Waka Flocka Flame Urges Donald Trump to Abolish Columbus Day, Deems it a Disrespectful Holiday

Over the weekend, Waka Flocka Flame took to Twitter to call on Donald Trump to abolish Columbus Day, denouncing it as a holiday that symbolizes disrespect for the Black community. In his tweet, he expressed that as a Black man in the United States, Columbus Day celebrations are a “spit in our faces.” It’s worth noting that Columbus Day is typically observed on October 12, and it is also recognized by some as Indigenous Peoples Day, highlighting the contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples.

Waka Flocka Flame wrote on Twitter, “Dear Trump abolish Christopher Columbus Day… As a what’s called Blackman in United States this holiday is a spit in our faces… Thanks from Waka Flocka Flame and the People!!!”

However, the timing of the request raised eyebrows among some fans, given that Joe Biden is currently the President of the United States. Many questioned why Waka Flocka Flame directed his appeal to Donald Trump. Fans also pointed out that the post coincides with a time when Columbus Day is not actively celebrated.

When The Neighborhood Talk shared a screenshot of Waka Flocka Flame’s tweet on Instagram, fans engaged in a discussion, expressing confusion and skepticism. Some remarked on the perceived irony of asking a former president, known for controversial views, to abolish a holiday associated with a historical figure like Columbus. One user wrote, “Telling a deranged racist who doesn’t respect him as a human being to abolish a holiday about a drunken and deranged racist? Never going to happen.”

This isn’t the first time Waka Flocka Flame has made headlines for his views on politics. Last October, he shared a picture of himself with Donald Trump, endorsing him for the 2024 election. Stay tuned for more updates on Waka Flocka Flame on HotNewHipHop.
