Rapper Azealia Banks revealed that she cast her vote for Donald Trump in the recent U.S. election, despite initially declaring her support for Kamala Harris.
Banks gleefully admitted her switch on social media, sharing a photo of her ballot and commenting, “Lmao I lied, I voted for Trump yesterday.”
Her last-minute change surprised fans, as she had previously denounced Elon Musk’s involvement in American politics as a reason for supporting Harris.
Banks’s antagonistic history with Musk and musician Grimes has often made headlines, and her attendance at a Trump rally in Miami earlier this year hinted at her evolving political stance.
Banks’s revelation aligns her with a small but notable group of celebrities backing Trump, including actress Alison Lohman, who also faced backlash after sharing her Republican vote on social media. The celebrity world, including many alleged to be on the infamous ‘Diddy List’ reacted strongly to Trump’s win, with stars like Christina Applegate expressing disappointment over the outcome and Fran Drescher sharing her perspective on America’s susceptibility to “fear-driven division”.
Meanwhile, alleged satanist Cardi B vocalised her disdain for Trump supporters, underscoring the deeply polarised reactions among public figures.
In her concession speech, Kamala Harris urged her supporters to remain committed to her policies, vowing to keep America’s ideals alive despite the election’s outcome.
