run, they would immediately vote for him. Oddly enough, LeBron is 35 now which means he would technically be allowed to run in 2020 but clearly, that's not in the cards.
These latest comments bode well for LeBron who has been criticized at times for being difficult to play with. Based on Cousins' account, there is no teammate better than James.
Snoop Dogg Roasts Donald Trump For His Presidential Ambitions In Throwback Clip
If only he knew then what he knows now.
Snoop Dogg is definitely not one to hold back on roasting people on social media, but today, he didn’t need to resort to using any brutal memes or do any good old-fashioned trolling. In this case, Snoop From The Past did all the roasting for him. In a throwback video from “Comedy Central’s Roast of Donald Trump” in 2011, years before the roast subject would become President of the United States, Snoop took the podium to contribute to the mockery.
In the brief clip, Snoop drags Trump for the way he got his money and his presumably tiny junk: “Now from me to you, Donald, I wish I had half of your money. But for that, you need a 20-year-old’s p*ssy and a divorce lawyer. Now I may not have half his paper, but I got twice the d*ck, and you can believe that.” The audience reacted well to these lighter and less severe jokes, and Trump kept a closed-mouth grin on his face the entire time. Snoop’s next bit, however, is not only more ruthless and twisted than the first half, but also eerie to watch in the present day. Snoop points out that Trump, at the time, was already considering running for office. “Donald says he wants to run for president and move on into the White House. Why not? It wouldn’t be the first time you pushed a black family out of their home.” The audience responds with shock, including Ivanka Trump, who can be seen in the crowd covering her face with disbelief. However, the wilder aspect for a viewer in 2020 is how nobody in that room had any idea that he would actually (unfortunately) succeed in this endeavour. Snoop captioned the post with nothing but a “?” emoji, signifying his status. The roast is certainly GOAT-worthy, but it’s still crazy to think what the future had in store for everyone back then.
