It may be too late for Waka Flocka to throw his name in the hat for the 2020 election but he is still telling the world how he would spend his first day in office.

Following the tragic murder of Ahmaud Arbery, Waka Flocka believes that more of a focus should be placed on racism in the White House. A number of celebrities have spoken out about the killing of the 25-year-old, who was shot dead while jogging by two men who have not been arrested.

If we ever live to see a day where Waka Flocka runs for office, we now know what he would do on his first day.

“If I become president first thing im doing is putting in a war on racism act,” said the rapper on Instagram. “Racism to me is like terrorist, bullies, evil, and wrong doing there’s no difference from either #wakaforpresident.”

As it stands, the 2020 Presidential Election will likely see two frontrunners on the ballot in Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Waka Flocka may decide to run as an independent. 

This is definitely something that we can get behind as the number of racist killings in the United States is ridiculous. Waka Flocka for President?

The United States signed a peace deal with Taliban militants on Saturday, according to the Associated Press. Both sides seek to end the 18 years of conflict in Afghanistan.

The agreement should see the withdrawal of all American and allied forces from Afghanistan within the next 14 months. Troops will be withdrawn slowly during that time with totals dropping from 13,000 troops to 8,600 troops in the next 3-4 months. A complete withdrawal will be determinant on the Taliban’s required actions to prevent future terrorism.

“We will closely watch the Taliban’s compliance with their commitments, and calibrate the pace of our withdrawal to their actions. This is how we will ensure that Afghanistan never again serves as a base for international terrorists,” said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

The invasion of Afghanistan was ordered in response to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, but grew into a larger intervention engulfing much of the Middle East, that has resulted in the US spending $750 billion, the death of tens of thousands, and the growth of more terrorist organizations such as ISIS. 

The Washington Post published “The Afghanistan Papers” in December 2019, detailing gross incompetence, the misleading of the public to present an image of success, and more. You can check out that full report here.

On the heels of the controversial thesis that "being a rapper was more dangerous than being a soldier," Jim Jones found himself in a heated social media debate with an Iraq War veteran. In response, the Veteran slid into Jones' comments to voice his concern with Jones' position, explaining that it had disturbed him as both a soldier and a hip-hop fan. Citing the devastating loss of life his unit saw in 2004, the soldier maintained that there was "zero comparison to be made" between the two career paths.

Never one to balk at a challenge, Jones actively doubled-down on his position with a passionate and emotionally motivated response. "Here are facts every n***a I grew up with is either dead or in jail so u wanna compare death tolls it won't add up. U went to army n met n***as u never knew or grew up wit. I grew up wit all these n***as all my life so it hit different."

"Yal was shootin at kids n innocent bystanders in the midst of shootin at the enemy," he continues. "We was kids shootin at kids n that mentality split over to success. Remember u knew who ur enemies were, we don't and everybody knows who we are because of our notoriety so how u protect urself from enemies you can't see? We all wear the same uniform, everyone is drippy. But ya'll had American uniforms on and the enemy had their uniform on. You had the church of goin to war. We didn't. We was at war when we was born."

Though Jones only shared that part of the debate on his page, the soldier -- IG handled as Mez -- actually shared a response on his own IG. Explaining that a sense of honor and duty drove his decision to fight in Iraq after the September 11th, 2001 attacks hit New York City, he reiterates that many people shared the same mentality. "You want to compare a lifestyle choice in comparison to somebody that not only subjects themselves to danger protecting their loved ones, but people they don't even know," maintains Mez. "When you get into the rap game you're doing it for what? Money. Not every single rapper, but you know who those rappers are -- those are the ones who don't get caught in the mainstream rap."

