Jim Jones Defends Rappers Visiting The White House: “The President Is The President!”

Jim Jones shares his thoughts that Hip-Hop has a place in the White House, no matter who sits in the Oval Office.

In an interview with TMZ, Jones spoke about rappers attending political events under the Trump administration.

“I’ma take it to the days where I knew the President is the President and we wasn’t allowed to get to the White House [or be] next to the White House. It used to be a great thing to do because you’re now talking to the President, or you’re performing for the President.”

“The president is still the president. It was a race. Somebody lost the race. Somebody won the race. What do they expect us to do? Disrespect the president because that person didn’t win? No, he’s still the president of the United States so we still have to show that much respect to the President of the United States,” he continued. “That’s how I feel about it. And, I’m not political and sh*t like that. I didn’t vote for anybody.”

He also noted that he would show up to the White House if he ever got invited.

“If I was to get an invitation no matter who was in the office, nine times out of 10, I think I [would] pop out to go to the White House,” he said. “I’m a kid from the projects that we known the president to be the ruler of the world … I want my chance to be at the White House too… Don’t crucify me for just giving you my honest opinion.”

Recently, rappers have faced heavy criticism for appearing at events supported by Trump and MAGA devotees. During Trump’s inauguration events Snoop Dogg, Nelly, and Rick Ross performed at events.

On Thursday (Feb 20), Additionally, Boosie Badazz, Kodak Black, and Rod Wave attended Trump’s Black History Month celebration at the White House.
