Lil Pump, the South Florida rapper known for hits like "Gucci Gang," has not released new music since his track "Glow in the Dark" dropped last September.

Instead, it seems he has traded his microphone for a MAGA cape, showing fervent support for former president and 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Lil Pump's endorsement of Trump is not new.

Ahead of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the rapper declared his allegiance to Trump and even appeared at a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

During the rally, Trump mistakenly introduced him as "Little Pimp," a moment that led to widespread ridicule from his peers.

Despite the backlash and the revelation that he did not vote in the 2020 election, Pump has continued to support Trump ardently.

In recent months, Lil Pump has shifted his focus from the studio to political advocacy, frequently posting pro-Trump content on his social media accounts.

After sharing a photo with Trump last December and calling him the "greatest president of all time," Pump's timeline on X, formerly known as Twitter, has been filled with Trump propaganda. This has been particularly evident in the run-up to the U.S. presidential debate on Thursday night (June 27).

"Tonight a coked up crooked Joe Biden will lie over and over again to the American people," Pump wrote in a post on X, part of a series of tweets supporting Trump. "The American people know the truth tho. Biden caused inflation. He opened our borders. And he has started global chaos. Trump 202024 [sic]."

As Lil Pump's social media presence continues to be dominated by his political stance, fans and followers can look back at the many moments he's shown support for Donald Trump as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