"I'm not going to make it a blanket statement," concludes Mez. "But one of the motivating facts is the opportunity to make money. When they make money they start feeding the people underneath them and putting it out there. Trying to make some change, I completely support that and understand that. But at the same time, it's a lifestyle choice. There's a lot that comes with that -- don't blame me or the military for that....If you're trying to make a difference in that lifestyle go ahead and do so, but you don't have to insult a whole group of people in doing so. Especially military women and men, who go out there and fight for the country for the sake of us. Especially after 9/11 -- we were directly attacked and we made the decision to fight for our country."

Mez made it a point to tag The Breakfast Club hosts, imploring Jones to meet him in the middle for a live discussion. At this rate, perhaps it would be for the best; common ground isn't as far as they might think. Where do you stand on this matter?

Tory Lanez might not be affected by the current threat of war looming between the United States and Iran because of his Canadian nationality but the superstar still decided to voice his opinion on the frightful situation. With all the WWIII memes being shared across TikTok, Twitter, and other social media platforms, Lanez offered his take on why President Donald Trump chose to attack his rivals with a drone airstrike, killing general Qasem Soleimani. In the artist's eyes, it all has to do with the threat of being booted from the White House in the upcoming election.

On December 24, Drake gave fans a Christmas gift with his "War" freestyle, which appeared on Oliver El-Khatib's El-Kuumba Tape Vol. 1. As is the case whenever Drake freestyles, he came loaded with bravado, talking up his crew while sending vague shots at opponents. A lot of names are dropped in the song, thus raising questions about who is being praised and who is being dissed.. While the mentioning of Detail is a transparent reference to him being beaten up by Drake's bodyguard back in 2014, the rest of the people Drake shouts out appear to be his affiliates. However, Drake is making sure to clear up any misinterpretation that he was trying to shade any Toronto rappers on "War". 

"Just wanna say this for my city in regards to the song 'War.' My goal is to always uplift and show love to rappers that are buzzing and gaining the world's attention," Drake wrote in an Instagram story. "My goal is to use our talks that we all use without having it feel like I am taking sides. My goal is to make anyone feel like with the right songs and the right team and the right amount of drive and focus they can push past the darkness and be able to provide for their people and create a legacy. I understand there are politics in every city that we can't deny or escape but I want to be clear on my intentions when I show recognition and support. I pray you all emerge successful and can't wait to see what artists from Toronto pop off in 2020 and beyond."

The sudden fever to be anywhere but the United States in the wake of suspected aftermath of Donald Trump's latest airstrike in Iran is not immune to celebrity status, and Cardi B was among the most vocal public figures in a seemingly joking interpretation of the situation.

Saturday, the rapper took to Twitter to declare that she would be applying for Nigerian citizenship as a safety measure in the event that total war broke out between the middle eastern nation and her home country. Soon enough, however, her plea for citizenship was met with an immediate reaction from the chairman of Nigeria's diaspora commission.

"@iamcardib As one in charge of the Diaspora for Ngr, We can’t wait to receive you again," penned Abike Dabiri-Erewa in a tweet. "Our doors are open, sister. And you need to talk a walk through the Door of Return in Badagry. It’s an indescribable experience."

After President Donald Trump ordered a drone strike on Iran killing Qasem Soleimani, the internet is fearful that we're nearing the commencement of World War III. If you've been logged onto Twitter for even the briefest period of time this morning, you're fully aware of all the chatter surrounding Iran, a potential war, and Trump. There are plenty of memes being shared, making us giggle in the face of danger. Of course, people are worried that if a major war is declared, we will be involved in a draft and New York rapper Joey Bada$$ is already voicing his displeasure at that possibility.

Taking to Twitter to comment on the madness happening in our world, Joey Badmon apologized to the United States of America before announcing that he will have no part in the war everyone believes is imminent. "SORRY AMERIKKKA BUT I WILL NOT BE YOUR SOLIDER," he wrote. Unfortunately, Joey, like the rest of us, may not even have a say in whether or not he will fight in a potential World War III. Hopefully, we don't ever reach that point.

What do you think about the airstrike Trump ordered on Iran, and the subsequent threats uttered against the country?
